"wow you blocked me just cuz I disagreed with you???" yes. Yes, exactly. This is a social media site. I come here to look at pictures of birds and shit post with my friends. This is not a town hall merging; I am not your elected official. I do not owe you my energy, my space, or my time. You and I are strangers that use the same website. I can block you for literally any reasons and that's okay. Take a deep breath. Block me too. You'll feel better.

Resurfacing this old wisdom imparted by a sage internet denizen of yore, as we embark on this new Bluesky journey together:

Them: This pitch deck is great. What AI did you use for this?

Me: I made it from scratch in PowerPoint

Them: whoa how did you learn to do that

Me: over a decade of using PowerPoint…

Them: but why not use AI?

🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

No one man should have the power to control speech and information for hundreds of millions of people.

IF I'M REALLY DOING SO MUCH BETTER NOW.. ...THEN WHY DOES THIS SADNESS TASTE SO FAMILIAR. BECAUSE "BETTER" ISN'T SOMETHING YOU JUST UNLOCK FOR YOUR LIFE ONE DAY. IT'S WORK. "BETTER" IS BUILT FROM ACTIVE CHOICES AND HABITS. YOU HAVE TO MAINTAIN "BETTER"

Regularly scheduled maintenance.

Excerpt from the book Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter that reads: Chen was the only Twitter employee in the room as Musk bought Twitter. Musk was nonchalant, barely glancing at the papers he autographed, as if he was signing a check for dinner at the end of the night. Watching the casualness with which Musk closed one of the most momentous deals of all time was jarring. And then someone opened the door: “We are closed!” A shock wave of excitement rushed through the room and a smile crept across the face of Twitter’s new owner. The bankers high- fived and Musk laughed, his months-long, on-again, off-again pursuit of the world’s town square finally completed with a few signatures and wire transfers. Chen sat across from his new boss, stunned. “Do you guys need me to step out?” the Twitter vice president asked the room. “No, no, no, you’re good,” Musk replied. Then he slammed his fist on the table and let out what could only be described as a battle cry. “Fuck Zuck!” Musk shouted. Chen couldn’t fathom why Musk, in a moment of celebration, fixated on the founder of Facebook. Perhaps the Twitter deal was Musk’s attempt to lay siege to Zuckerberg’s social media empire, or maybe he had some longstanding score he wanted to settle. Whatever the case, Chen didn’t feel that he could ask.

When Elon Musk signed the paperwork to close his Twitter deal in Oct. 2022, some of the first words out of his mouth, as we reported in CHARACTER LIMIT, were "Fuck Zuck!" It was part of a longstanding feud with Mark Zuckerberg.

With today's Meta announcement, it seems like Musk did exactly that.

Nomination for the best character name in fiction:

There is a character in the Hulu series Shoresy named “Jean Jacques Francois Jacques-Jean,” and everyone calls him “JJ Franky JJ.”

Elon paid $44 billion to have everyone insult him constantly.

Left-Wing Journos’ New Anti-Twitter Playground Is Rife With Death Threats And Fake News Users of the new left-wing Twitter alternative platform BlueSky are proving to be guilty of the very same behaviors that drove them from X in the first place.

Hoo, boy. The right wing noise machine really, really hates that we're over here having a ball on Bluesky. I even got a mention for my treachery in this whiny Daily Caller bitchfest. dailycaller.com/2024/12/26/b...

H5N1 is showing signs of adapting to humans with recent mutations (A134V, N182K, E186D) enhancing its ability to bind to human-like α2-6 receptors in the upper respiratory tract.

This raises serious concerns about the virus’s potential to become more transmissible among humans.
