    If you don’t think that the Saudis, put Musk up to buying Twitter to kill it because they never again wanted as much uncontrolled global blowback as they were getting for butchering Kashoggi, and wrote the entire amount of as public relations expense, then I don’t know what to tell you man

    The judge, it seems, is flying by the seat of his pants a bit, as he also said that businesses and individuals using VPN’s to access Xitter, would be fined $9k a day or something like that. Not sure how he thinks VPN’s work. I guess they can institute the Brazil wide block, then watch to see what accounts from Brasil are updating after the block, then make the case they must be using VPN’s to circumnavigate the block, but that’s A WHOLE FUCKTON of surveillance, enforcement and prosecution, I’m not sure Brazil’s courts are up for.

    Judge has the right idea here, fuck Elon Musk, and fuck Xitter, it is not a sovereign nation, it is a communications company poisoning and allowing through racist incitement the poisoning of the body politic of the entire free world, and should be held to task.












  • I’m in the computer industry, haven’t played video games in decades. The time sink that video games demand, on top of working with machines all day every day just isn’t appealing to me. From the outside, seeing the vegas style “no clocks, windows and plenty of air conditioning” gamblingification of the games industry, from microtransactions, loot crates, games as personal identity, leads me to reckon they’re absolutely a thief of focus, as that’s what garners the most revenue for the games producers themselves. It’s a snake eating it’s own tail, with lifetimes spent, just clicking away.



  • Snoop Dogg joined the Nation of Islam in 2008, a religion that likes to refer to Jews as vermin and the greatest evil, he’s since been quoted as saying he converted to rastafarianism, mormonism, and born again christianity, but it’s that nation of islam bit that he participated in that will always mean he’s straight up jew hating trash to me

    You don’t become a Nazi, then say you’re not a Nazi anymore, I mean, you can try, and there are plenty that will believe you, even some that will love you for it, but you’ll always be a fucking Nazi to me


  • While any forced retreat by musk, is something to celebrate on it’s own, it should be muted by the fact that “The X service remains available to the people of Brazil, the platform said on Saturday.” seems like they’re just closing their offices so they don’t get fined or arrested, but will keep their access operational in Brazil, for now. Brazil can always shut it down any time it likes, and hope they do, but Musk closes offices and lays off employees literally all the time, literally on a whim. This is nothing for him. Sucks to be his employee, but again, anyone still choosing to be in his employ knowing the cunt fascist he’s become, deserves all the bad that’s coming to them.
