The older I get, the more like Mick Foley I look.

Not sure if you've seen the actual post on Barbie Kenposting FB group,but some of the comments are really derogatory
I'm not surprised. There's a lot of shitty people in that group.

I mean, I'm pretty open about being queer. Don't like that I'm being talked about behind my back, though.

ELON MUSK'S GRAND PLAN FOR TWITTER
- Buy it for billions of dollars
- Be so surrounded by crypto and NFT shills and yes men that you start to see Twitter's ordinary users as the real bots
- Scrap the site's pre-existing bot programs bc you were mad a report showed that the site didn't have as much of a bot problem as you thought
- Make impersonation trivial, and let everyone who pays you $5 have all their tweets boosted no matter what
- Make the site a barely functional husk run by a skeleton crew and reduce moderation in the name of free speech
- Have your site flooded with bots, impersonators, and spam
- ???
- Make them pay you $1 as a effort to fix spam, even though most of them already paid $5 for the checkmark that incentivized them to spam
Genius. The real Tony Stark. A pioneer on par with the Wright brothers and Zefram Cochrane. Where do I sign up for my One-Way Ticket to Mars NFT
I love how he's obsessed with fixing bots on Twitter, but not just fixing it, he has to fix it.
A normal person buying a company would react to a report saying the site's bot problem isn't as bad as expected with "oh, great, that frees up resources we don't have to allocate there". He reacted by firing the staff responsible in anger, bc if there weren't millions of bots for him to ban, spending all that money would be a waste. This is the management style of a guy who demands a rescue team ditch their equipment to use his sub midway through, and who said he could fix world hunger then rejected an itemized list of what he could spend money on to end some world hunger bc it wouldn't fix all of it
When Elon bought Twitter, he was given a report saying the bot problem wasn't as bad as he thought. He fired the people responsible and started declaring that he would solve the bot problem
Today, the majority of traffic on Twitter is now bots
It all makes sense, though, when you realize Elon is not only really stupid and bad at everything, but also he didn't even realize the bots on Twitter were bots, bc of course someone who surrounds himself with crypto shills was going to end up seeing the site's normal users as the suspect ones
He literally ran the site into the ground due to an obsessive need to "fix the bot problem", and he ended up creating the worst bot problem in the history of social media, over 73% worse than the next-worst site. And that's before you consider the possibility that big brain genius Elon Musk is trying to fix Twitter's ad revenue problem by making bots that engage with ads. Incredible
Fave part of this, from the story itself, is that the cybersecurity firm monitoring this almost refused to publish the data, bc they didn't believe it could really be that bad
Apparently, before he did all this, the number of bots last year at the same time was...2.81%. That was the number Elon was desperate to fix, and he turned 2% into 75%

another reminder to stop buying/watching/reading anything JK Rowling associated
Every now and then, someone will ask me what it is about pro wrestling that I enjoy, and I think that the best answer I can come up with for that comes down to three points.
1: Consistency. Wrestling is always there. There's always some kind of wrestling on, there's none of this stuff you get with other shows where you sometimes end up waiting a year and a half for the next season, and you can usually even find live events near you in most places too, if you'd prefer that atmosphere.
2: The skill required. People underestimate wrestlers, and the talent it takes to be good at it. Imagine an action movie where every scene has to be filmed in a single take in front of a live audience, including being able to improvise if something goes wrong, or if the amount of time given for a match gets changed due to someone else's segment running too long, or too short... and then going out and doing the same thing a hundred times a year, maybe more. It's not something that just anyone can do.
3: Theatricality. Wrestling is usually a bit over the top, and sometimes, it's even a bit silly, but it's also capable of being incredibly dramatic, to the point where even when you know that the results are all predetermined, you can still end up completely invested in a story to the point where it can have you on the edge of your seat. It's an artform that really does cross a wide variety of genres and it'll almost always keep you guessing.

I just wanted to take a minute to let everyone know some unfortunate news. I lost Mr. Slash today. He'd been sick for a while, and after a visit to the vet, it seemed like he was slowly recovering, but overnight, his health rapidly declined. He was my big special boy and one of my very best friends, and I'm going to really take some time to get used to him not being here anymore.
He's going to be commemorated with a Camellia bush, if I can find a way to grow one.
