I think twitter's robocensors are still suspending accounts for nebulous crap, alas.

But it was interesting to watch this week, that so many users freaked out at the *prospect* of being on a site that wasn't biased in their favor. Like, welcome to how the rest of us have felt for about a decade!!

"Talking Geraniums Invade Fresno". Good. Let the geraniums invade Fresno. Ever been to Fresneck? The place, literally, smells like shit. I was there for a week because of my job, and that was my first thought getting off the plane? "what the hell is this smell? Did the plane taxi thru shit or what?" Nope, that was Fresno. I get out of my car in Portland, I smell pachouli, moss and weed. Oh, and hobo stank. That's Portland. At least in Portland it rains a lot.

Look, if you vote for Fetterman you're voting for his wife. Admit it. The plan was, is, continues to be for him to be replaced by his wife by the governor... if the governor is a D. I heard that race is close as well. But what if the R guy beats the D guy for Gov, then what? Chaos, and I am all for chaos and shenanigans out in the open. Bring it on.

(I don't know the names of the candidates in PA for Gov., and I don't care enough to look it up, because I don't live there and one thing is absolutely true about ducks: we are hella lazy.)

In these dying days before the election, this is all I can say about Biden: anyone who will lie to you this brazenly, and expect you to nod along like everything is OK, that person has zero respect for you. Also, I absolutely expect violence on next Wednesday morning. I expect it, and a part of me welcomes it. I want my opponents to show their genuine selfs to the world, in all their ugliness. I don't wish for anyone to get hurt, and that is where I hedge. I do not want violence, at all, I want peace. But I know this about Libs/Lefties/Corporate D's: they are the worst of sore losers. Like south american soccer fans. But worse.

Dear Twitter Employee who is now looking for work: Good. Did you really think that you could show off all the finery of working for The Bird, what with fine dining, massages, bands playing, and all that, then expect to still have a job? I don't know who made that post to TikTok, it might not have been you. But that sent the message that you are arrogant and elitist and arrogantly elitist. Everyone is enjoying this moment of schadenfreude.

That's all I got.

"Miss Argentina 2020 Mariana Varela and Miss Puerto Rico 2020 Fabiola Valentin said they got married last month."

This has OnlyFans written all over it.

"John Fetterman can’t hold a spoken conversation"

I was watching the World Series last night and there was a Fetterman commercial on where he sounded pretty together. If you don't know about the Oz Debate, you might be wondering why everyone said he's struggling. My gut says it was either well edited or recorded under super controlled, scripted conditions.

I'm in MD so thought maybe it was regional but a commenter on another forum said he saw it and he's in CA. So it went national. The Dems are pulling out all the stops to keep the Senate.

I don't care about the pageant ladies. Love knows no bounds? Is this 1994? Puh-lease, Troy McClure had a quote about that.

Twitter lay offs. Did the twitters forget the dot com bubble bursting? There's big money to be made in advertising, and the heart of the internet is just another sales mechanism, but anyone who has ever ridden out a corporate take over knows that the new bosses cut costs and only retain productive people. Good gravy, the smart money was on looking for work back when Musk began his buy out bid, sitting tight until you had to make a decision, and working hard to be valuable in the meantime.

Fetterman: My Google Pixel phone can translate Japanese to English in real time, so no idea why Shotgun Frankenstein needs a human to do that job.

Dan Bongino on his show the other day broke down who was getting fired and basically it's going to be the SJW blue-haired censors and not really any of the coders who take the censor's desires and change the code to make it happen. So, basically all the doers are staying and the rent-seekers are going to take a hike.

Can't say I feel too sorry for the Twitter employees who lost their jobs.

Did you see that TikTok video of the person's first days there? Looked like she was walking into a country club!

When do you think the real work got done?

Has anyone - let alone any actual journalist - verified that the person typing out questions to Fetterman isn't also typing out the ANSWERS for him to give?
