    The news surrounding Elon Musk and his takeover of Twitter seems to change by the hour. Last night, it was liberal journalists — but I repeat myself — with their hair on fire over what they thought was the impending shutdown of the site. A site, it should be noted, that they considered their personal sandbox before Elon came along and peed in it. Many Twitter Circles were formed so they could cry it out together; some channeled their inner teenage girl and dramatically announced their departure for other platforms … only to find those other platforms were laborious to...

    Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 13 Nov 2022 | John Semmens
    At his post-election press conference Wednesday President Biden was asked if he had concerns about Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter. "I think that Elon Musk's cooperation and/or technical relationships with other countries is worthy of being looked at," he responded. "Look, we had a great relationship with Twitter before Musk butted in," the President said. "They were very compliant with our desire to censor erroneous information, ideas, and opinions. Trump was permanently banned. Questions about the covid vaccines were quickly stifled. Dissent from our policy on the war in Ukraine was suppressed. Musk has reneged on all of this. He...

    The Gateway Pundit ^ | November 11, 2022 | Cassandra Fairbanks
    A Twitter engineering manager reportedly vomited into a trash can after being told to fire hundreds of people by one of Elon Musk’s advisers. The revelation came in a lengthy article from the New York Times on Musk’s first weeks as the owner of Twitter. "The fallout has often been excruciating, according to 36 current and former Twitter employees and people close to the company, as well as internal documents and workplace chat logs,” the Times report says. “Some top executives were summarily fired by email. One engineering manager, upon being told to cut hundreds of workers, vomited into a...
  • Vanity: Recommendation for Closed Over the Head Headphones $220 and under?

    Vanity ^ | November 9, 2022 | Me
    I was browsing the November 2023 Costco savings booklet. I noticed a Bose SE 45 Quiet Comfort headphones on sale on Black Friday Weekend for $219. This seems like a decent discount from the prices I have seen at Amazon and similar sites. I have never owned a high-quality pair of headphones. I am not an audiophile. This would be what I am looking for: 1: Comfort: I would wear these multiple hours during the day at my desk. 2: Sturdiness: The reason I have not invested in good headphones is I tend to abuse them, or they were poorly...

    Elon Musk is having way too much fun being the head of Twitter now and he’s entertaining us all in the process.Some on the left have been throwing tantrums over his takeover as well as his proposal to charge $8 per month for verification with some extra perks such as fewer ads. Among the people throwing fits were people like Kathy Griffin who decided to get back at Musk by trying to impersonate him on the site. Sarah Silverman and Valerie Bertinelli were doing it as well but pulled back when Musk said he would enforce the current terms of...

    An anti-Russia “bot army” of fake automated Twitter accounts flooded the Internet with pro-Ukraine propaganda at the start of the Russia-Ukraine war, according to a mostly unreported study by a team of researchers at the University of Adelaide in Australia. Up to 80 percent of tweets pushing the pro-Ukraine side in the beginning days of the Russia-Ukraine war were posted by bots, according to the study which examined over 5 million tweets. “The university researchers also found these automated tweets had been purposely used to drive up fear amongst people targeted by them, boosting a high level of statistically measurable...
  • Are Democrats trying to make Lee Zeldin sound cool? (great Lee Zeldin image with Led Zeppelin lettering)

    Patriot Report ^ | November 5, 2022 | Dianny
    In a Hail Mary attempt to prevent Republican Lee Zeldin from pulling off an upset next Tuesday, Democrat Kathy Hochul’s campaign decided to deploy an army of shrill, hectoring fishwives to stump for her in reliably Democrat Manhattan Thursday. And all they managed to do is make Zeldin sound cool. As I mentioned earlier this week, the panicked Hochul held a rally featuring the unpopular Kamala Harris and the equally unpopular Hillary Clinton. And during the event, Democrat Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney referred to Lee Zeldin as “Mr. No, Mr. Darkness.” When “New Yorker” reporter Erin Durkin tweeted Maloney’s quote...

    An in-depth look into the apparent bias against True The Vote by Judge Hoyt in a Civil Hearing. On Monday, True The Vote’s Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips were taken into custody after a Contempt Hearing in the Konnech v True The Vote defamation case, which after reading the transcripts, had very little to do with defamation at all. Both Catherine and Gregg refused to leak the name of the third Confidential Informant that was in the hotel room when Gregg Phillips was being shown the PII located on a Konnech database in China, and as a result, were sent...

    Twitter’s new owner on Tuesday indicated the social media giant will soon charge users $8.00 per month for a blue verification badge. “Twitter’s current lords & peasants system for who has or doesn’t have a blue checkmark is bullshit,” Elon Musk tweeted. “Power to the people! Blue for $8/month.” Musk says the new price for a checkmark will vary from country-to-country, “proportionate to purchasing power parity.” Users who pay-up will be able to post longer videos and audio clips, Musk said. As well as an ability to bypass paywall with certain publishers.

    VIDEOOn the Morning Joe show, self-styled branding expert Donny Deutsch reacted to the purchase of Twitter by Elon Musk by calling him a jerk who reminded him of a dangerous Bond villain. His characterization of Musk as a "jerk" is ironic since in 2019, MSNBC allowed Deutsch to host his own prime time Saturday night show which was quickly cancelled after just 13 episodes of incredibly LOW ratings because the viewers disapproved of his lousy brand due to being a... jerk.
