Elon Musk set up a livestream with Alex, Andrew Tate and Vivek Ramaswamy (I know). and Vivek took a piss in the middle of it without muting, giving new meaning to the term 'livestreaming'. Here is the link if you want to laugh: https://www.businessinsider.com/vivek-ramaswamy-forgot-mute-bathroom-x-livestream-musk-jones-tate-2023-12

Who knew that there would come a day when the question you use to ask about Twitter, "How long can they continue given they have no real system to make money" would seem quaint and meaningless.

I find myself baffled by the "Globalists want to kill off 99 percent of the world's population."

Who's going to be left behind to operate the power plants, sewage treatment plants, farm food, repair cars, work in hospitals, and teach the kids of the remaining one percent?

It reminds me of the episode of "South Park" where Eric Cartman inherits a vast sum of money and uses it to buy a failing amusement park. His intention is to have his own private amusement park.

His theory runs into a problem when he has to hire security guards, cleaners, and the like. To pay their salaries, he has to let in increasing numbers of people.

So he can't ride the Tilt-A-Whirls and rollercoasters by himself, as the place is increasingly jammed with people.

He winds up selling it back to the original owner, who can now make money off of it again, but can't keep his inheritance...Uncle Sam wants half, and the local authorities want the other half for the fees, taxes, and permits connected to the amusement park.

Cartman loses again.

Do these people REALLY BELIEVE that 99 percent of the world's population will get killed so that some mysterious one percent will enjoy some undefined Nirvana? Or is it just grifting?

I vote for the latter.

Good googly mooglies, that press release about the flat earth debate actually had me admiring Greg Locke! Only for a brief moment, of course, but it was unsettling nonetheless.

How is that piece of shit not living in a walkup apartment and driving a 2010 Corolla? That's all the money and income he should be allowed. Rip every single penny above that out of his pockets and give it to his victims, whom he is openly boasting about stiffing.

I'd rather see Jones living in a van down by the river.

I wonder if all this means Jones can be sued AGAIN (by other parents) for lying about Sandy Hook? I sure liked how it turned out the first time!

Now we need people who believed him about Sandy Hook to sue him for fraud. I imagine that lawsuit would be much more fun.

I find it absolutely hilarious that Flat Earth is gaining momentum in conservative circles. I mean, it's incredibly distressing and depressing, but if I am going to keep on living and seeing the world around me, I have no choice but to laugh at these goobers.

I belong to a historical society that has "Credo Quia Absurdum" as our motto. Sorta kinda loosely translated, it means "I believe because it is absurd".

Jebus. It was a joke, people!

By the way - speaking of conspiracy theories, remember how all the QAnon Cretins were sure that apparent whackjob/exposer of all bad government things James Yoo was not in his house when it was blown to Kingdom Come? And that some "James Yoo" Youtube account promised a nuclear false flag/big reveal on December 7? And that all the QAnon cretins were...nah, I've already said it one too many times. No more allusions to their sexual impotency!

Anyway, December 7th came and went. I checked the QAnon Cretin board and I know you're not going to believe this, but they totally ignored the lack of blockbuster information!

I have to say that, when the term popped up in this article, my first thought was QAnon? Is that even still a thing? I mean, I realize some folks have latched onto that harder than a chihuahua onto a chicken bone and with even greater determination not to let that sucker go, but it still seems like they had their moment in the sun and the media cycle has since moved on.

I hate to say it, but it is THE thing. QAnon is the base of the GOP. PAB is full-on QAnon - he promotes it/them often on his Fake Twitter Thing.

Just this morning, Tucker Carlson announced his new venture (a pay-to-listen-streaming site) and its logo? A red pill. If you don't know, "red pilling" is the term QAnon Cretins use to describe convincing people (so-called "normies") to come around to their idiotic way of thinking.

So not only is QAnon still a thing, it's taking over the GOP - probably already effectively has, to be frank.

So the moon? Also flat? Jupiter which you can see 4 moons of with just binoculars? Those are all flat?

Cool thing I once saw at the 10,000 ft visitor center on Mauna kea. Had telescopes out for folks to use. I had a nice one focused on Jupiter and its moons. One started to look kind of out of focus. Kept watching and over a period of about 15 minutes I realized that what I was seeing was two moons in occultation slowly emerging as they orbited. Actually watching an astronomical event change in real time was thrilling

That would mean they (we?) would be killing all but 78 million people, which is less than 1/3 of the United States, and a only few million fewer people than there are in Germany. And to what end? General evil?

To what end?? It’s obviously so we can get Taylor Swift tickets the next time around.

I was very entertained by the “poll” Musk conducted in which 70% of the respondents thought AJ should come back! Does he even grok the concept of statistical bias? When you are asking horrible people whether they support something horrible happening, you are going to get the result one would expect.

Reed's avatar

He does know that the poll isn't statistically valid. He just doesn't care. You assume he actually cares what the folks who voted in it think. He doesn't. He just does what he does to raise his own public profile. Don't assume that people like this follow, or even care about following, the rules they supposedly set out for themselves (like being a "free speech absolutist"). They don't. It's all about shaping their personal narrative in the public eye. They will do whatever is best for that task at the time they make the choice. That is all it has ever been about.

You're also assuming that the poll wasn't rigged to back up what he planned to do all along, which it very easily could've been by someone in Musk's position.

Doesn’t even have to be “rigged”…when you know that the only people who will respond are people who think like you…

Remember when he did the poll asking whether he should step down as CEO(?) of Twitter, then the majority said yes, and he ignored it? I think that's when he decided only suck up blue checks would be able to vote in polls.

I have a Twitter account but don't tweet. Never have; I just got one to save my name.

But any place that allows the worst human in America to post his vile stuff is a place in which I will never, ever participate.
