What Elon Musk’s Salute Was All About A gesture associated with the Nazis has a surprising history. But in Germany, there was little doubt about its meaning.

Hey Sam

I remember when we first got Facebook in college and had to go out to the bar to get away from it. Then MySpace, Twitter, which is now a shell of itself. IG, Snap, Threads and so many in between. Each new one (including BS) feels more siloed and less fun. Anyway here’s a story I did!! (Jk)

This is very funny and seems accurate. I guess social media is kind of middle aged as a concept. I feel silly setting up shop on another platform. How many more??
