Life After the Biosphere Collapse, May 2023

Musk's opening comments, before any negotiations started:

"...Unrealistic to think Trump will return to his 2014 level of loyalty at this point."

Nah, I lowered my cholesterol by becoming vegetarian and doing crossword puzzles.

The character of the Grinch was given a backstory of being a lonely orphan, forgotten on Christmas (spoilers). He is even able to admit loneliness in the dialogue of the movie, which I didn’t remember the original or the Carrey version doing.

So, “th[at] animated film…humanized [the Grinch]”

Wonder Twins Media?

Trump taps “guy who spins the Chinese restaurant sign on 6th Ave” as Ambassador to Taiwan.

People heard you were showing footnotes for free and misunderstood.

Mike’s Hard Cancer Meds

Out of context “removes bots” sounds like they’re playing for the future.

What other flavors would horses love?!

The animated film where Benedict Cumberbatch played him did a lot to “humanize” him.

Now he just needs to go on Dancing with the Stars and all will be forgiven.

Cash App Patel wants to send 7,000 FBI agents to the border to play red rover and catch the bad guys.

How novel, in the days of RTTO, to offer so many people remote work?!

What do you need 7,000 people for? “Go be cops.”

NYPD:

Meant it sarcastically 😞

At least they’ll attack via hot air balloons.

Would love to see the “managing organizations” get their folks set up. Like @Lizzo.atlanticrecords.com

Sports agents, news sites, etc could do it too. It’d be advertising and authority for them.

The artist still retains the account, too, if they leave.

We went from “tweets” to “skeets” and “toots”? Yeesh.

Can we just “post”?

Tyson ain’t playing around with intros. He brought 55% of a shirt and a bad attitude.

“Double-click”

(by execs wanting to dig deeper into a topic, unaware that nothing gets double-clicked anymore).

RIP your conversion KPI

Starter packs and curated feeds are huge bonuses here. As are custom moderation options.

Like rancid water frozen by their own hearts, they will try to find every crack in this democracy to destroy it from within.

I think he wants to pipe news articles into a dummy user account so we don’t have to wait for the authors to join (or, I guess, for anyone else who may have read it to join and/or post a link).

I thought it was alright...until I actually heard all the lyrics. It's now my favorite one.

gm to VNDLs on perilous journeys

I've had some trouble with selections that are too small, where it just returned me nothing in the selection (Effectively erased it, but I had a prompt). Any ideas?
