I started to quietly tear up. She couldn’t see my face and I didn’t make a sound, but she said,
“Don’t cry. It’s okay.”
and then everyone else is clowning on it.

The source of something can spread long after the original context is lost. I was seeing "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" memes for 6 months before I saw that god awful Darth Vader scene in "Revenge of the Shit."

I must be doing something wrong: Musk just followed me.
He hardly follows anyone, that is quite an achievement!
Turns out it was just a "parody" (read: fraudulent) account.

Elon Musk’s X illegally fired employee who publicly challenged return-to-work plans, NLRB alleges
KEY POINTS
Elon Musk’s X broke the law in firing an employee who criticized the company’s return-to-work policy, the National Labor Relations Board alleged in a complaint.
Musk allegedly told Twitter employees “If you can physically make it to an office and you don’t show up, resignation accepted.”
Several workers expressed “concern and outrage” over the directive to return to the office immediately, according to the legal charge.
I'm trying a new thing where I'm blocking all blue checks who just troll with agitprop.

Less than useless, actively spreading misinformation.
Elon Musk’s X hits a tipping point, with widespread condemnation of misinformation about Hamas’ attack on Israel flooding the platform Journalists, experts, and users of X blast Musk and CEO Linda Yaccarino’s policies as making the platform worse than useless
According to disinformation experts and multiple news reports, the deluge of misinformation on Elon Musk’s social media platform X about Hamas’ attack on Israel was caused by changes that he made to the platform since taking over.
These changes included reshaping the platform’s approach to content moderation, making drastic cuts to its trust and safety team, reinstating banned accounts, allowing any user to purchase a verification checkmark, and amplifying posts from these “verified” accounts to other users.
The misinformation problem on the site is so extreme that numerous journalists and experts are warning that X (formerly known as Twitter) is now useless as a reliable source of information in a crisis.
