People are shocked at this but he is actually a much better choice of rebound guy than Brad Pitt (who she was also being linked with).

VS bought Adore Me, didn't they? I hope it doesn't mean they are going to start using their own art direction team on the Adore Me shoots.

It will be interesting to see what happens. Supposedly Murdoch has informed Trump he will no longer back another run at the WH. I will say that for all his faults, I like Trump a lot more than DeSantis. Who seems to be the figure the GOP leadership is now rallying around to Trump's detriment.

Russian rockets land in a Polish town near the Ukrainian border. Two people dead. Probably won't trigger article 5 but Poland might ask for measures under article 4.

He'll need to do a lot more of this kind of stuff just to keep the company afloat in the short to mid-term. The degree to which he was fleeced on this take-over is hard to believe.

Greatest Batman. Batman The Animated Series was also so far ahead of its time.

I'm tired of discussing this now. We will see what happens to Twitter. In any case, Musk claims there haven't been substantial changes to how they moderate tweets so by your definition the bird is not yet free.

"The bird's freedom", defined by what exactly? I don't see a huge difference on the app itself, other than the nonsense of people pretending to be someone else using their newly acquired blue tick.

It's not a strawman, it's based on financial analysis. Unless Musk pumps a crazy amount of money into it to keep it afloat, there is a very good chance the company will go bankrupt. Even Musk himself has communicated this to the staff. And since there is no clear way for him to fix the negative cash flow issues in the short term, it's not really obvious how he can avoid that. Unless he keeps on selling Tesla stock to prop up the company. Obviously he cannot do that indefinitely.

Your definition of "progressive" must be different from mine. All the ones I know hate his guts for not paying any taxes and how he treats the Amazon employees.

Oh yeah, progressives famously love Jeff Bezos.

Not sure why you are making this about progressive vs. conservative. Every serious business analyst cannot make sense of his decisions, which seem to run counter all logic about how you would run this company shortly after the acquisition. He has alienated advertisers in a matter of weeks. Has gotten rid of almost all of the staff in charge of user security. The Twitter Blue roll-out was such a disaster that it has now largely been retracted already. By any objective measure, the first few weeks of his ownership could almost not have gone any worse.

It probably won't exist within a year. So by your logic, no twitter is better than old twitter. It's a POV I guess.

Honestly from an objective business perspective, the entire take-over has been handled shoddily. If I were an engineer still working there, I would seek other employment quickly (especially if they are serious about delegating FTC certification to the engineering level).
-

I'm not sure what this has to do with the fact that almost the entire senior security staff left in one go. Or the FTC breathing down their necks. And if the point is that a situation where anyone can buy a blue tick for eight dollars is better, I suggest you check out the insane stuff that has already happened even after just a few days of that.

Yeah, a lot of concern from people whose entire audience is on twitter. I think they are fucked either way. Even if the company does not go down, Elon's vision of it is very different. Only blue checkmarks will get primacy. So the age of non-verified users building very large followings (e.g. @dril) is essentially over. And most of the people who built their audience entirely on Twitter started out anonymously.

First one I read was The Stand. But after that, I read most of his back catalogue and I have bought most of the new ones since then. Most recent one I have read is Fairy Tale.

This is one of the things that has the FTC rattled.

If even half the stories - heck if even one third of the stories - coming out of twitter right now are true, the company will soon be bankrupt. After laying off half the staff and the disaster of the new Twitter Blue launch, there are now also reports of the FTC and the European commission getting ready to crawl up their backside (no doubt because the entire senior executive staff tasked with user security quit the same day). And apparently Musk just admitted - internally - the company has a negative cash flow of billions of dollars and that he has had to sell some Tesla stock just to keep them afloat.
