You know I'm a big advocate & defender of 𝕏! I've come to love that stark & fearless symbol, uncluttered & resolute. The variable that can stand for anything you may want to plug into the Universal equation. I do NOT want to go back to the limited reach & vision
Okay gang, it’s my theory that Twitter transition to X is hard because of action words.
Therefore will start to push X to become Xapp or Xap.
Pronounced “Zap”!
Space age laser 😜
Tweeting=Zapping
Posted=Zapped
Nice post=nice Zap

There are states already agitating to let non-citizens vote. Only in local elections so far, but that's how it starts. The issue was on the ballot in my state also in '22, but we shot it down. I expect them to try again.
@stillgray
I was only vaguely aware of this. I'd read about a woke school turning the kid into a communist so he felt billionaires were inherently evil, & turned him against his dad. The full story is worse yet. Using a parent's love as a destructive weapon!
@stillgray
I don't care WHAT they're protesting, people who block traffic need to be cleared away. Bodily hauled off, if necessary. They may be delaying medical emergencies & critical appointments for drivers who have nothing whatsoever to do with their cause.
@WholeMarsBlog
I give more weight to Elon's judgment than I give to vapid Hollywood endorsements, even if it's someone whose work I like. Their work by definition is a fantasy & their lives are insulated from real world damage. Meanwhile Elon is out here solving the real problems of the real
@Travis_in_Flint
I don't even care so much whether I totally politically align with someone, whether they're my first choice or not - but if a public figure is being unfairly attacked & silenced, words twisted, laws & govt agencies weaponized, it pisses me off. I'll stand with those who have the
@JoeyMannarinoUS
And saying any of this, which is just an observation of FACTS, will be called "hate speech." I don't hate anyone for their features of biology or culture. I hate unfairness & hypocrisy. I hate seeing qualified people punished in favor of the unqualified to score political points.
@shellenberger
Data from 𝕏's own analytics showed how much Media Matters had to manipulate their feed to create their handful of desired results. And how few users actually saw it (almost none). I hope this info isn't too technical for whatever judge & jury ends up with the case, but a smart

Attacking her (entirely appropriate) choice of clothing just shows desperation. Those that hate her husband? Well, take issue with HIM. How pathetic to invent a reason for outrage against someone who did them no harm.

@Microsoft
So basically if you write something up on your own laptop for your own private purposes, & their AI is spying on you & they don't like it, they can lock you out of your own files?!
@donlemon
This is shameful behavior from someone imagining themselves a journalist. Leading questions with a predetermined agenda, intrusive harassment, then turning around with ridiculous demands & running back to CNN to spew more assumptions & aspersions. You were given a chance to
@Teslaconomics
It is wrong, unfair, & completely baffling, except in light of the judge being motivated by envy. ("He already has enough/nobody 'should' have that much"). Apparently this is the same judge that forced Elon to go through with the purchase of Twitter at a price much higher than
@stillgray
I expected to be grossed out (& was), but by the end I was impressed with her. Very matter-of-fact video, none of this "healthy at any weight" nonsense. She opened herself up to ridicule by being honest & DID acknowledge that the problem was her extreme obesity - which she's
@Rainmaker1973
Impressive but not immensely surprising. Other species will eat willow, for instance, which contains natural aspirin. They know what's in their environment & how to help themselves.
@MarioNawfal
AfD is popular in former East Germany where people still remember living under Communism. They don't want to go back to that! Sounds like Scholz is saying he won't accept the election results.
@elonmusk
That person has a pretty insulting view of women. Surely you don't believe this? It doesn't vary by sex but by character, integrity, & personality.
@Rainmaker1973
Vaccines along with antibiotics are THE most significant advancements in medicine. Without them, millions died from what would be minor injuries & illness to us. BUT they have to be properly tested for safety & presented honestly, which the recent controversial ones were not.

Both are good on free speech, anti-war, immigration, & protecting women & kids from trans ideology, which are my other major concerns. But Trump falters when

Those of us who have been paying attention already had an inkling of this, but thanks for setting the record straight. Sometimes you have to write out your thoughts in more detail so people will GET IT. When you do, it's very powerful. Be proud of what you've achieved!

@Kristennetten
See, this is not a good thing. People block not only because they don't want to see the blocked person, but because they don't want to BE seen by the blocked person. They may not want that person to know what's going on in their life, where they've moved to, what events they
@CommunityNotes
Thank you! Hope this will cut down on the petty activism notes on obvious satire or personal opinions, that constantly have to be downvoted. I mean seriously, a CN on a KITTEN MEME? I still can't get over that one.
@DavidSacks
I lost track of this story too because it just didn't come up on the radar. Biden admin bent over backwards to retrieve a basketball player because the optics play to their base, but literally left this guy to rot. Priorities, once again.
@TulsiGabbard
That wide-open border is asking for more trouble than most seem to realize. Disgusting how today's Dems care more about the security of other countries than our own. Constantly pandering to some fruitloop fringe.
@Rainmaker1973
Maybe a dumb question but why does EGYPT need such an immense building for housing national defense? Not a country I think of as being in a perpetual state of war or with aspirations of world conquest.
@Chesschick01
@elonmusk
Some of the accounts that 𝕏 was told to take down are sitting congressmen. Elected lawmakers. They just happen not to agree with the majority in power. Same stuff is being attempted here in the US with persecution of Biden's rivals, but we are amateur hour compared to Brazil!

@EdKrassen
"Cis" implies that there's some other type of man or woman that's equally real, and that's just not the case. I personally won't get out of sorts if someone throws it at me (sticks & stones), but it DOES promote a falsehood.
@elonmusk
@jk_rowling
Known dangerous criminals are turned loose on the streets while a minor matter is escalated for political reasons. Are non-supporters of Trump ok with this, on principle? Many are, if you look at the celebration in some quarters. "Gotta destroy democracy in order to save it."
@EdKrassen
@elonmusk
Non citizens were recently found on the voter rolls of my state. They were purged, but how did they get listed in the first place?
@elonmusk
And yet your new CEO has advocated for just that kind of thing. I hate to keep being negative, I really do want to give her the benefit of the doubt, but this needs to be addressed & clarified.
@OmarRiverosays
He didn't say one word that was anti-Semetic. He expressed a negative opinion about an INDIVIDUAL, having nothing to do with their cultural background. By that logic if you legitimately have a difference of opinion with ANYONE, it can be brushed off as anti-whatever.

The only other egg-laying mammal is the echidna or spiny anteater, a fellow Australian monotreme. Australia hit the jackpot in wonderfully bizarre wildlife!
@RandPaul
Once they remove our rights, they're almost impossible to get back. They will use any excuse. If there isn't a convenient one, they'll manufacture it. That used to be a crazy notion, but we're seeing it happen again & again.
@krassenstein
Something has BEEN wrong, Brian. At minimum for the last 5 days, when by law he should have gotten security. By tradition he should have had it much sooner. No other legitimate candidate who has asked has ever been denied. Some were not even their party's nominees.
I appreciate
@mhdksafa
THIS is the way you support education & lift people out of poverty to give them a view of a better future. The difference between a handout & a hand up. Significantly, it takes private individuals with honest good intentions to really get something positive done for the world!

@elonmusk
Thank you for the translation, Deborah! Reminds me a bit of the BBC interview where the guy kept badgering with the same question hoping to get an answer he liked. But good replies from Elon, especially pointing out how he'd be far more limited as US president than he is now.
@Rainmaker1973
The eternal feeling of having not quite enough time in the day. Maybe a 25-hour cycle is natural to us, & it's constrained by the rotation of the planet - so we're always out of synch.
@nicksortor
More shady maneuverings. Can states just randomly decide to keep names off their ballots & disenfranchise their population? Isn't this the very voter suppression that Dems are always crying about?
@charliekirk11
Any curtailing of speech that doesn't explicitly call for violence is a violation of the 1st Amendment. People have the right to say awful things. This bill opens the door to silencing criticism of every "protected" group. It will snowball rapidly.
@simonateba
For those put off by his VP choice: I was too. Still wouldn't be my ideal pick. BUT it has the Democrats in a panic, & that's a decided plus!
@jordanbpeterson
I was approached at a store the other day by someone who assumed I worked there. I am not black/brown, but I had a wheeled platform full of stuff and he assumed I was re-stocking. I tried to point him in the right direction anyway. Damn, did I miss an opportunity to be offended?

Mr. Dawkins, my background is in the biological sciences as well. This recent denial of biological facts around sex in a binary species is completely insane to me. I also work with some rare animals & I can vouch 1st hand that if you lose your only breeding male or female, you've

I still can't believe that story from last(?) year didn't get more publicity. Where the California doctor drove his car off a cliff with his family inside, intentionally - & they all survived because it was a Tesla & landed wheel-side down.
@VivekGRamaswamy
Glad he is free! But does this seem timed for the presidential debate on Thursday, just like Biden finally mustered some (inadequate) action on the border so he could claim credit? When he could have taken action a long time ago? Very cynical timing.

@SRuhle
There are people I talk to every day who think Trump will throw all his political rivals into camps, invite Putin to set up shop in Alaska, & just "destroy everything" in a vague all-inclusive prediction. When I ask "How was YOUR life negatively impacted under Trump," they can't

He was a she, in fact, as was learned later. The sailors on one ship deliberately injured her, and after she recovered, she would never guide that particular ship again. But still looked after the others.
@HeidiBriones
Once again it's women, straight & lesbian, who are getting crapped on. From BOTH sides of the political spectrum. It's an even greater betrayal from the left,which claimed to stand for women's rights. Now terms like "non-men,"but men are just men. And wonder why there's backlash?
@simonateba
@WesleyHuntTX
It's only because they know Trump has so much support that they're maneuvering like this. At the same time the DNC arbitrarily changes the rules to prevent a primary challenge to Biden. Disenfranchising voters is the very OPPOSITE of democracy.
