That anger you felt on Twitter? It was intentionally fomented by an algorithm to keep you clicking, emotionally manipulating you to sell more ads. It didn't stay there either. It seeped into your life, poisoning you and your interactions in ways you didn't realize.
There's none of that here. Give it a few days, and you'll see. #CoSoRocks

Trump tweeted: “This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy!”
No, that isn’t from two years ago. It’s from a decade ago, November 7, 2012.
He’s been into unsupportable conspiracy theories for a long time.

Elon goes hardcore: After demanding the remaining Twitter employees pledge their loyalty, Musk's product priorities are coming into focus, by @CaseyNewton https://open.substack.com/pub/platformer/p/elon-goes-hardcore
I autoblock all porn with extreme alacrity. I autoblock ugly porn at light speed. I mean, dayum. I'm going to be having nightmares for weeks now. Put some clothes on.
So much for the idea that if things go bust Elon Musk would sell Twitter's user data for pennies on the dollar. It appears that he doesn't understand Twitter architecture well enough to do that by himself, and he's all that's left.
