@nealr Aside from being insensitive to a huge swathe of the population who actually have to deal with the fallout of SCOTUS's horrible decision, the fact that you think Musk buying Twitter is more important than Roe v. Wade being overturned shows a) just how grotesquely overrated Twitter is both in terms of stability and importance and b) just how many people end up mistakenly thinking it is "the global town square".

It's not. It's an algorithmically-fueled 280-character bad-take spigot that tries to drive engagement via showing people the most enraging things it can find. Pretending that it's some crucial pillar of stability upholding democracy that Musk can use to topple the world order is simply ignorant. People will move on to bigger, and from what I have seen so far, probably better, things.
