RIP Twitter

[DC_Vol]

The big unanswered question for me is why so many people are upset and ready to leave Twitter because EM now owns it. What has he done that they find so offensive?

Have you seen the list of books being banned?

Not all of these books are extolling "liberal talking points".

"Out of Darkness" by Ashley Hope Perez was banned in 16 Texas school districts just because it depicted an interracial romance between a black teenage boy and a Mexican-American girl in the 1930's... and it had the audacity to detail some prejudice that they encountered - from both blacks and whites.

Evidently, this is considered "white shaming" by conservatives now.

Dr Seuss says hi.

Good lord... this is the 4th time I've had to say this :

A social media echo chamber pertains to the platform's content, and what is allowed or not allowed. Your statistic does not address content at all. In an echo chamber dissenting points of view are not tolerated...

Well stop stop cruising for encounters.

Echo Bay
Echo Cove
Echo Culdesac
Echo Space

You guy love re-naming things. Any of those tickle you?

How does that mean I think twitter is going to start censoring liberals?

I’ll walk you through the logical reasoning:

- premise: the “right” doesn’t believe Twitter should be able to censor conservatives
- active conversation is about Elon musk purchasing Twitter
- you responded to a poster that supplied a tweet saying Musk and his cronies are saying go elsewhere
- in that response you said: “Has the right here flipped flopped back to private companies being able to do what they want with their business?”

My conclusion was you were validating what was in the tweet. Maybe my conclusion was wrong. Maybe you were just trollling.

Seems reasonable to me, but I’m open to be corrected. I don’t run around attributing things to you at random. No need to play the VN victim.

Yea, its a little explicit for public school

Take her out back, we boys figured, then: hand on the titties; put it in her coin box; put it in her cornhole; grab a hold of that braid; rub that calico.

What does this have to do with white people??? @BowlBrother85

 

[85SugarVol]

So he bought an underperforming company, at a premium, for spite.

What could possibly go wrong.

Another @lawgator1 prediction.

Somebody go ahead and put it up on the board.

It was two tweets and one of them was about "private companies" and then I made a point about "private companies" so I was talking about the other tweet, not the one about going elsewhere.

It's weird that the two tweets are held up together, as if one contradicts the other.

Dr Seuss says hi.

What you're talking about is not a good example of cancel culture.

Last October, some select works of Dr. Seuss were pulled from circulation by the executors of his estate... This was not initiated by liberals in a book banning drive; but instead, a decision made by the people who own the publishing rights to those works. There is a big difference.

the $44 bil that Elon spent will be worth about tree fiddy after another year of bidinFlation

 

[Boston Vol]

Don’t forget, all of this started because Twitter decided to suspend the Babylon Bee’s account.

Talk about dead in the water.

Lol

It was pressure by the left casuing them to decide to pull those works...so its pressure by the right to cause the school boards to choose pulls those books....big difference is we are not asking for them to be removed from circulation just not placed in public school libraries..

well, technically 975 million.... if we need to start being precise:

I wonder if he will pay his fair share.

You’re right.

You’re also talking to the people that think Tesla is a car company, so….

 

[85SugarVol]

Was he banned?

Quick..where is the LG Demise of Tucker thread? LOL

Well, you don't have to take my word for it, dumb a$$.

Dr. Seuss Enterprises Will Shelve 6 Books, Citing 'Hurtful' Portrayals

Those 6 books that Dr. Seuss Enterprises pulled from circulation are his most obscure works, which most people had probably never heard of before this was announced. This wasn't the result of some outside pressure. They did it to themselves. That's not cancel culture.

Sure it is..Self inflicted Wokeness. Decades old children books that upset current day feelz. Cant say as a child or now adult anything portrayed gave anyone a sense of anything negative. Cartoons at that.
