I'm sorry, but as apparently the only person on the planet with the superpower known as "pattern recognition", I have to ask:

Y'all know it's gonna turn out Elon has absolutely, like I mean deadass a THOUSAND percent, been fucking kids, right?

In the last two days, Musk has lobbed bad faith accusations of supporting or enabling pedophilia or child trafficking against four people who criticized him. This has resulted in these individuals experience mass harassment and even threats.

Here's a thread to break it down.

@Brooklynne84 @lions_by Or even the show title.

[Jacob Vardy @JacobVardy]

@Anarqxista Yeah but i thought it more a Yankee thing. And considered extreme even then.

[Jacob Vardy @JacobVardy]

@sumdepony Well yeah. Private monopolies (~20% market share) are bad.

[Jacob Vardy @JacobVardy]

Idle thought. In re the bird site, what if Musk isn't a terrible businessman? But rather that it is more important to that Apartheid princeling to amplify voices of white supremacy and misogyny?

@artieopteryx @BeauTFC Take one for the team. Burn down the cabin with us all locked inside.

@BeauTFC Plz help! How do i spoil Thanksgiving when my country does not celebrate it?

[Mastodon (@[email protected]) @joinmastodon]

Mastodon has just passed over 2 million active monthly users, a new record! People are voting with their feet. The future of social media doesn't have to belong to a billionaire, it can be in the hands of its users.

I've seen a lot of people asking "why does everyone think Twitter is doomed?"

As an SRE and sysadmin with 10+ years of industry experience, I wanted to write up a few scenarios that are real threats to the integrity of the bird site over the coming weeks.

[Ashton Pittman @ashtonpittman]

THREAD: Twitter has been vital for state and local journalists like myself.

And I want y'all to understand how much small local, state, nonprofit and independent news outlets stand to lose—and what we all stand to lose—if the Bird App dies. 1/

@sumdepony @EggTheow Agreed, to a point. But even such shame does not require forgiveness from survivors. Maybe from g*d, since we're talking about Hell. But even those who preach radical mercy don't require victims to forgive their debtors. That restitution requires repayment.

If every billionaire is a policy failure, should Musk be awarded Hero of Socialist Labour if he decreases the number of billionaires (by bankrupting him
self)?

He appears to be putting in a real stakhanovist effort.

we criticize hollywood for lazy tropes but our two main antagonists right now is a former kgb agent with a penchant for poisoning and an emerald mine heir who wants to live on mars. if these were bond villains they’d be dismissed as caricature
