Man...

I was pretty bummed when I heard that Twitter was going to die. There are some cool moments in history that happened on Twitter. It was a hell of a ride, but the writing was on the wall well before Elon bought it. It was time to go.

But not like this.

It deserved a good death. Not to have it's corpse raped on full display over and over.

A lot of very talented people committed so much time and energy to this. When it launched, it was a novel idea and they really forged some roads in our understanding of how we communicate and receive information.

It was clear at the end that it would never produce the kind of ROI on advertising to make investors happy, and that Nazis had clearly taken over the platform and used it to bastardize journalism further. It was time to go to pasture.

But not like this.

Hopefully its mutilated, humiliated and desiccated corpse will feed the growth of the federated web.

I hope you find peace, sweet prince.

Must be a lot of freedom down there that they're banning so many things.

"Editor wastes ink on this bullshit instead of the news"

What the hell is with these shitty judges not doing their jobs? They've been warned. The next step is not to warn them again, it's to file sanctions.

Holy shit!! This is great news. Hey - if we just raise temperatures globally, that could solve our micro plastics problem. Now... How do we get the ball rolling on this new "global warming" idea?

"CNNs Dana Bash puts microphone in front known liar and is surprised when he lies"

Fucking media. Stop giving attention to these clowns.

Good to know that nobody will be held accountable for the end of the world.

I think that if they're letting those cars go out the factory door with the parts for heated rear seats, then I own those too, and I'll do with them what I please.

Ding fuckin dong.

Should have died in the Hague

You've clearly never taken for the ole' poutine scam. Everywhere you buy poutine, they tell you that "this isn't REAL poutine. You've gotta go to __________". It's always somewhere else. This poutine is in another castle. Don't fall for it. It's all so they can tell sell more plane tickets to Montreal.

Total assholes and somehow that's a selling point.

Put him. The fuck. In jail.

At this point, the GOP, the DOJ, and the NYAG are complicit in his criminal behavior.

Fuuuuck... Just rolling out the deep cuts

It's a good thing she told all of the right people that this happened so that we could avoid an obvious coup and threat to the constitution that she swore an oath to protect...

Amirite, guys?!?

Why did the room get so quiet?

I just feel like there isn't enough "we told you so" laying around to unfuck this

There's a slate of judges who are refusing to do their jobs. There shouldn't be another discussion about it, the lawyers were warned, and this step should be to file sanctions and report them to the bar.

A Colorado judge issued an order disallowing Trump from intimidating witnesses or officers of the court - something that is ALREADY illegal. They're so terrified of putting him in jail for contempt.

Chicken shit judges.

*Edit: there -> they're. Amateur hour over here.

Scotus has clearly demonstrated that it is no longer a legitimate institution. It's be fine with both sides ignoring them until they can demonstrate that they've cleaned house.

We're not doing laws anymore. Just for the poors

I really liked him. Get him to the Greek is one of my favorite movies.

Innocent until proven guilty, so I'm going to hold off on judgement ( not that my judgement matters). There seems to be A LOT working against him here. He's not cancelling tours and losing his agent if people thought this was unfair - sometimes up.

There's a lot of rape apologists in this thread though. As much as he's innocent before proven guilty, so is his accuser. "All it takes is an accusation to ruin a perfectly good career". Y'all should be ashamed. That doesn't happen without MAJOR consequences for a false accusation, as well as consequences for any media outlet that ruins the story without due diligence. It's extremely hard to prove rape cases, meaning that if it's gotten this far, there's enough evidence to put it into print. This is global news, and NOBODY has come out with any compelling story as to why the accuser is lying.

Bottom line, none of us really understand what actually happened, and everyone seems too eager to write off Brand or his accuser. Chill out. More info will come.

I hate working out. I don't get the endorphins from it that other people seem to talk about. Directly, no. I didn't get anything from it.

But...

I look good. People speak to me differently. I have more and better sex. Better for quality makes me not feel like shit all the time. My personal image has changed and I time myself depressed a lot less.

So ultimately, yes. Go to the damn gym.
