To Lukoil, of course.

Not Gazprom, those wankers. Lukoil. Beacon of . . y’know . . freedom or some shit. When the state-managed privately-run petroleum conglomerate buys your country’s main search engine, you know it’s a bad day.

Typically that’s called manslaughter

IBM, also one of X’s biggest advertisers, announced it would stop advertising on X Thursday. The company made the decision in response to a report by liberal watchdog Media Matters that found both IBM and Apple’s ads running alongside hate speech. Musk called Media Matters an “evil organization” in response.

Whoever’s job it is to keep a dart gun trained on him, you might want to make sure it’s loaded. Dude’s crackin’.

They’ve admitted it a lot. Where are you getting that disinformation?

Well trying to find an actual statement is more difficult than I remember, but that could partially be due to Google ongoing enshittification. I did find this in a TIME article about the “IBM and the Holocaust” book from 2001:

Of course, not everyone agrees with Seltzer’s assessment — least of all IBM. Last week, the company released a statement: “If this book points to new and verifiable information that advances understanding of this tragic era, IBM will examine it and ask that appropriate scholars do the same.” But company spokespeople insist that Black’s allegations are not new, that historians have long been aware that the Nazis used IBM’s tabulating machines. And, spokespeople insist, the company is paying for its mistakes: IBM Germany, formerly Dehomag, has already paid into Germany’s government-sponsored initiative to compensate citizens forced to work for the Nazis.

I thought there was a lot more public acknowledgement though, and it’s hard to find. So - 50%?

“Democrats should bail them out again”

Nope. Remember the orange rapist they cheered into a gruesome idiotic coup attempt? Yeah and Dems should help them?

NO. WE’RE CLOSED. Red state idiot bastards. Don’t want to get the shit shocked out of you, quit sticking a knife in the socket. No? BZZZT. This is not that difficult.

They’re destroying institutions and defying science. That is their only purpose. They have no other common goals. We should not help them at all.

Oh yeah, that’s not a problem. They were never serious.

I mean, arguably in the 50’s or something. But since Reagan it’s been a screeching clownwreck of disaster up until this very day.

No need!

Totally agree that huge social media systems need to be understood as disproportionately affecting misinformation. I don’t know anything about Telegram, though.

Are the pushback people fReEzE PeAChErs or something? Is Telegram just lovely? Dunno.

Two of these are not being pulverized by a nuclear power at the moment.

aAAaaaaahhhhhhhhhh-AHH!

aAAaaaaahhhhhhhhhh-AHH!

The standard model today holds that “normal” matter — the stuff that makes up people and planets and everything else we can see — constitutes only about 4 percent of the universe. The rest is invisible stuff called dark matter and dark energy (roughly 27 percent and 68 percent).

Please use different words - possibly “clear matter” or “invisible matter” and “invisible energy”. It’s so sad when conceptual hurdles are put in place by poorly implemented terminology. It’s fixable, and easily done so . . .

This is getting posted a lot which is too bad because it’s worse than useless.

Do people not understand how technically useless 80% of users are? They CAN NOT REMEMBER THEIR PASSWORDS. (No, they didn’t write them down. Password management software? lol.)

I’m saying the height of their technical ability is to remember their password. And we want them to switch platforms, away from a fascist right-wing brainwashing troll factory to- what is it called again?

Yeah. It needs a guide with this title, but actually useful. Well-written, with the context that people reading it are already well above and beyond in making an effort.

Why are so many people still on Xitter? I have a fucking idea.

I wanted one once. Now it seems like the embodiment of the most entitled, cynical, ostentatious bullshit humanity could possibly devise at this time.

Tesla Board, you might want to ruminate on that.

We have excellent news for you
