yeah... his fallback excuse will be that stupid poll to bring back everyone.... but that was clearly such a bad move. I remember hearing how crypto currencies were a great way to make people relearn why we have regulated banking. Elon is kind of doing that with Twitter... a big public demonstration of why absolute free speech is not a good idea and why it's never really existed... I accurately predicted all of this would happen as did many others... I'm proud to be right but also aggravated this is dominating the news cycle still along with Kanye's absurd behavior. I really, REALLY wish American news would stop giving so much time to wackos.

We went through this on Usenet when Dave Hayes created his "free.*" hierarchy because "alt.sex.aluminum.baseball.bat" wasn't anarchy enough.

1. Is he going to forget the unicorns again?

2. Not a MAGA hat in the crowd.

Elon Musk has reportedly starting outfitting Twitter's offices with beds forming spartan bedrooms, where his most hardcore tweeps can sleep now. Some employees are pissed, because the bedrooms were just installed without discussion or information upfront.

Others just say it makes sense since many employees are already working overtime there and staying at night, and it is clearly better than sleeping on the floor using a sleeping bag like some employees did before.

It beats sleeping under a desk after consuming day-old pizza and a gallon of Tab. Kids today don't remember the glory of code development. But Twitter is not a startup software company is it.

I stole a couple of padded shipping blankets from the shipping department for when I had to work overnight.
