Having an account on X supports this shit whether you like it or not it.
He acts literally like a fucking toddler.
Perhaps even a toddler in a tantrum.
Now that’s just kind of rude toward toddlers. He acts like what he is… a Ketamine addled, narcissistic billionaire, who got lucky in life and thinks he crafted his own destiny all by his own hands.
Ketamine is a dissociative which strips away what you know about things, sort of like how a child doesnt know things. So in a way, he’s actually a toddler.
Fair enough, fair enough. Toddlers are way more pleasant than him, even when they’ve shat their pants. I apologise to all toddlers.
uuh, new users for the fediverse. looking forward to y’all ;-)
I still prefer to refer to him as “Leon.”
Nah, Leon is a decent name, also that protagonist from some Resident Evil games
“Elmo” is better if you ask me. They’re both annoying children that need to shut the fuck up and go away.
Elmo is beloved and doesn’t hurt anyone. Put some respect on his name.
As someone who once had a toddler, he’s not beloved, he’s hated by most parents. Because he’s fucking awful. Stop talking to the fish and the baby, Elmo! They can’t fucking understand you! Also, you don’t seem to notice that Mr. Noodle keeps changing and that lack of basic attention to detail is worrying.
On top of that, his parents basically neglect him, which is why you never see him.
Fuck Elmo. Give me Cookie Monster, Ernie and Bert and Oscar the Grouch.
I have these same feelings for Paw Patrol
Nothing can top the searing hatred for Caillou though.
Yeah get him! Elmo has been dodging the consequences of his war crimes for far too long.
Israel, is that you?
I swear that’s the first time I have heard them referred to as Ernie and Bert and not Bert n ernie
Apparently Sesame Street prefers it my way: https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/The_Best_of_Ernie_and_Bert
that makes him sound more normal
In South Africa, we call him Melon Husk.
First of all, Elon is probably just trying to do some marketing bullshit But Brazilian STF is full of crap also, Alexandre de Moraes is Just censoring people without any judgment or justification, he tried to prohibit the use of vpn and created a “fake news” committee where he get to say what is real or not
I tried searching for sources that back up the claim that the judge created a fake news committee under his control and couldn’t find anything.
Not saying it’s false, but do you have a source for that?
Sorry, I think I translated poorly by “fake news committee” i was referring to the “inquérito das fake news”.
This was very controversial even when was born, so you probably will find a lot in Brazilian fonts.
The whole ordeal is still going in under some secrecy, but I suspect the main parts that make it controversial are these, from the given article:
- When the inquiry began, it was from an “elastic” understanding of the internal regiment of the Supreme Court. It’s a process that, under normal circumstances, requires either a police or the Public Ministry to ask to investigate first.
- In a lone vote against opening the inquiry, judge Marco Aurelio said the process should’ve begun via the Procuradoria Geral da República
- Everything is still going under secrecy.
- There’s no definite end in sight for the investigations
The Brazilian STF has MANY flaws, chief among them of having no “power” that oversees it (the senate does, in theory, but no senator is dumb enough to fight the judiciary), but Moraes is the only son of a bitch with a sprinkle of decency (which I don’t expect to last past this “hunt” on the far right) and actually being proactive, unlike every other judge who is a morose sloth that will only react through “notas de repúdio” (notice of disapproval) that nobody gives a single flying fuck about and sit on fucking cases for over a year because there’s nobody to tell them to do their fucking job correctly*
Very important to keep in mind is the context. During the entirety of bozonazi’s presidency (2019-2022), it was a known “secret” that he used everything he could to incite people against the supreme court. The Gabinete do Ódio (Hate Cabinet), which kept the crazies “informed” with bullshit, was a fact known by everyone. Among said crazies were the fuckers that, in june 2020, fired fireworks at the STF building as a “warning”. Bozo and his flunkies threatened the supreme court every fucking week and bozo himself used a meeting with foreign dignitaries to cast doubt on the voting machines. To think all those threats were empty would be pure stupidity, especially when they culminated with the January 8 failed coup.
*Just look at Gilmar Mendes and his famous “perdido de vista” with ADI 4.650, where the old fart sat on the case for 18 months. It wanted to make it illegal for companies and corporations to finance political campaigns. The old fat fuck was in favor of keeping them legal but he knew if the judgement continued, his vote would lose, so he just sat on the case while the 2014 elections rolled with lots and lots of corporate money flowing around.
You know they dont
And I am not they, I do not speak for a group or Nothing of sorts, I just feel sad when my country situation is just overlooked, please don’t put me in the same basket as whatever you was putting me
He tried, he can try whatever he wants, it’s not him who decide
Because he is a bitch.
Twitter is now removing the block function next. It ought to bleed users like crazy.
No they aren’t. They are changing how it works, in a way that is mostly immaterial to the user. That is not even close to completely removing.
Yep.
From the sounds of it:
Before: if you block somebody, they cannot see your stuff.
After: if you block somebody, they can still visit your profile.
Usually, when you block someone, they can no longer see your feed; instead, it’s replaced with a message stating that they’re blocked. Now, they can freely browse your feed; they’re just not allowed to interact or comment on your posts.

NGL Elon’s excitement sounds like he was blocked by a lot of people and Daddy Musk will not have closed doors in this household! 😮💨
Stalkers and abusers rejoice!
Seriously, if you are on twitter and have had a relationship with someone like this do not post on your account or they will find you now.
Your scenario doesn’t exist. All you had to do to get around this was make a new profile.
A small barrier is better than none
To be fair though: While circumventing that was as easy as logging out, the inability to see things while logged in was kinda stupid and gave people a false perception of privacy. In that setting that change is just a case of being honest.
With the ability to view posts without account largely removed, it’s a bit of a different story, but I have to admit that if it’s public on Xitter, it’s still kinda public, so hiding it still kinda missing the poin.
No longer being able to hide your public posts from specific users seems hardly immaterial to me.
Wait, what?
X/Twitter will soon be making more changes to the block button, with CEO Elon Musk confirming that all public posts will be viewable going forward, even to those who have been blocked
Which is not even a big deal because blocked users could just create a separate account to view posts they’re blocked from anyway.
I thought most stuff was viewable even without account. Doesn’t seem like a big deal if you can view their post but not interact with it since I would’ve thought others interacting with you was what you wanted to block them from doing anyway.
If you’re blocking users left and right that you know spread misinformation, you will still see their posts. No way you can keep track of the usernames in your head, and now you may hear a misinformation or two and assume it to be a fact.
I think they are just changing it so the blocked user can still see the blocker’s posts, not the other way around.
Oh, that’s just normal then
Isn’t that how it works on most platforms though? You can see the account you’ve been blocked by, but can’t interact with them.
On reddit it stopped the blocked person from seeing your account and comments.
Or it used to. Or I’m misremembering.
But remember kids, he’s some sort of business and tech genius!
Definitely has managed to invest in some incredibly profitable stuff but he also says and does the absolutely stupidest shit imaginable. It’s astounding
Happy cake day
a lot of that profit is derived from a set of rug pulls that only work because he had the money of the victims to keep pushing his image in the media
The real life inspiration for super genius Cave Johnson from Portal.
Yeah, but Cave Johnson was a compelling and interesting individual.
A bit unfair since real life idiots don’t have good writing teams.
Sometimes they have good PR teams though. Musk used to have a PR team back when he was rich enough to afford one but not rich enough to not need one.
Elon should have received additional fines for his taunts and threats, honestly.
Elon hasn’t said a word, but we will.
Fucking emerald spoon clown.
That is the most accurate description for him. Zero notes, pitch perfect.
Brazil didn’t shut down “X”. They did it themselves so X wouldn’t have a Brazilian entity subject to Brazilian court orders. That is why Starlink got caught in the mess.
Why BlueSky or even Threads tho?
Because “it’s where people are going” - plus those two are already well known among normies, unlike mastodon/misskey/fediverse. They want a centralized thing.
Funnily enough, during this brazilian exodus, my sister complained that Threads was too “clean”, while bluesky had all the “people with questionable mental stability” and was thus more interesting.
I dunno, I follow some political, rap, and basketball YouTubers and they all use Twitter. I’d much rather them use Bluesky or Threads. I think Mastodon would probably be best but so far, anything’s better than Twitter.
As long as the general public only hears the first half of the story, it’s good marketing
We’re part of the general public, and we’ve heard both halves.
Especially since the second half already contains the consequences of bad marketing.
This is a hint at why he wanted involvement in PayPal and wants X to be a financial service. You can’t take away money from a system he controls.
The government can absolutely take away money he controls.
