In the colonoscopy waiting room and the doctor is four hours late. Everyone has fasted for a day and are pissed. Watching an entire room of people get radicalized to the point of violence.
Musk declares something he knows nothing about, is corrected by an employee who explains the problem, and then fires that employee and presents their ideas as his own. If this doesn't sum up his entire career I don't know what does.
In retrospect maybe it was bad to have nine unelected officials who decide our most important laws behind closed doors with total immunity and a lifetime appointment while gladly and openly taking bribes.
Be wary of any tv show entirely hinged on characters escaping a situation that, if they succeed, would immediately end the show. I call this the Westworld rule.
So, just to recap, there was nothing overtly wrong with Twitter before Elon Musk decided to buy it. He declared it broken, sank its share value, and locked himself into a ridiculous deal that put him into billions in debt…
This is from Skyfall. Jordan Peterson is half-remembering the villain monologue from the movie Skyfall and confidently retelling it as a historical fact. And that pretty much sums up how he gets most of his information.
You guys don't get it. If George Carlin were alive today he'd also invite a billionaire emerald mine heir on stage to try to do PR work for him before calling his audience poor for booing. It's comedy. Look it up.
Between "$8 for a check mark" and the NFT fad it's amazing how many tech dudes seem convinced that everyday people will pay actual money for arbitrary symbols of imaginary status.
The cop who assaulted an old man got suspended so now all we have to do is protest non-stop for a few days and raise massive awareness from corporations and endure many more assaults from riot police and then perhaps they’ll charge him with a crime see folks the system works.
…Once the deal went through, he fired all the people in charge, costing hundreds of millions in payouts. Then, to make up for all the debt, he’s issued massive and sudden layoffs (with lawsuits to follow) and began a hilarious plan to charge for a previously free feature…
@Timcast
What Tim is referring to here is a Sunday book reading, not a recruiting event for pedophiles. Calling something a “grooming event” doesn’t make it one. And this exact language is why there’s blood on his hands. He should feel shame for the rest of his sad little life.
If the website goes under, it will affect the lives of hundreds of thousands of people who rely on Twitter for business and self promotion as well as costing thousands more jobs. So much money will be lost…
@Timcast
If you think a “kid friendly book reading” by LGBTQ people is “grooming” then that’s your fucking problem. Don’t make it the rest of the world’s problem too, you embarrassing bigot.
@mtgreenee
Disgusting. I can’t believe someone would yell at you after all the work you’ve done spreading the most toxic political discourse imaginable. Must be something wrong with the country and not you specifically.
Hey remember when Elon Musk said that someone attacked a car with his kid because of that account that tracked his jet and used it to justify banning several journalists? Well that was a complete lie.
I don’t blame anyone for not knowing if I’m being sarcastic or not. There’s too many dipshits out there that would say this exact thing with a straight face.
@jordanbpeterson
If you’re a fan of Peterson and recognize that this graph is purposefully and obviously misleading then I encourage you to start wondering what else he’s said that might be wrong or misleading.
I should probably add that there definitely ARE things wrong with Twitter. Just not the things Elon thinks is wrong with it. And certainly not stuff that can be solved by hacking away at half of the company.
Very funny that Elon Musk is so uncool that he’s buying Twitter for attention. That’s like when the rich kid rents the entire bowling alley so everyone has to be his friend.

So the Aberdeen shooter he mentioned was in 2018. Since then there’s been roughly 2,770 Mass shootings in the U.S according to wiki. The four people Benny listed represents 0.14 percent of those incidents. That’s how child-brained his point is.
during this holiday please pray for me specifically, a man who is desperately trying to write a Some More News script about Elon Musk's terrible decisions for Twitter and keeps having to update it every fucking day
To be clear, “cameo” is the wrong word to describe what they did in the Flash movie because “cameo” implies actor participation. This movie painted familiar faces onto CGI scarecrows and hoped you’d clap. There should be a new word for that.
I've seen people float the idea that there's a conspiracy here because of who she was and that the conditions were so strange. I'd argue it's less strange when you realize the car she was in was apparently designed to be a tomb.
Incredible update: I NEVER got the results for this. Neither has my primary care physician. No one can reach their office. So this was all for nothing. Genuinely wondering if there's a way I can report this doctor, who for all I know is just some guy who likes looking in butts.

The world’s richest man unironically sharing an anti-vax Tyler Durden meme is about as definitive as it gets that capitalism doesn’t reward intelligence.
@DawnEMcKenzie
It appears that this family used their EBT card the correct way, aka purchasing food. Not sure what the problem is here or why you're going around looking at peoples' shopping receipts. Have a wonderful holiday. Perhaps you should rethink your life a bit.
My high school had an annual drag show the LGBTQ students would put on. They would often ask the jock kids to join in (and they did). Teachers would dress up. It was a big event. It brought the students and staff together. It made me a better person.
If you're wondering why the news media is currently obsessed with "quiet quitting" it's because their industry has been destroyed so thoroughly that the idea of working reasonable hours for fair pay is completely foreign to them.
Really seems like if you buy any company and then immediately tank it, either intentionally or through incompetence, then you should go to jail. That’s certainly hurting more lives than selling weed or shoplifting.
@jordanbpeterson
I see a lot of people replying with "he's just sparking a discussion" and if that's the case than surely so am I, right? I'm just encouraging people to look into Jordan Peterson's other statements and check to see how factually accurate they are. That's not controversial.
@benshapiro
Ben knows this isn't true because all of the major mass shootings from last year were done by far-right extremists. One of which specifically against LGBTQ people. And it did not dominate the news cycle for months.
when I worked in a kitchen one of the line cooks put All Night Long by Lionel Richie on a continuous loop for the entire shift and the waitstaff kept asking him how long he was going to keep playing the song for

@elonmusk
I really can’t stress enough how overtly stupid Benny’s tweet was. Just the most unintelligent misuse of facts that anyone with half a brain could spot. That’s why it’s so incredible that it has apparently convinced one of the richest people alive.
Oh hey look this millionaire CEO took a pay cut to give all his employees a fair salary and since then this business is thriving and everyone is really happy despite conservative pundits saying it would fail I wonder if there's a lesson here
corporations: we have built a robot that spits on it's own hands. It uses 10,000 gallons of water per day and our hope is that it will one day replace dogs.
I remember we used to reject pitches in the Cracked workshop that would not only be completely plagiarized... but the poster would even CITE the thing they stole from as their source. There's a bizarre disconnect where a lot of people simply don't see the internet as real life.
Remember that Simpsons episode where Homer tours with Lollapalooza after his kids think he’s lame for liking Grand Funk Railroad? That episode was 26 years ago, making it as old now as Grand Funk Railroad was when the episode came out. Okay, enjoy that fact.
I’m other words - no matter what you think happened there’s zero link to the ElonJet account. He used this as an excuse to ban an account he didn’t like and lied about it.
Just looked up the punishments for treason and/or staging a coup in the U.S. and it turns out we either execute people or charge them the cost of a used Ford Fiesta.
Got an older punk friend with dentures. Asked him what happened and he said "well I thought Ronald Reagan was the end so I figured there was no point in brushing". The moral being that no matter how bad things get, you still have to keep brushing. Anyway just a thought.
