X -Where Twitter goes to die.

[Foggy]

Now might be the best time to scale up Fogbow for the world stage.

Twitter is just Fogbow on steroids, with worser moderation is all.

Who here has Jeff Bezos's phone number?

Edit: I suppose Rupar did some tweets about Musk or Twitter or both, and it pissed Musk off. Thin-skinned mofo.

Oh man, what a loss. That must have just happened, I think I looked at his Twitter page an hour or so ago.

How long will Acyn last?

I remember when you could say bad things about Jack Dorsey on Twitter and not get banned.

Donie osullivan who would cover conspiracy theorists.

Donie? Jeebus, 's getting real.

This is what the mousie talks about.

When you're an attention whore, you have to do (and say) increasingly insane things to get more attention. And then you have to do something even MORE insane.

Or, in other words, his cheese done slid right off his cracker.

[pipistrelle]

OMG, Aaron Rupar? That's surreal, man. You know that guy didn't do anything banworthy.

Yeah; he’s one of my favorites too.

[Foggy]

Double posting.

Look at the post above this one, and the one before that [in the other thread]. (Thank you, New Turtle and Kendra.) That's what we're losing because of Elon Freakin' Musk. In the future, we at the Fogbow will not have access to important information like this on Twitter. We're gonna have to try to find all the information we thrive and survive upon on other sites. We're going to lose Twitter, and I hope we can be ready. We're gonna follow Mastodon. Post. Whatever else we need to do. If'n we have to compartmentalize, that's a five syllable word, so obviously we'll have to have at least five compartments in the ... uh, in the group. Yeah. Moving forward into the 21st century is what we do here. I don't anticipate any problems.

Gawd this irks me….
The world’s richest man… That in itself is stupendous— his auto company became more highly valued than other large scale manufacturers with decades of expertise in challenging situations and huge varieties of successes (and failures to learn from). With little infrastructure that exists in the real physical world, it is more valuable than real companies?
Same with Facebook, etc.
So, these schmucks who seem to have few morals or ethics (especially the Bitcoin guy) are basically sociopaths (too strong a term, but what comes to mind)… so they don’t follow the social and business and financial norms and get rewarded with wealth and influence.
They exhibit narcissistic disorder. Humans seem to love narcissists. It’s an odd inherited proclivity of our Stone Age brains. History is replete with examples.
So, Captain Dunning-Krueger Musk is a prime example of this.
I’ve been struggling with trying to really understand this.
I have read a few tomes studying human logic and ethics from an evolutionary basis and the TLDR is: we’re fucked.
The new age of Social Media and Global interactions facilitate bad actors.
I wish I could offer actual implentational answers.
Everything I have considered, and even got paid to mature a kernel of an idea of… is pissing into the wind.
The reason I tend to look to evolutionary biology is that if an answer exists, it will be one that taps into who we are as humans and insists that there must (really) be guardrails on “free speech” because of our inherent root level inability (as a species) to understand that little small rules and actions are the reality of what can work at larger scale. And, these sociopaths (my choice of term) should be squelched.
Sigh…

The data has confirmed all of our suspicions: one in five chief executives are psychopaths. At least, that’s what was found by a recent study of 261 senior corporate professionals in the United States.

What exactly is a psychopath? Webster’s Dictionary defines the condition as “a person who is mentally ill, who does not care about other people, and who is usually dangerous or violent and affected with antisocial personality disorder.” Yeah, that pretty much describes me on some days…and my entire client base most of the time!

“Typically psychopaths create a lot of chaos and generally tend to play people off against each other,” Nathan Brooks, a forensic psychologist and the lead researcher of the study said in this report from The Telegraph. “For psychopaths, it [corporate success] is a game and they don’t mind if they violate morals. It is about getting where they want in the company and having dominance over others.”

Maybe someone can let the South African know that freedom of the press is co-equal to speech in the First Amendment in our country.

I visited Twitter and got this:

You may think that's the wrong graphic. It isn't.

NFT profile pictures is a new thing on Twitter.

[Dr. Ken]

[Foggy]

Oh god, now I'm gonna get mah poor, poor, delicate fee-fees all hurt if'n Elon doesn't personally ban me from Twitter.

Twitter has had the beehive-NFT thing going for a while now. It was a fad for five minutes several months back when people were bragging about their vastly overpriced cartoon ape pictures, and looking for some way to advertise to people how special they were because they had an overpriced cartoon ape picture but no really great way to brag about it.

I have to admit - whenever I saw an actual hexagon profile picture, my brain instinctively quoted Bill Engvall.
