Okay, hear me out...

With the corporations like Meta, Threads, Amazon, Xitter (the Shirtbird site, i.e. Twitter), etc. crapping all over the LGBTQ+ folks, scrapping their DEI programs, allowing hate on their platforms, I'm forced to come to this conclusion:

Whatever programs they previously had were not based on honest beliefs. They were just going through the motions because they believed that it made money. Thus, they were virtue signaling for the sake of money.

I sure plan to remember this, when the wind shifts again, and they decide that reinstating some of those programs is in their best interest.

PSA: Don't put in your dating profile "active on Twitter."

😬

You might as well put "I'm proud to be a shitbag."

Maybe you have a good reason to still have a Twitter account. Okay. Don't talk about it in your dating profile as if it were a plus.

The only appropriate way to talk about a Twitter account these days is to do it sheepishly, with your eyes downcast, and in hushed tones, very much aware of the shame it implies.

Yeah, that profile was rejected immediately. I've already dated a queer Republican. I'm not looking for a repeat.

(No, I did not know initially that she was a Republican. She revealed that months into our relationship. :headache: )

"Oh, it's my Twitter box."

"Hmm.... it looks like a litter box to me."

"Yes, but it's full of shit... so I call it a Twitter box."

"X now treats the term cisgender as a slur"

I now treat the term Elon Musk as a slur.

"Elon M..."

Hey, now! You're about to slur!

"Marjorie Taylor Greene spreads bizarre message about 10-year-old girl’s future orgasms"

That 10-year-old girl is trans, so I guess that gave MTG the green light.

FFS... I give MTG the Indomitable Pisspot Award for jackassery.

Don't read the article if you cannot stand misgendering.

I'd also say that LGBTQ Nation did a piss poor job here. Why should I have to go to Xitter to see the original TikTok without the Xitter shit around it? It took me 5 minutes to find the link and I'm a TikTok dunce.

I'm going to post a direct link as a reply to this post.

"Elon Musk demands users stop ‘deadnaming’ Twitter after Stephen King trolls the billionaire"

:headache: Yes, because calling that shitty platform by anything else than its new name is **totally** the same as deadnaming a trans person, sure, whatever.

Every day, Etron Muskrat finds new ways to demonstrate himself to be the biggest asshole on this planet.

"Standing by the antisemite, Tesla drops Disney+ in retaliation"

Well, it looks like Tesla is following Twitter down that specific shitter.

Disney+ pulls advertising from Twitter. Tesla retaliates by pulling Disney+ from its cars.

Great job! I'm sure this is going to end well for Twitter and Tesla.

"FabFitFun, a $1 billion subscription box startup, frantically backpedals after a profane, pro–Elon Musk ad bombs"

:headache:

WTF did they think it was a good idea to :

a) Put their ads on Twitter?

b) Tell their customer to use a GoF--kYourself rebate code. (I don't know if the code was meant to be censored or not.)

From the article:

===
The ad felt like a rude political intrusion into lifestyle retail. One X user wrote, “Just in case anybody thinks of trying FabFitFun, the owners are right-wing Trumpers who are enamoured with Elon & snarl ‘woke’ under their breath.”
===

Good god! The idiocy! It burns!!! I've tried a couple subscription services. They sucked. If you've got a good thing going, why ruin it?

"Linda Yaccarino Turns To Her Son For Help As Advertisers Flee X"

I imagine it went like this:

"Sweetie, how about you and Elon go to a park to play and let mommy run the company."

"No! 😡 "

"I hear there's nice Nazi memorabilia in this park."

"Let me grab him!"

https://www.pajiba.com/web_culture/linda-yaccarino-turns-to-her-son-for-help-as-advertisers-flee-x.php

I remember shortly after Yaccarino was hired. I predicted that she wouldn't do a dent in the shitshow that Twitter had become.

Someone said that I should hold my horses and give her a chance.

Well... I did call it way back when, and I'm calling it again now.

Yaccarino did nothing for Twitter. I know I've used the following saying before, maybe even when I was talking about Yaccarino:

"Never wrestle with a pig because you'll both get dirty, and the pig likes it."

(Attributed to every famous person.)

With her latest denial that the platform reflects antisemitic views of Muskrat, she's past the event horizon.

If you are still of the opinion that I should wait and see, well, a few words for you:

* You're an antisemite too.

* Go fuck yourself.

* In the off chance that everything turns out for the best, I'll eat humble pie, but not one day before that happens. I ain't holding my breath.

"X users will need protection after the ‘block’ feature is removed – here’s why businesses are better than people at moderating negative comments"

The article makes the argument that businesses are better placed to police content.

I call bullshit on this notion.

What the businesses will do is remove content that is critical of them, and boost content that makes it look like their shit is worth buying.

If you think anything else will happen, you're an idiot.

Pursuant to the story above...

"Hey? News outfit, how come you're still on Twitter? Did you sell your soul to the highest bidder?"

"Not at all! We merely sold our soul to the highest Twitter. :derpface: "

"Elon Musk’s X (Formerly Twitter) Is Imposing a 5-Second Delay on Links to Meta Apps, New York Times and Other Sites"

So if you're a news organization, and you're still on Twitter, then either:

a) You tell it like it is, and make Muskrat look like a complete douche, but you have to suffer a 5-second delay.

b) You make Muskrat look like he's the second coming, and then you don't suffer the 5-second delay.

So if you're a news organization and are on Twitter, either you bend backwards to please Muskrat, and sacrifice your ethics in the process, or you suffer a 5-second delay.

If, as a news organization, you're happy with Twitter, I'm going to assume that you've sold your soul.

"Linda Yaccarino celebrates her first public victory as X CEO by reviving an advertising council Elon Musk disbanded"

When you have no accomplishments in a new job, anything will look like a victory.

You know what? I think it won't be a victory, but I'm ready to be proved wrong. Calling this a victory *now*, however, is quite premature.

So far I've been proved right that Yaccarino has made no difference to the way Twitter is run. It was a dumpster fire before her, and it still is.
