I find it very strange (but not necessarily surprising) that "free speech absolutist" Elon Musk goes out of his way to derank and warn on any post that uses the word "cis" or "cisgender" because Elon doesn't like trans people, but he's completely fine with people using the "N" word in their tweets.

Twitter/X making Likes private has been a boon for spammers.

I thought this article was interesting; it's about the Stanford Internet Observatory, a group dedicated to trying to flag misinformation on the internet. They got attacked and harassed by right-wingers and were eventually shut down.

Oh my God. Tell me this is a joke. This is so cringey and bad, I almost can't believe it.

LOL, oops. Has there been a more botched car rollout in recent history? This is the Boeing 737 Max of cars.

The scary thing is that when Tesla recalls them, they just leave your driveway without warning and self-drive to the nearest dealer. You wake up in in the morning and they are gone!

So, the world's richest man believes that if you don't vote for a bill that makes something that is already illegal illegal again, you should be literally executed. These violent Republicans are getting scarier as the likelihood of Trump's win goes up.

Are non-citizens actually voting? How many?
Re: Social media
In some places they can vote in local elections only. If you ask Maga, all of them are voting twice in every election.
In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.

Re: Social media
This is such a telling statement from the CEO of CNN's parent company. He says he doesn't care who wins the Presidential election, so long as they work on "deregulation" (which is clearly something Republicans talk about wanting a lot). He's basically saying he wants Trump to win because he thinks it'll help CNN's parent company's business.

Elon is now donating to Trump.
Re: Social media
What was that article from a year or two ago? Something like "Some say Elon Musk is conservative. It's not so simple." Yeah, um, it seems pretty simple to me. He's a Republican, a Trump supporter. And he's throwing the weight of his billions of dollars behind getting Trump re-elected. With the influence he wields due to the Twitter platform and his own Twitter account, I'm concerned for his ability to skew information flow during the days leading up to the election.

I have been receiving a crapload of Republican text messages asking for money and to take a poll. I Blocked them all. I must have 100 blocked numbers by now.
