@Teri_Kanefield Judd Legum did a related thread about this using a similar case precedent: https://journa.host/@juddlegum/110142983688010800

"For the journalists who have come to rely on it, there is almost no indignity they won’t suffer to get their fix. ... The company was symbolically shitting all over them, and journalists couldn’t get enough" https://www.platformer.news/p/why-journalists-cant-quit-twitter @caseynewton

The Twitter takeover shouldn't just dispel the myth of Musk being a genius, it should dispel the myth of him even being able to run a business at all. Guy only became aware of legal action against his own company after the authorities gave up trying to contact him, the story made it to the mainstream media, then several days later an account on his platform dedicated to reporting news about his platform saw the story and reposted it.
@chancerydaily Also, what would even be the symbolism of his face being a fingerprint? That doesn't make sense.
@chancerydaily It looks like one disembodied feature of his face that's been heavily abstracted, but no, I don't see the whole face.
@chancerydaily It must be, because I find it incomprehensible.

@arossp Is it still "toxic" masculinity if the only one hurt is bud light?
PSA for fellow white men:
The only time you're able to pull off a mustache-only facial hairstyle is when you're a highway patrolman or a fireman. If you're not either of those things, then you're not pulling it off and your face looks weird.
@CDunnPasadena @ravenonthill @briannawu Both sides have their fair share of voters who won't ever vote for the other side. It's much more about heritage than media. You won't ever convince them to vote for the other side, but you can sometimes convince them to stay home.

Schedule of today's events:
1:00 pm: Trump surrenders at Manhattan DA office.
2:15 pm: Trump brought to Judge Merchan's courtroom for arraignment, unsealing of charges.
2:27pm: Trump enters "not guilty" pleas to each count.
2:31pm: Distraction from smoke bomb in back of courtroom
2:32pm: Trump leaps from courtroom window into mattress truck waiting on side street in dramatic escape.
2:35pm: Mayor Adams calls Batman.
@nus Seems unlikely. If he was going to do that, he'd have cut a deal instead of being indicted and charged.
@GottaLaff @captainsmartass You didn't use quotation marks.
@captainsmartass @GottaLaff Agreed. This is a gross misrepresentation.
Those of us who oppose actual fascism don't appreciate the crying of "wolf".
@ravenonthill @briannawu I can tell you right now that his legend has spread across the nation in the Republican party.
And I say "his legend" for a reason. None of the facts have propagated. They don't know anything he's actually done. They just know him as a "fighter for conservatism" who pisses off libs and isn't quite as much of a screw-up as Trump, and that's enough for them.
@dangillmor @juddlegum Wait, we're supposed to start worrying about third party candidates now? Lol.

Just 🔥 from @davekarpf https://davekarpf.substack.com/p/elon-needs-professional-help?sd=pf
"The guy can’t work out the logistics of removing verification badges, who wants to put him in charge of their oxygen supply? ...
"These are not special geniuses, bending the world in accordance with their reality-distortion fields. They’re just self-congratulatory rich guys, buying and breaking expensive toys and then blaming the media or the government."
Politics, police violence
That's one helluva lede:
"Roy McGrath, the fugitive ex-chief of staff for former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, was fatally shot in Tennessee, according to his attorney Joseph Murtha."

Sexual references
Okay, not gonna lie, "German Sex Industry Penis Ritual Leaked" is one of the better spam email subject lines I've ever received.
My morbid curiosity about what insanity could possibly lie within almost got the better of my IT training.

Communique for #BlackMastodon and Black folk only:
(White folk can listen too if they want, but this conversation is not for them).
The people telling you to be very afraid of Artificial General Intelligence don't know what they're talking about. Remember, their last big predictions were:
* Monkey jpegs are now money. Buy crypto.
* Elon will be great for Twitter
* Listening to VCs talk on Clubhouse is the next big social network
* Adam Neuman is a genius, and we should give him more money
