Just about 33 years ago in this month I watched a wall fall without a shot fired that night. Interesting times  can be good.

Dear Mr. D. Troy:

Above is a blog I read on November 7th, 2022.
I feel you should be aware that some dumbf*ck is using your name on sh*tty blogs.

Very truly yours,

Just learned I was banned on Twitter.  Hilarious.  I thought it was pretty obvious I was a parody account.

He takes the side of invaders in war, but that was already the reason the world fears American control of media, in general. It's how Musk can afford to simply gift a Tesla to everyone in South America, or Australia and the Pacific, and yet instead he chose to buy Twitter and be a farker, that suggests he is trily vile scum, and will support not jsut the invader in every war, but the invader of every body, the invader of every priate space, the invader that defaces every book and artwork. He wiil trun twitter into a book burning fact mulching technology, and into a technology for invading privacy everywhere - not just surveillance but direct invasion, like every teeange girl in some countries will have old men from around the world tweeting at them and it can't be shut off.

The way Americans talk about THEIR election, as if no other election is going to be ratfarked by Musk's blue checkmarks, is a bit horrifying. I realize that Americans are the first for him to experiement on so yeah, it is scary shiat, legit! But what about the uproar over Twitter in Turkey, Romania, Uganda, South Africa, India, Pakistan, Nigeria, where Musk will gladly throw voters to the wolves and support the most corrupt men who can enslave the most coltan miners? Where are the Twitter employees who care about that?!

Great point. The Australian (as opposed to Austrian) equivalent was around the same time the (effectively fascist) state government in Queensland under the weird rule of Sir Joh Bjielke-Petersen fell too. This was a government which banned gatherings of more than three people as this was a "protest" and was elected with about 30% of the vote due to rural seats of a few thousand residents electing their local MP like seats in Brisband with 60,000 voters electing a single MP, it was a gerrymander way beyond even the US Republicans' dream. To this day this method is taught in universities as pretty much the perfect way to democratically elect a fascist despite the popular vote.

The point is simply that democracy is in the hands of the powerful who might or might not respect the will of the actual voters. Vote for people who have regard for the will of the people is the simple solution. Doing otherwise will fark you right up.

If he wasn't rich he'd be screaming racial epithets on XBox and complaining that Mom didn't buy more Hot Pockets.

To be fair, I got banned from Twitter about 6 months ago for insulting conservative anti vaxxers.

Both are cesspools.

The SpaceX stuff is cool and really accelerated our ability to put stuff into space. By itself that's admirable, as was the mainstreaming of EVs.

But wow has the guy's ego outrun his smarts.  Psychology doctorate candidates are going to write volumes about this public meltdown.

Okay... now this is something we need to stop perpetuating.

Now this quote may seem like I'm contradicting myself but it's snake eating it's own tail sh*t.
