@hallmarc They've failed to stand up to Elon so far on moderation policies, so they just might.

But former twitter owner Jack Dorsey rushed out to praise Elon's idiotic move. He seems to be as fascistic as Elon. He just had the business sense not to let things get so totally out of hand.

@LiberalLibrarian I always liked that exchange with the Romulan captain.

@LiberalLibrarian And Hitler asks for lenience because he likes children and dogs.

So Elon's plan to remove the block function from twitter apparently violates the terms of service of both the Google and Apple app stores, which require social media apps to have such a feature.

Odds are high that Elon's tweeted ("Xed"?) announcement won't be followed through.

@LiberalLibrarian Ron's idea of "moving on" is "you surrender to everything I want and we'll call it even."

@MPCavalier @LiberalLibrarian He was obviously in the pay of Big Shipwreck.

So Newt told Charlie Kirk that he'd heard (via "hearsay") that Biden ordered Willis to indict "Trump" when she did to distract from the R "exposure" of Weiss's corruption in the Hunter case.

Bartiromo, I gather, today presented this as fact.

The right-wing "news" cycle in all its glory.

@LiberalLibrarian Nice. Should work well.

@LiberalLibrarian Yup, they're perfect for that. I might get one myself before too long, rather than another tablet with a separate bluetooth keyboard.

@LiberalLibrarian Yeah, Chromebooks are good for web use. If you don't Windows programs, they do pretty much what an Android tablet does.

I still use twitter (and still call it twitter because WTF is "X")... but if Musk actually goes ahead and does this, I will no longer use the site.

There is no possible reason for such a move except to empower trolls and abusers - people Musk has declared are "fun."

@hallmarc @LiberalLibrarian Even Rudy's guy who originally "found it" said there was a lot of stuff later "on it" that wasn't there when he saw it.

@LiberalLibrarian Well, yes. That is the invariable fallback.

@LiberalLibrarian There are few things the professional "DO SOMETHING" crowd like less than something actually being done. Then what do they do?

@Helical_Code Which of course is why sane viewers might well have thought it WAS a typo.

You've just gotta love this chyron. Seriously.

@LiberalLibrarian And he just said he won't debate because no one else is worthy of his time and he's already sewn up the nomination anyway.

(The latter is probably true, the R party being the morass it is.)

@LiberalLibrarian The cult leader of millions is only semi-literate.
