I must say I'm really sad to hear that Jason Alexander is is leaving Twitter over this blue check drama. Because of my sadness, I asked ChatGPT to write a Seinfeld script about @ElonMusk taking away George Costanza's blue check.
Here is what it gave me: [Scene: Monk's Cafe]
Jerry: Hey, what's the matter with you?
George: [sighs] It's Twitter, Jerry. Elon Musk took away my blue check mark.
Jerry: Your what?
George: My blue check mark, Jerry. It's like a badge of honor. It means you're verified. It means you're somebody.
Jerry: And Elon Musk took it away? How did that happen?
George: I don't know. I guess I said something he didn't like. But now everyone on Twitter thinks I'm a nobody.
Jerry: You know, George, you can live without Twitter. Nobody's life was ever changed by a blue check mark.
George: [defeated] I know, I know. But I just can't help feeling like I'm less of a person now.
Elaine: [enters] Hey guys, what's going on?
Jerry: George lost his blue check mark on Twitter.
Elaine: [sarcastically] Oh no, how will you ever survive?
George: [exasperated] Very funny, Elaine.
Elaine: [serious] Look, George, you don't need validation from Twitter. You're still the same person, blue check mark or not.
George: [nodding] You're right. Maybe it's time for me to take a break from social media.
Jerry: [jokingly] Or you could try to get your blue check mark back.
George: [shakes his head] No, I'm done with Twitter. I'm gonna focus on being a real person, in the real world. [They all smile and clink their coffee cups]
Jerry: [smiling] That's the spirit, George.
[End scene]
For the record, I must say I'm a huge Seinfeld fan!
After more than three months of witnessing @dannymichelmusic ‘s performance at @kitchenerlibrary, I still have one of his songs “Dont be so hard on yourself” as my mantra for the year 2023. Thank you @sidedoor.access for this wonderful event just before the holiday season.
