@MikeBinderjokes Nice. And I mean, thank *you*

[Bert Gambit @complexifire]

great thread, incredibly timely for me

[Mike Binder @MikeBinderjokes]

1/ It's 1985.
I just did stand-up on David Letterman the night before. Five minutes. I'm 27 years old and I think I've made it.
My agent calls me the next day and fires me.

Everyone with savings in ETFs that track the NASDAQ should be outraged about this. The world’s richest man is putting his hand into millions of ordinary people’s pockets

Wish I remembered exactly what the others were but beyond Tesla I think there were some silly fanboy accounts. Not remotely good suggestions, but easier to file under “predictable Musk narcissism”

[Bert Gambit @complexifire]

Recently created my first new account here in many years, and Massimo was one of the 10-15 accounts suggested to new users to follow at account creation, alongside several Musk-related accounts and probably NYT etc. Massimo was the one that stood out, like “really?”

@Rainmaker1973 After sourcing 2759 videos from @ViralRushX over the last 6 months, you're now circumventing attribution by simply cropping out his watermark?

You cannot get more shameless than this. This is your last day in the creator program.

[Bert Gambit @complexifire]

no way to know if anything good will come of it, any time soon, but this story is a reminder it can, and you’re not helping anything by “buying it”

[Mike Binder @MikeBinderjokes]

6/ That night I did a set at The Comedy Store. Got high. Got drunk. Told my friends what Marty had done.
Told them how wrong he was about me.
They either bought it or they weren't as brave as Marty was to tell me the truth.

@DistractedAnna @ZaidJilani yards are quite valuable actually

I posted this 5.5 years ago. It's still true. If an arsonist starts a fire they don't get credit for calling the fire department.

[Bert Gambit @complexifire]

@madeofmistak3 Is that why you have more replies than the vote count? I was wondering why I was the only person who chose the protein + starch combination that would make your body feel totally normal

I almost never ask for a RT, but if you wouldn’t mind taking a look at this interview I did, and think it’s not so bad — please share!

@HistoryBoomer if he were sockpuppeting his dad, who rarely tweets (last non-reply almost a year ago) and has under 7000 followers... would he let that account not have a blue check?

[Bert Gambit @complexifire]

@HistoryBoomer yeah, I call this Occam's Krazy Glue: explaining 1 odd thing by combining multiple things that don't even make more sense individually, and also contradict each other:
1) sockpuppeted his mom (who's been tweeting mom stuff since 2008)
2) but thought he was sockpuppeting his dad

[Bert Gambit @complexifire]

I’m going to hold you personally responsible if we see another one of these

[Bert Gambit @complexifire]

@no_earthquake It does look like Grok just answered the question instead of translating it. DK why this particular post would make it glitch out and short circuit its translation system prompt, though, if that’s not a common problem. Surely it translates thousands or millions of questions a day

[Bert Gambit @complexifire]

@clifford_banes something about how a single stick is strongest I think, because there are probably weak sticks next to you if there’s a bundle

[Bert Gambit @complexifire]

@huzzahmpls @trumwill Why couldn’t they write the story and get it to the physical printing press in negative two hours while drunk and under lockdown, tho

[Bert Gambit @complexifire]

@hillsandgin I would have said a satyr but he’s probably that too
