Notably boring. Tech stuff. Average white dude.

@DaveShah @WestParkRunner Humorously, they showed a different angle on the broadcast, where it happens right in front of the ref, and he's looking right at them... Insane

[Matt Fousek @mattfousek]

Pretty sure it was just Musk needing another layer of approval...

[Vaush 📺 @VaushV]

Did anyone - literally any person besides Elon Musk - want view counts under every tweet? Was this ENTIRELY to make the site feel more active in a way that just detracts from the user experience?

[Matt Fousek @mattfousek]

Or he means "any more stock" because he just dumped 10 billion.

[Brianna Wu @BriannaWu]

This is a lie to hype the stock.

The quote was “I’m not selling any $tsla shares under any circumstances next year and probably the following year too. Probably won’t sell any more stock until 2025.”

None of this is binding, legally. Musk can do as he wishes.

@odonnell004 @everywhereist @fegug @ivancedric_a I'm pretty sure no one in the last two generations understands 2nd cousins versus once removed, etc... Seems like Irish American families were all about it, though

[Matt Fousek @mattfousek]

@mfloryan I see... I was thinking about it in the wrong direction. My apologies.

[Matt Fousek @mattfousek]

Perhaps I'm missing the point of this analogy... But, I don't think this is accurate. If it leaves every two days I need to know roughly when it will leave, so I can plan. Kinda like an airplane. I know the *earliest* it will leave, and that's enough?

[Marcin Floryan 🇺🇦❤️, 🌍 🇪🇺🇸🇪🇵🇱🏳️‍🌈 @mfloryan]

"If the train leaves every 5 minutes you don't care about a timetable. If it leaves every 2 days you want to know *exactly* when it leaves"
Great analogy from @hamrin reflecting on planning, estimating and software delivery.

The Kremlin

[Matt Wallace @MattWallace888]

Guess where Elon Musk is moving Twitter HQ!!!

[Matt Fousek @mattfousek]

Constitutional conservatives, they say...

[Matt Wallace @MattWallace888]

Would you support Elon Musk if he ran for president?

[Matt Fousek @mattfousek]

You could just skip to the end. We know Space Karen is going to win

[Matt Fousek @mattfousek]

Why did reading this hurt so much?

[Matt Fousek @mattfousek]

I believe the "correct" measure is if the teams say agile-y stuff while not changing the process at all. We spent a million dollars, it can't not be successful.

[Ryan Ripley ☧ @ryanripley]

How do you measure the success of an #agile transformation?

[Matt Fousek @mattfousek]

@odonnell004 This is kinda what I meant, but better said

[Matt Fousek @mattfousek]

I wonder, if we ever fixed healthcare in the US, if we wouldn't see life expectancy gains for a generation, because people have been trained to avoid seeking healthcare due to the cost

[Matt Fousek @mattfousek]

Your weird nationalism about a sport most US natives don't care about is obviously the same as any commentary about this country...

[Three Year Letterman @3YearLetterman]

How it started/How it’s going

[Matt Fousek @mattfousek]

"censored" != "chose not to do business with"

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Who else has Apple censored?

[Matt Fousek @mattfousek]

Right-wing in 2010: Corporations have the same free speech rights
Right-wing in 2022: not like that!!

[Geraldine Just Follow TheEverywhereist on Threads @everywhereist]

I don't know how many times I have to say this, but companies deciding where to spend their ad dollars IS an exercise of free speech.

[Matt Fousek @mattfousek]

Not for nothing, but I think "won't tell us why" translates to "might be violating the TOS" But I guess we only hear what we want to hear...

[Matt Fousek @mattfousek]

I think we should call Bloody Marys "vodka gazpacho" from now on. That sounds way better than "I'm getting drunk at 8 in the morning"

[awalmartparkinglot ✨🪩🕺🏼🖤 @awalmartparking]

I think people who “like” bloody Mary’s are lying

Cold vodka tomato soup? Let’s be serious

[Matt Fousek @mattfousek]

I've never actually played. But my Canadian step-father insists this was normal bowling when he was a kid

[follow @bencollins on bluesky @oneunderscore__]

Here’s the other hidden grotesque thing about Massachusetts: candlepin bowling.

I didn’t go actual bowling — what we call “big ball bowling” in this hellscape — until I was 18.

This is all we had. It’s absurdly hard. You get 3 rolls and 100 is a great score. It’s raw pain.

[Matt Fousek @mattfousek]

This is not shitty.

[Sam Comerford @RRollplaying]

Shitty Character Idea:

A hexblade warlock who is actually a lumberjack who has pledged themself to their sentient axe. The axe wants to cut down the biggest tree in existence—the tree of life—just to say that it can. #DnD
