As this unbearable douchebag illustrates, previous Twitter was a far left propaganda machine.
Now we even have free speech.

Is that this man even Jewish?
Who would say one thing like this?
Elon Musk ought to face “private sanctions” and even the specter of an “arrest warrant” if discovered to be stirring up public dysfunction on his social media platform, a former Twitter govt has stated.It can’t be proper that the billionaire proprietor of X, and different tech executives, be allowed to sow discord with out private dangers, Bruce Daisley, previously Twitter’s vice-president for Europe, Center East and Africa, writes within the Guardian.

He stated the prime minister, Keir Starmer, ought to “beef up” on-line security legal guidelines and replicate on whether or not the media regulator, Ofcom, “is match to take care of the blurringly quick actions of the likes of Musk”.
Elon Musk is a number of issues, however “blurringly quick” is just not a type of issues.
That isn’t even a fats joke. The man is severely sluggish.
Fats guys may be blurringly quick.
Elon Musk simply isn’t one in every of them.
Elon Musk doesn’t even perceive Diablo 4 builds. He’s sluggish.
(Additionally, I don’t even know what which means on this context.)
“In my expertise, that risk of non-public sanction is far more efficient on executives than the chance of company fines,” Daisley writes, arguing such sanctions might impression the jet-setting existence of tech billionaires.The UK authorities has referred to as on social media platforms to behave responsibly after violent unrest swept via the UK following the deadly stabbing of three younger women at a Taylor Swift-themed vacation dance class in Southport final month. The prime minister has blamed social media firms for permitting the unfold of false claims that the attacker was an asylum seeker and police are more and more going after these suspected of utilizing on-line posts to incite violence.
In a single submit, Musk wrote: “civil conflict is inevitable” within the UK, language that the justice minister, Heidi Alexander, described as “unacceptable”. Musk has referred to as Starmer “two-tier Keir” and a “hypocrite” over his method to policing. Musk additionally shared a false submit suggesting Starmer was planning to arrange “detainment camps” within the Falkland Islands, a submit he later deleted.

Daisley says: “The query we’re introduced with is whether or not we’re keen to permit a billionaire oligarch to camp off the UK shoreline and take potshots at our society. The concept a boycott – whether or not by high-profile customers or advertisers – must be our solely sanction is clearly not significant.”He continues: “Within the quick time period, Musk and fellow executives must be reminded of their legal legal responsibility for his or her actions below present legal guidelines. Britain’s On-line Security Act 2023 must be beefed up with rapid impact.”
Yeah, Elon says some stuff. But it surely’s actually the identical stuff that everybody says.
It’s very unusual to have folks publicly calling for folks to be arrested in America for edgy posts. Even when they have been edgy. And so they’re not edgy.
Why would the Guardian even publish this form of factor? Nobody even is aware of who this man is. “Former Twitter exec” seems to not be Jack Dorsey or that fats Indian lady, however the “vice chairman for Europe, Center East and Africa” (no matter that’s), who nobody has ever heard of, and the Guardian publishes the op-ed then writes a information story about it.
All types of individuals say every kind of silly issues on a regular basis. The media ought to have some form of filter on what’s and isn’t information, no?

I ask that as a query as a result of I can’t keep in mind if I wrote about it or not.
It’s been a busy few weeks.
I’ve been attempting to solicit donations and I’ve began speaking to folks on the telephone for $500 an hour. Which may look like some huge cash to some folks, however on this context, it truly isn’t, as a result of I work on this website all day mainly totally free. Anyway, almost about that: for those who despatched cash and I by no means talked to you, simply pester me on the messenger. I’ll make certain everybody will get on the telephone with me, I promise. I imply, everybody who pays. I didn’t actually notice how many individuals would take me up on this supply.
Additionally, to be clear: you’re allowed to pay greater than $500. That’s extra of a “advised minimal.”
Anyway, I’m additionally cleansing up my midlife disaster, engaged on some facet tasks that I believe are essential (and in addition a part of my midlife disaster). Plus, I used to be by no means in a position to keep in mind stuff I wrote per week in the past.
Oh, and sure, I do know it’s Monday, and I’m imagined to submit memes, however it’s already nearly 2PM EST at time of writing, and I need to submit it within the morning.
However yeah, to get again to the factor: calling for the extradition of Elon Musk for tweets, calling for his imprisonment – that is Covid-level lunacy.
It’s this sort of vitality:
And, fairly frankly, the world is at the moment feeling this sort of vitality:
It’s an entire different vibe.
