Yeah, MICK. Surely you have footage of yourself engaging in wingnut performance art by shouting obscenities at a minimum wage convenience store clerk about tyranny and/or what is or is not a "law." If you don't have such footage, you're a terrible American, even for an Englishman.

There is more than a little Schadenfreude over the suffering of libtard fuckheads who literally were dancing in the streets with Schadenfreude over their victims for several years.
That's an extremely convoluted sentence, and I apologize.

Cracks are starting to show on Twitter as users have begun to post entire movies on the platform, with many yet to be taken down. A sign that the social media giant's copyright violation policy is not properly being enforced.
Maybe someone should tell the genius that the story of Gail Wynand publishing the New York Banner aided only by his wife/Howard Roark's fuck toy Dominique Francone after the employees go on strike is a work of fiction.
Too much fun to watch and lol at.

The only downside is so many people still announcing how they are leaving, but keep posting about it over and over.
The irony of using Twitter to announce how Twitter is broken is beyond any parody possible to imagine

So now the woke are upset that the corporate overlords aren't able to police everything?

I think it's still pretty much "Twitter is awful, here is my tweet showing this to be true"

Advertisers pulling out of Twitter as the platform remains unstable under Elon Musk’s leadership have many reasons to be concerned about brand safety, Reuters reported.
Major brands pausing advertising include Audi of America, United Airlines, General Mills, General Motors, Volkswagen, Modelez International (which makes popular products like Oreos), and Omnicon (which manages advertising for brands like McDonalds and Apple). Beyond the damage of brand impersonations through the Twitter Blue paid verification scandal, spokespersons for these groups have pointed to increases in hate speech on the platform and cuts to Twitter support staff as most worrying.
“We felt there is a risk our advertising would appear next to the wrong messages," Mondelez CEO Dirk Van de Put told Reuters.
The owner of Hite Digital, a Miami ad agency that manages campaigns for major brands, Molly Lopez, confirmed to Ars that it’s not just brand safety that led her to direct all 18 of her clients to pause Twitter ad spending this morning. As Musk continues with layoffs and firings of Twitter staff, she’s also concerned about cybersecurity issues and lack of Twitter support, realizing that there’s likely fewer employees looking after common advertiser issues.
“I am very confident that bad actors, whether they be foreign or domestic, are absolutely looking to capitalize on the fact that one of the biggest technology companies in the world potentially has lost more than half of its current workforce overnight,” Lopez told Ars.
Why doesn't Musk just show them all the screenshots of salient code he's collected?
People tweeting on twitter about the demise of twitter has shown that twitter has a niche in the social internet and some legitimate uses (I’ve realized the one thing I do use twitter for is current announcements from companies/services) which makes the whole ‘move fast, break things’ style of managing even more moronic.
At the moment the only special thing about Twitter is that you can watch the real time breakdown of the richest man in the world, and that’s not really an innovation. FF could have slammed servers tomorrow if we promised and delivered on new members getting to watch Jeff Bezos have a mental breakdown while arguing with Obey.
Firing requires a breach of a term in the employee's contract. Even then 2 written warnings are expected. You can lay people off. That requires notice and compensation by local law and written documentation submitted to local governments explaining why the layoffs are necessary.

I take it you think Musk is going to be on Mars soon, eh?
As it is, the debt he took on to buy Twitter is being sold for 60 cents on the dollar, which indicates he's taken a pretty massive loss already.
He's lost a bunch of advertisers, and $8 subscription fees are not anything close to making it up.
And he bought it for way more than it was worth.
And the thing is, Musk basically admits that he fucked up - that's why he spent months trying to get out of the deal! All the bloviating is just covering for the fact that he bought it for significantly more than it was worth and now owes $1 billion in loan payments every year despite the fact that Twitter hasn't been profitable in the first place. Nothing he's done has any hint of boosting Twitter's revenue by enough to turn a profit, much less after accounting for the loan payments.
People confidently predicting imminent (within days) collapse were wrong, but that doesn't mean everything is going great. Declaring victory after literally just a couple weeks or so is also absurdly overconfident.
It reminds me a little bit of Brexit.
Some people did go over the top in predicting an immediate British economy meltdown after Brexit. It didn't happen.
But anyone who was doing an "I told you so" dance when that collapse didn't materialize hasn't been vindicated. There's a reason that current polls have Britons saying by a ~20 pt margin that Brexit was a mistake.
What I wonder is if you'd be willing to actually stake any position on what would be failure for Musk. It seems to me that even if Twitter goes down you'll be talking about his genius.
ETA: Also surprise, you're a fan of a white nationalist web comic. Go figure.
That comic baffles me in multiple ways, did Musk loss both arms in the twitter deal? Did a hot air balloon travel through space? How is there a fire on mars? did we Terraform mars and Musk has sealed himself in a bubble, alone?
I understand everyone is having fun making fun of Twitter right now and I don't want to tone police but PLEASE remember to also make fun of the crypto crash happening right now as well.

. It's not a Stonetoss comic, but to explain it would be complicated.
And it seems a link to the explanation is not allowed here
now that shit is fucking hilarious
I chopped it up to bypass the auto censor here
