"Twitter is the PvP of social media."

That's what Elon Musk said last night.

If you're not a gamer, "PvP" means "Player vs. Player" -- and it denotes shooting games where the goal is to destroy your opponent.

Think the online versions Halo or Call of Duty -- that's the jist.

PvP is Elon Musk's vision for Twitter -- that's what he wants it to become.

Think it was bad before? Twitter will become more combative, more divisive, more driven by rage.

PvP is the future of Twitter.

It was $3.47 for a tiny can of pickled jalapeños, so I said to myself, “Fuck that shit.”

Got me a box of peppers and now I’m pickling my own for the same price for 4 times as much.

Every moment that we're not on the night blimp to Zanzibar is a moment wasted.

Panning right to left and using a slow shutter speed I used intentional camera movement to create an ethereal abstract image of the sunset. The location is Fort Macon State Park, Atlantic Beach,, North Carolina.

I would like to think so, but... Rednecks in the north, Cubans in the South, both of whose demographics have been gaslighted by the right for a very long time.

@JenWojcik
Maybe... But I'm afraid the Republicans' true goal for a long time has been to destroy public education. Would they even care? Their kids go to private school.

I think teachers in Florida should basically just give up. Show movies every day or whatever. Better yet, strike. Total strike until every parent in the whole state is screaming bloody murder.

One of my favourite US national parks is Death Valley. To my knowledge, it holds the record for the hottest place in North America, and I chose to go there one July - probably the hottest month of the year. Here's a panoramic shot of Dante's View.

F*ck DeSantis & his racist Jim Crow anti factual black history education agenda.

wow. this was an excellent nap. I drooled on my pillow and I cannot feel both of my arms and I had a dream that should have been a movie. 10/10

I'm going to pretend that the arresting and charging of the police officers is because they want to do the right thing and not because the officers in question this time are African American.

How bad are the details when the 5 Memphis cops who murdered Tyre Nichols are fired, charged, and named

…even before the body cam footage is released?
