I'll have to take your word for it. I dont read them unless they're posted here.

Maybe the Tweeters are doing it as a form of Anti-Musk protest?

What else are they to be called? Exes?

They need to pick a side already. It has been years. It’s X or it’s Twitter. “X formerly known as Twitter” needs to stop.

All the Loomer vs Musk drama is just this alliance falling apart now that it's served its purpose. They got their election result and now that the Democrats are out of the way they can fight each other for control over the government.

They want a system they can exploit. Then there are the true believers, who think their ideological priorities are SO important that anything can be justified in their pursuit. The former don't really care about abortion rights, for example - they just want to use the influence of the people who do really care about that to improve conditions for the increased aggregation of wealth.

The current GOP is essentially now controlled by the wing of people who fall into the ideological side of this alliance, which is why there's even MORE religion at the RNC this year, and why it has less of a "I am a humble man of faith who cares about family and my local church community" tone now and more of a hucksterish, fire-and-brimstone, "GOD HAS PLACED US HERE TO FULFIL HIS DIVINE MISSION" tone. That mission is so important that they are willing to look the other way for the porn star affairs and other similar un-Christ-like behaviour to get to the ends they want. Similarly, the kleptocrats are willing to pretend to adherence to the religious nonsense they don't actually give a crap about to get to their end goal.

I mean, ultimately, Putin isn't a dictator in the sense of being an omnipotent king-like figure, he presides over a complex web of oligarchs that is deliberately set up to leech as much as possible off the Russian public. That's why guys like Thiel make anti-democratic comments, they want to live in that world.

It would appear Elon's ketamine bender is over, he's deleted some of his tweets. But it does feel like the damage is done, a large chunk of the MAGA cult has turned on him.

He is such a weird, weird dude. And things are not going to be better with him over the next few years. Wish he was part of a different timeline, like 400 years from now.

He's a narcissist and is desperate for people to pay attention to him and tell him how awesome he is. He's a moron who has made bank based on vibes (rarely delivered on), taking credit for other people's work, and abusing people along the way.

He is NOT a smart man. He gets basic things completely wrong all the time and he has cultivated a story of being a genius who's irrational behaviour is explained by "autism."

I honestly can't wait for his inevitable downfall.
