Pretty specifically said the book so I’m assuming from his Opus Dei tats that’s the Bible. Surprising choice, getting clocked in the scone by a hardbound King James wouldn’t be my preference if I was acting to threaten everybody’s way of life.

@vanbadham Elon Musk is trying to turn Twitter into a replica of Parler, and he wonders why the app stores are thinking of blocking it?
The alt-right genuinely think that free-speech is their right to spew hatred and anger into the discourse of everyone else. But no one else has the right to say "shut the fuck up" or outright refuse to listen or platform them (de-platforming is no less an act of free-speech in reality)

Striking from WaPo:
Under Elon Musk, Twitter has slashed its anti-propaganda team, allowing a "flood of nuisance content in China" to blot out the "flow of news about stunning widespread protests."
This warning from expert @MiaMBloom@twitter.com looks prescient: https://twitter.com/ThePlumLineGS/status/1586023800449241088

1.Shrinking ad revenues means fewer resources to fill more blank spaces.
2.Squeezed MSM thus elevates flakey opinion, speculation & manufactured outrage over fact.
http://3.Media owners run partisan agendas while a cowed ABC recycles News-Nine attack lines. 2/3

This is off the chain. Google made $400k selling ad space to climate deniers targeting people looking for information about bushfires in Australia. Outrage!

Yeah, everyone wants to work for a spoiled, rich jerk who demands their every waking moment be spent serving his vanity projects, who does not respect labor law, lectures them on subjects he knows nothing about & fires them at will. Real alpha. Super alpha. Alpha-fucken-Centauri.

Hey, if all the departing Twitter engineers (and others) formed a co-operative to start a new site, remember: Fuckface will be funding your income for three months to build it, and everyone here will pay you to maintain it. #RIPTwitter

I will give big points to the first news organization, big or small, that:
* Sets up an instance for its newsroom,
* Sets up an instance for the community it serves,
* Enables rel=me for staff,
* Creates a boost-on-Mastodon sharing function,
* Enhances that function so headlines/images (with alt-text) appear in the toot,
* Covers the Fediverse as more than a geeky curiosity or alt-Twitter,
* Listens to and joins in the conversation here.

Trumpism’s defeat shows US voters are tiring of cynical culture warring by opportunistic right-wing politicians and a media that monetises outrage. In Australia, you can almost smell the panic among the lame Trump tribute band that is the LNP, talkback radio and Sky.

Matthew Guy suggested that a Labor Govt should consult with the IPA.
The IPA refuse to tell anyone who funds them.
Who pulls their strings? Who are the advocating for?
Until they disclose, no politician should meet with them & no journalist should platform them.

@TheRickWilson@twitter.com Between the purchase of Twitter and funding the Red Wave, America's right-wing billionaire class has shown the quality of their judgement.
