Haha.jpg. he's also annoyed because of this:

He had almost that much before he sold a bunch to buy Twitter. Genius.

Just a heads up, you can now join Bluesky without an invite!

Just click on the "Sign Up" button a bit down the page. Unfortunately their marketing and UX leaves a bit to be desired when it comes to making it clear and obvious about this announcement and totally forgot to put a huge button above the fold.

Misery might love company, but bureaucracy doesn't seem to relish bureaucracy.

The social media team at the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) — the second-biggest government agency or department in the country after the military — found out firsthand what it can be like to jump through red tape when its Twitter and Facebook accounts were temporarily blocked several times in recent years for various reasons, including a decision by Twitter that the CRA was underage.

Civil servants had to navigate the social media juggernauts' client-service maze, which included requests for copies of personal ID or phone bills, in order to restore account access.

The CRA's English-language account on Twitter (now formally called X) has 260,000 followers and tweets on average eight to nine times a day; on Facebook, the agency has 136,000 followers for its English-language page. CRA uses both accounts to send out such information as tax deadlines, instructions on how to claim credits and warnings about the latest scams.

Ahahahaha!!!! I dont even know what to say about this.

Anyone still using Xitter should make sure and turn on the off by default enhanced call privacy feature otherwise it's leaking your IP address:

And turning on enhanced privacy might just expose your call to Musk since it doesn't say if anything is encrypted.

His debacle with Don Lemon should be the nail in the coffin for those who subscribe to Musk's brand of free speech absolutism and just what X is supposed to be.

Should, won't.

Listened to Lemon's interview with Kara Swisher on Pivot this morning, from Lemon's point of view the interview won't be anything crazy, he didn't push Musk because of how sensitive he is but he still wasn't triggered and cancelled their X deal. Said people will be surprised how non explosive it is.

The entire contract was only for a few Twitter/X exclusive segments for Don Lemon's new show. What a little worm Elon is.

Don Lemon just keeps getting cancelled left, right and center. Maybe he should into a new career.

The fact that that's your takeaway from this shows how much of a muppet you are.
