don't get me wrong my hopes are best for bluesky, i got an invite about a month ago and so far i'm liking how it feels but man some of the posters are freaks (i mean this in a fun way)

Those loveable freaks are half the fun, and I hope they can also fit in actual useful nonjokey posting because right now it's the opposite of Mastodon. Maybe if I mix one part Mastodon and one part Bluesky I can get something akin to a working Good Twitter clone out of it.

The more you kick against the pricks, the more you suffer.
So are Twitter's remaining landlords just for a good position in the bankruptcy or what?

The story told is that when he was young and living in South Africa he was stuck by one of the most unfair thing one can see in an apartheid country: ADS. In particular ads where POOR POOR BRAND X was always showed as inferior to the product being advertised. The injustice was so great, his goal in life became to save the honor of the X brand. I loving wish i was making up that poo poo.

LOL it's his retaliation against the guy who was writing text with lasers on his facade. Of course, the whole building is caught in the collateral damage. What a piece of poo poo.

From the images I remember, the projected messages appear to have come from the building across the street behind that boomlift dismantling the Twitter sign.

Apropos: Did they get the proper permits for removing the signage now or are they just doing it hush-hush in the cover of the night because Elon is a problem solver?

He's a cheap idiot on the dumbest things, it'd be cheaper to get the permits and do it correctly, rather than dealing with lawsuits wasting hundreds of thousands more on lawyers and litigation. That said, he is doing it at night, while sleeping in a cardboard box he stole from a homeless and playing on his $25000 gaming laptop, poorly.

We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own building codes. And while you're studying those structures—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new violations, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out.
