Apparently it is only "barely" profitable?

Huh? That is interesting. An informational monopoly...and one would think it makes a good money due to that.

I'm just enjoying all the meltdowns and people freaking out.

**** all those woke weirdos. If they're that thin-skinned that losing their little cancel culture echo chamber makes them have literal panic attacks, let the bodies hit the floor. It's their own fault for choosing to stay.

This is the internet, you either grow spine or log off.

All the marks on the comments sections of every wrestling site are shocked that apparently, Mick Foley (and others) Just Now realized that Twitter's a f*cking cesspool and nobody should use it. Like, THIS is what it takes to make one realize? COME ON.

"I'm quitting Twitter!" is gonna be 2022's version of "I'm moving to Canada!" Especially in that 99% won't follow through and the 1% who do won't be missed.

[Andrew NDB]

Yeah, it's pretty amusing right now. A bunch of people on my timeline are trying to rally others and starting their own Twitter, where they can still be safe.

[Leo656]

I'd chip in two bucks for 'em to do that IF they promise to call it "Echo Chamber". Just avoid all pretense completely, y'know?

I'm downstairs taking a sh*t, and the WHOLE time, the in-laws are watching MSNBC and ranting and raving about how Musk is a "f*cking asshole", "moron" and "scumbag" because "He's gonna let Trump back on Twitter!" So loud I can hear them with the door closed as if they were standing right next to me.

24/7 Trump with these types of Libbies. People say "Trump Derangement Syndrome" isn't real, when you've got people STILL ranting and raving about him for anything and everything even YEARS after he's ceased being relevant? Goodness gracious. I can't imagine what it's like having someone in your head rent-free 24/7 like that.

Thanks, Obama. It's YOUR fault we're stuck with these snowflakes.

As I said in another thread: it is incredibly amusing, how people who pride themselves on being so much smarter and mature, than opposition, can't handle defeat. Or just people saying: "No", to them.

It is behavior of generic abusers, not people "on the right side of history".

Well my account won't seem any different, I just like to follow my interests there. Seems premature for people to abandon ship before seeing how things go but that's up to them.

[Leo656]

They're exposing who they really are. "People I don't agree with get to have a voice? Well *I* certainly won't patronize any place that allows nonsense like THAT!"

[Andrew NDB]

And while I'm sure Trump's account will get unbanned (and why wouldn't it? he didn't do anything, and they've got major figures preaching actual genocide that they practice in the middle east and they're still on there) he's already said he won't. He's going to stick to this new "Truth Social" platform. Which at the moment isn't much of anything and I can't even look at it. You can only get on it if you have an iPhone (not Android) and there is no desktop version at the moment.

I kind of hope he just makes one new tweet, though. Even just a winky face. Just to drive them wild.

I mean, I stay in the top half of the house, mostly. But when I go downstairs, they're watching MSNBC, and some talking head is talking about Musk and Twitter and how Musk says "It's about free speech". And they LOSE THEIR SH*T.

A sampling from earlier, and I'll remind you, These Are Quotes from "Good, Loyal, Democrats":

"Yeah, RIGHT. 'Freedom of speech', what a f*cking asshole! For people like TRUMP? BULLSH*T! You don't give people like THAT 'freedom of speech', that's ridiculous!"
"Exactly! People like Trump belong in f*cking JAIL, not on f*cking Twitter!"
"No, he should be shot in the f*cking FACE, jail's too f*cking good for him."
"Even better. Piece of sh*t."
"Give me the gun, I'll f*cking do it. I'd do it right now."
"Yeah, instead they're gonna let him back on Twitter, so he can spew more toxic hate speech crap!"
"F*ck it, throw Musk in jail, too, then. Asshole."
"Well of COURSE one rich c*cksucker is gonna stick up for another rich c*cksucker, that's what they DO. F*cking morons."
"Shoot 'em both, f*ck it. You stick up for Dump, you DESERVE to get shot in the f*cking head."
"People like that shouldn't even be allowed to TALK, period, let alone have millions of people listening to it and following it and any of that bullsh*t. HOW can he not SEE that?"
"Because he's a f*cking idiot. F*ck both of 'em. Assholes."

There's more, but a lot of it tends to repeat after a while.

Oh, and for comparison sake, here's some tasty bits from an hour before that, when they were talking about Laura Ingraham, who I know absolutely nothing about as a person, only know from occasionally seeing her face, and whose name I had to look up just now. Anyway, here's what these Arbiters Of Acceptable Speech were saying about her an hour before the Musk/Trump meltdown:

"That woman is such a lying c*nt."
"I swear she's gotta be a man."
"((Laughs)) Yeah, one'a them whattyacallem, transgender-whatever."
"Has to be."
"Or a closet lesbian."
"Yeah, a bulldyke, they call 'em. No man would ever have her, I mean why would they?"
"Ugly, lying bitch. Someone ought'a lock HER up, too."
"Then she could get with all the other ugly bulldykes, she'd LOVE that I bet! ((Laughs))"

Again... These are Actual Words spoken Just Today by a pair of people who ONLY vote Democrat, outspokenly hate Donald Trump and every single Republican, and sincerely think they're The Good Guys. And furthermore, people who are flipping out over Musk buying Twitter because "He's going to let people like Trump say mean things."

Breathe it in. Just really let it sink in deep.

On a related note, I've seen a sudden uptick in the past 2 years of people in the acting industry in Seattle suddenly dropping dead of heart attacks. All TDS types. Post-a-day and all. Fine one day and bam, there's a relative posting about their fatal heart attack the next day.

Typical quotes for hate filled racist democrats.... but we're (the non democrats) the dangerous a$$holes...

Musk promises to unban Trump.
SJWs are about to become mush.
