People should be asking why the "purveyor of free speech" (@elonmusk) has turned off community notes on his account, so people can't correct his misguided conspiracy theories.

Not content with DeSantis getting all the glory, Elmo launches lawfare against Disney for firing a wack job.

Please let us know if you would like to join the lawsuit against Disney

Today is an important day for me--I am filing a lawsuit against @lucasfilm & @Disney


After my 20 years of building a career from scratch, and during the regime of former Disney CEO Bob Chapek, Lucasfilm made this statement on Twitter, terminating me from The Mandalorian: “Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm & there are no plans for her to be in the future. Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural & religious identities are abhorrent & unacceptable.”

Nothing could be further from the truth. The truth is I was being hunted down from everything I posted to every post I liked because I was not in line with the acceptable narrative of the time. My words were consistently twisted to demonize & dehumanize me as an alt right wing extremist. It was a bullying smear campaign aimed at silencing, destroying & making an example out of me.

The thing is I never even used aggressive language. I shared thought provoking quotes, pictures, memes & occasionally I used my own words, not with aggression but with respect & the occasional comedy to keep the mood light in dark times.

Look with your own eyes at what I posted and ask yourself, for example, where did I compare Republicans to the Jewish people in the holocaust? I didn’t. Ask yourself why they were calling me a racist, was there any merit behind that or history of it whatsoever? No. Look at why I was called a transphobe--for making droid noises from Star Wars? “Beep, bop, boop” was obviously directed to the online bullies and did not in any way denigrate transgender people.

Were my questions about masks, lockdowns & forced vaccines ok to ask & push the subject into the light? Should we have been allowed to publicly discuss those topics at that time without being harassed or censored? Absolutely.

Hollywood says they support female representation & equal rights. Why then were my male co-stars permitted to speak without harassment & re-education courses or termination, but I was not afforded the same right to exercise my freedom of speech.

Artists do not sign away our rights as American citizens when we enter into employment. I have spoken to all my co-stars since I was fired & there is nothing but care and kind words between us. I respect their right to free speech & do not have to think the same on every issue to be their friends & work with them & I know they feel the same towards me.

A couple months ago @ElonMusk tweeted that if you had been fired from using the platform (X) for exercising your right to free speech, he would like to offer these people legal representation. Quite the noble offer, but never in my wildest dreams would I have thought anyone would take on my case against Lucasfilm/Disney. Still, I did respond back “I think I qualify” & thousands of people agreed--but I did not expect anything.

To my surprise, a few months ago I received an email from a lawyer who had been hired by X to look into my story & many others. Turns out after sending them as much information as I could gather these past few months, my now lawyers & X believe whole-heartedly in my case & are moving forward.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude & thank you to @ElonMusk & @X for giving me an opportunity to bring my case to light.

As for me, I would love to pick up where I left off & continue my journey of creating & participating in story-telling, which is my utmost passion & everything I worked so hard for. It has been difficult to move forward with the lies & labels stuck on me, backed & encouraged by the most powerful entertainment company in the world. I am grateful someone has come to my defense in such a powerful way & look forward to clearing my name.

Thank you to all the people who have supported me & made your voices heard. I pray God blesses each & every one of you.

With love,

Gina Carano

Lucasfilm in 2021 announced that Carano will not be returning to the hit series after sharing a post implying that being a Republican is like being Jewish during the Holocaust. It was the latest in a long string of posts in which the former MMA fighter drew the ire of social media users for her right-wing positions on hot-button issues. Carano, who was dropped by UTA following the controversy, previously mocked government mandates to wear masks during the COVID-19 pandemic and falsely suggested that voter fraud occurred during the 2020 presidential election.

If you were discriminated against by Disney or its subsidiaries (ABC, ESPN, Marvel, etc), just reply to this post to receive legal support

An anonymous source just sent me this from Disney. It is mandatory, institutionalized racism and sexism!

Yeah, right, Elmo. “The check’s in the mail, ad nauseum”.

So when X (formerly known as Twitter) goes Down for some reason, how will Musk contact the techs responsible in order to to fire them?

I mean, at least Elmo is keeping his feud against Disney classy.

Elmo thinks highly of himself.

Which path, Western World?

[pipistrelle]

I think I've seen that before.

Lately I've been followed by many accounts with photos of scantily clad women and no profile or tweets, but that like random replies of mine to other accounts. Bots been busy.

Oh, yeah, a tweet from an account that looked vaguely familiar was being promoted on twitter; a lot of people said it showed up on their timelines. The tweeter said the Hur report was making her switch her vote from Biden to tfg. Turns out I didn't see it because I'd blocked that account. An account where the pinned tweet (for months) was all about the account's support for tfg. But the account holder isn't likely to have a vote to switch anyway-the profile photo is a stock photo from a Russian agency. But it remains a popular account.

Shocked that he makes it an X vs Meta binary and doesn't include Truth Social.

Oh, wait, nevermind. Not shocked. He doesn't believe in non-binary matters.

Truth Social censors the crap out of everything, fwiw. Technically you can't even curse over there, although "f#$k trump" will get removed, but "f#$k biden" won't.

Go figure.

Talk about an echo chamber, that place is a deep cave.

That happened to me back in November. Back then I posted:

Lately I have picked up at least 50 followers who follow thousands of people but have maybe 10 followers. I'm talking several a week. Most of the accounts have sexy women as their avatar. I'm pretty sure they are bots who want me to "follow back". (I never follow back unless I like what those people are tweeting or retweeting.)

I think it was last year when my Instagram account (where I think I've never posted a single thing) was discovered by the OnlyFans girls and I was suddenly inundated by followers. I finally ended up locking my account down where people couldn't follow me. I follow maybe 100 people and organizations on that account, mostly having to do with audio electronics and music. I could never figure out how I drew the attention of the OnlyFans crowd.

All they need is to find an older gentleman they think they can sweettalk into sending them gift cards, and it's highly probably the pretty girls aren't the people doing the texting. For lack of a better term, Nigerian Princes are now stealing photos of pretty girls to con gullible older men. Not anyone here, of course. You just got rounded up in the dragnet. I'm referring to suckers like trump followers.

And the same thing happens to us women. The only difference I can see is that when they target older women, they use age-appropriate stolen profiles. When they go after older men, they use the sexy young things.

When Hubs was sick, I tagged him in Facebook so his friends could get updates. After he died, many of them sent me friend requests. After they'd piled up, I went through and approved them, accidentally letting a scammer in. No more than five minutes later, he started creep texting me and sending requests to my friends. I was busy so even though I heard the notification bell, I hadn't paid attention. Then a friend wrote me to tell me this scammer/friend of mine was requesting approval from them. They may have found you through one of your friends.

We suspect something like that happened with my FIL on Facebook. My MIL passed away in July, and then last fall "Joyce" was supposed to be coming out to visit from the UK over Christmas. Then there were a bunch of excuses, and when we looked at her FB profile, it was an obvious fake. Don't think he's out for much more than a plane ticket, but we're going to keep a closer eye on things. (I think "she" tagged him via a legitimate hobby page, so he wasn't as careful as he might otherwise have been, but he was rather skeptical that she would actually show up, so even he picked up that something was off)

X accused of taking payments from terrorists

Elon Musk's X, formerly Twitter, granted subscription perks to designated terrorist groups and others barred from operating in the US, according to campaigners.

The Tech Transparency Project (TTP) found X had granted blue check marks to accounts tied to Hezbollah members, among others.
For $8 (£6.40) a month, a tick allows longer posts and better promotion.
X removed some ticks after the report, saying its security was "robust".
Mr Musk's decision to charge for check marks was one of the most controversial changes he made after he bought Twitter in 2022, with critics saying the move would make issues of disinformation worse, opening the platform to impersonators.

The majority of traffic from Elon Musk's X may have been fake during the Super Bowl, report suggests
These numbers are legitimately shocking.
By Matt Binder on February 16, 2024

This week, Super Bowl 2024 shattered records, with the NFL championship broadcast on CBS becoming the most-watched televised event in U.S. history.

Also riding high from the big game? Elon Musk's X. The company formerly known as Twitter published its own press release, lauding Super Bowl LVIII as one of the biggest events ever on the social media platform with more than 10 billion impressions and over 1 billion video views.

However, it appears that a significant portion of that traffic on X could be fake, according to data provided to Mashable by CHEQ, a leading cybersecurity firm that tracks bots and fake users.

According to CHEQ, a whopping 75.85 percent of traffic from X to its advertising clients' websites during the weekend of the Super Bowl was fake.

"I've never seen anything even remotely close to 50 percent, not to mention 76 percent," CHEQ founder and CEO Guy Tytunovich told Mashable regarding X's fake traffic data. "I'm amazed…I've never, ever, ever, ever seen anything even remotely close."

I am proud to say that my daughter was an associate at the firm that force fed Twitter to Musk. (She's now clerking for one of the U.S. Courts of Appeal.)
