More media fear-mongering that makes you piss your pants? You shouldn't have.

No, I mean it. You really, REALLY shouldn't have. I'm running out of underpants.

Wearying. I think I'll sneak off to Mexico or something.

Pissing off advertisers is not a great business strategy. It's not that their feelings are hurt, it's that ads for Pepsi and Apple were showing up next to neo-Nazi posts, giving users the impression that the advertisers actively endorse the posts. People generally don't like being associated with Nazis. Maybe you're comfortable with that association (if so, seek help), but most of us aren't down with genocidal maniacs who want to purge the world of non-white citizens and rule with an iron fist. I know, we're funny that way, not wanting to endorse and spread the sentiments of mass murderers.

Bad news for Elon is always good news for me.

Hold it in place, Tim, and I'll get my hammer.

Fire photon torpedoes!

This son of a bitch has been talking a lot of shit lately. Of course, when he says "this group must be murdered," and "that group must be murdered," he'll have his kill-billy followers do the job for him while he huddles in the corner pissing his pants. At least Richard Spencer, for all his grotesqueness, could take a punch. This... thing can't even do that.

Take that, turkey! Looks like you took Allah the punishment yourself!

"Ooooooh, yeah! It's time for BONE SAW!"

Because he's stubborn, and vain, and also stupid. Losing Twitter to bankruptcy is likely to be one of those great historic failures in consumer tech history, like the IBM PC Jr. and the CueCat from Radio Shack and that Mixer thing from Microsoft. Once the history books are written, it's going to be right there in black and white, without spin from Musk. "Elon Musk ruined this once successful social media platform with one wrongheaded, self-serving decision after another. He's the New Coke of IT." Once it happens, he can't claw it back. History will have judged him, and the verdict is "guilty by reason of being a dumbass."

Elon wants to stave that failure off for as long as possible, but it's gonna happen, mon ami. The longer you wait, the more painful the bruise from your massive tech blunder is gonna get. You can either make this a noble failure, like the ambitious but outrageously expensive 3DO, or it can go down in flames like the Atari Jaguar. Actually, it's probably way too late for Twitter to become a noble failure. Musk could at least make it a less humiliating one.

A chatbot that needs to mind its own damn business, I say.

You can tell just from the sound of the pee that it's small.

You're not motivated to pay them fair wages either, so hey.

Go have a charged lemonade on me, Cue Ball. In fact, have three... I think that's the lethal dose.

Turds of a feather...

Ow ow ow ow OW! I'm bleeding internally™!

Unfortunately, the vast storehouse of information on Reddit makes it impossible to remove it from your life completely. Of course, a lot of that was built up before the douchebag decided to kill third party apps and tell Reddit users that they didn't really matter that much to him. You mean the people whose comments built your site brick by brick? Okay, sure. Why would they be important?

If I'm that unimportant to you, I can be unimportant elsewhere.

Hey, I'm over here in Methadone Reddit, getting by. It's not as fun as Reddit used to be, but after the bug-eyed lemur boy decided to be a leading tech giant(tm) and fuck over his users in the process, I decided it was time to amscray. Sorry, King Julien. It was fun for a while, before your embarrassing power trip, but now you're just going to have to kiss my mad-ass-gasgar.

After my impromptu poll of exactly one, I determined that I will not be returning to the shithead's shithole social network.

In other words, a lobbying group.

The theft was coming from retailers. Raising prices without raising the cost of living accordingly isn't inflation; it's exploitation.
