Oh Alex, regarding the porn twitter, you do know your search history is forever with your VPN, right? Don't be surprised when The Atlantic's next hit piece reference contains a "leak" from a concern citizen about your search history.
Agrawal, who has been in charge of Twitter for only four months, told employees not to expect big changes before the deal closes, which is set to happen before the end of this year. He also said that “ there are no plans for any layoffs at this point" and that Twitter's remote work policies will continue until the deal closes.
That censorship-loving wokester will be out of a job soon. Right now, there's crazy stuff going on at Twitter. I've seen people talking about men with a penis can't be women, Election Theft 2020 and all manner of things that would get you banned.
The deal may not be complete but the impact is already being felt. I don't appear to be shadow banned and deboosted anymore. Others are reporting significant increases in their followers "returning."
Can't speak for Alex and his lawyers but soon enough there will be discussions on how to end his case and Twatter ban.
Agreed, Twitter last night was already very different. Lots of "test" tweets with no warning banner even after hours had passed. People welcoming a sudden influx of followers, others appearing in my feed after weeks of not seeing them and announcing they no longer appear to be shadow banned. I don't know how or why but some things changed immediately.
Anyone remember back in the days when Hollywood made original well written movies that were inspiring? I always liked this line from the movie "The American President" with Michael Douglas playing the role of President:
"America isn't easy. America is advanced citizenship. You've got to want it bad, because it's gonna put up a fight. It's gonna say, "You want free speech? Let's see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil who is standing center stage and advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours. You want to claim this land as the 'land of the free'? Then the symbol of your country cannot just be a flag. The symbol also has to be one of its citizens exercising his right to burn that flag in protest. Now show me that, defend that, celebrate that in your classrooms. Then you can stand up and sing about the 'land of the free.'"
Yes! It's difficult to find anything I want to watch. They're either laced with subtle propaganda or so devoid of thought whatsoever, I'd rather read a book or watch a DVD. Several months ago I cancelled NotFlix and this month cancelled Amazone, who can't seem to find my house anymore so there's no point. I'll get my books & music elsewhere.
I like how the boys in the show, "South Park" reduce all modern cinematic offerings down to "Gay cowboys eat pudding and discuss their sexuality" ;) LOL (South Park is raunchy but brilliantly funny, BTW)
Yep they did. I use the exceptions and Barnes & Noble. Also some good books can be found in big-box stores, especially if they're new. Good non-fiction and quality fiction is hard to find in B&M stores, that's for sure.
What I do is if I want a new subscription service I must cancel one in its place. I cancelled Netflix and replaced with AppleTV. I canceled Disney+ and replaced with Peacock. It’s working pretty good so far as I only have 3 subs revolving at any givin time. (Amazon Prime is the only one I have never canceled, but I probably should)
Maybe. Movie theaters have killed themselves, though. Beyond the chatter, now idiots inevitably pull out cell phones and blind everyone behind them, and there's morons bringing crying babies to R-rated 9:00 shows. Say anything and you get your face punched in. No thanks.
Funny, that movie was 100% leftist propaganda back in the day. Don’t get me wrong, it was a great movie and one I loved, but even then I knew I (always conservative) was being indoctrinated. That said, what was once pretty far left is now center or even a little right. It was and is a good movie speech, either way.
Dig the palindrome "Holes" reference! Also a great and well written book and movie! :)
Look, as far as it being "propaganda" I disagree. The propaganda is in how they portrayed conservatives in general and Richard Dreyfus' character in particular. But the speech itself is fundamental American values down to its very core. There is no real argument against it. Its how I was raised as an American and it was something I was always proud of.... it boils down to "Do you believe the words? Is there something that the character is saying in those lines that you could or would argue against?" I doubt it, right?
Back when this rom-com movie was made in the mid'90's, free speech was the defacto liberal position, and it was the right one. (back then many liberals were basically being censored and shut out of the public discourse of that era by conservatives. I remember, because I was conservative then and I saw it happening) Nowadays, it is the defacto position of the conservatives as they are being censored and shut out of the public discourse. Those words from his speech were as true then as they are now. Nothing has changed about the fundamental principles of the speech. Only the cheering section has changed.
Truths are not subject to the whims of politics. They remain truths whether they are coming from the left or the right.
That quote is not propaganda and, as I said, was a good speech in the movie. The movie itself is full of leftist propaganda and ideology. It was directed by Rob Reiner and stars some of the biggest activist leftist actors. The two issues that the film hung on were gun control and vehicle emissions.
agreed, Yelnats! :) (and how come no cred for "Dig the "Holes"??? come on, Mon!!! :)
As far as the politics of that movie, I remember that. there is propaganda in every story ever told, including this. I realize we can only have one writer as stories tend to get out of control if told from multiple pov. I really wish just once they would tell both sides of an issue by competent and intellectually sound debaters. Its like superhero movies wherein the super heroes only survive because the bad guys are such terrible shots! LOL
gun control and vehicle emissions are debatable issues that reasonable people can disagree on. (As opposed to "Free speech vs Authoritarian censorship for instance. ;) ) I have friends that argue those issues with me all the time, our friendship is never in danger. BUT, if any of my friends were to ever argue on behalf of censorship and authoritarian centralized control ...well lets just say I know that would turn Mr Hand into Mr Fist.(my parents came here from USSR)
That's good. But probably from an old movie. Wealth and comfort does not seem to make freedom grow. That is Hollywood's problem (and I'd argue much of America's problem these days-those conditions-too much success w/ free market and our system of government)
I hope that Hollywood starts making those types of movies again, instead of the EXACT opposite. I believe enemies like China have substantial impact in our present lack of faith in our overall system. And corrupt (and rich and comfortable) politicians.
The dropping of thousand of bots that's going on in twitter now makes me think that there are FAR more patriots than commonly presumed.
And why would the Left cheat if they knew that they were winning (or had won)? I think they know and rely on cheating in general (why claiming that anybody who isn't left is cheating)
As long as they continue to hire movie and tv crews based on gender and race, we’re going to get mostly crap. Go look up Ava DuVernay and the ARRAY Crew.
So...How was Northman? Why is it upsetting the wokesters? Dont tell me, let me guess: 16th century Vikings invade the kingdom of Woke and they try to defend using critical race theory and gender studies lectures? ;)
It was a little weird for me. It was based in 800 AD when they were traveling to the British isles and bringing back the Celtics as slaves. Wokesters probably didn't like it because it was an all white cast and accurately depicted white peoples as slaves. They don't like to see the reality that white people were enslaved too 😂
I'm not convinced that Musk is the answer to free speech, only time will tell.
I am still having a hard time wrapping my head around the cognitive dissonance required for the Bluechecks and their CovidianKaren minions to complain about the potential loss of free speech, while actively campaigning for thought and medical apartheid in society.
I just hope they can get all the boosters they want.
I'm with you, CaliforniaLost: wait and see what Musk does. Buying Twitter gives him A LOT of power, and at some point there could be a reason to deal with the screwballs.
I do hope he's the benevolent dictator everyone seems to celebrate today.
BTW, no matter what current management says, I figure the Twitter staff will sabotage some of the inner workings of the Little Bird. The whining crybabies are unlikely to go quietly.
Agree RioRosie. Not comfortable with aligning my personal belief system with a billionaire who buys a platform because he can and its policies annoyed him. Sounds a lot like "Meet the new boss.....".
Musk. The name alone makes me wonder. Bezos/WaPo is already obviously left-aligned. And under a paywall. Though Jeff did respond to my email a few years ago, and I got cat food I didn't want, but the VP was frantic on the call. Felt very bad for her, and the anxiety level. If Twitter goes under a paywall that will be a rebellious situation. Not impressed with Jeff, and Elon still has to prove himself. Folks in Virginia signed up for his satellite service, paid deposits, can't get through to CS (although he was giving Ukraine a service), just tallying up all of these dots. Following this, as it will be my problem soon.
Very grateful for you and your work on Covid early on - when my daughters school started moving towards mandated masking - I actually bought 20 copies of Unreported Truths - masks- and handed them out- which led to my 8y/o getting expelled a week before Xmas - we did get an injunction but we were forced to find a new school for her mid year-
I have no doubt and I have great hope that reasonableness will return to the “C” suite at Twitter and your case will be resolved to your benefit to avoid a lengthy trial which they are most likely to lose.
I hope for you - you will be able to find new mountains to climb-it can sometimes be difficult when you have dedicated this much of your life to a specific endeavor and in a moment it is completed….
I vehemently disagree with you on multiple issues - you are a New York liberal and your understanding of the world around you is limited to that bizzare bubble in which you live (18MM people piled on top of each other) -but on this one issue, at this one moment- you swerved into the truth- you got it right- the country and my family is now better off for your alacrity of thought-and ur determined efforts -
I’m sure we’ll see you in the breech within the next major American disaster- which is no doubt soon to be upon us!!
Joe, you are right, Alex has been amazing on Covid, and as Zade says in a nearby comment, he's been eye opening on the dangers of weed as well (luckily my kids avoid it), but I truly don't know how he can miss it so badly on election fraud (or Jan. 6th, my wife was a hold out until I showed her the guys inside opening the magnetized doors), ignoring the mountains of evidence, much of it perpetrated by the same Covid villains. It's truly bizarre and made me a tad more skeptical of his Covid posts at first, but he's been spot on these last two years.
Thanks Joe for pointing out folks of opposite positions can still find common ground. We are all fighting major manipulation these days. It's easier to cave in than to stand on your belief system, while being open to listening to opposing systems. This whole thing is an IQ test.
Some of us see through the fog of media. Your Gut Instinct is good. You put your gut instincts on the line at the cost of your daughter's "education". I think you will reap that decision down the road. Good common sense will always win. Godspeed.
My biggest take away from the experience……. Is that the Vaxers/maskers- they are true believers and if they cannot go after you (we are affluent and uncancellable), they will go after your children ….. any where they feel they can get an advantage to punish you…… Fauci may understand it a ruse, but his devotees- are 100% committed….. cheers
It is simply amazing to me how bizarre our country and society has become. What in the world happened? It’s like letting your kids make all the decisions. Complete anarchy.
It's always FAR easier to destroy than it is to create. And the left needs to destroy because it's the only way it can press it's 'prescription' on America. It cannot argue with any success, because the left has been too insulated and 'protected' from free speech. They can only 'argue' with other leftists and their ideas have become so far out into 'left' field, that it has no support from common sense. Or regular people who work for a living, and the middle class. Another reason for lock downs, which helps to destroy the middle class.
Love your first line....it is so true! To create something takes intelligence, persistence and courage...all things the lefties are missing, and will never have. So they do the only thing they can...destroy!
We can *choose* what to read and block anything we don't want to read. That's the whole point. For a very short time when I first signed up, I made the mistake of posting my real picture. I was inundated with come-ons, DM's, and creepy followers. I quickly learned the basic skill of blocking.
If you're terrified of opposing views, don't read them. How hard is that to comprehend?
The bluechecks are crying about one of the richest men ever owning one of the most important social media companies as an attack on free speech, I guess they have never heard of Facebook. FYI Zuckerberg is worth almost $70 billion and far more facsitic in his attack on speech than Twitter.
The Twitter content you provided is disgusting. I didn't know they allowed pornography. And they canceled you?!!! The comments I have read today from the free speech fearmongers have been nothing but hilarious. The hypocrisy of these people is amazing, especially from those who speak for the WaPo.
The bluechecks can start their own service (as they like to say). Some other billionaire took "Truth", but the more fitting "Lies" is still available for their startup. Or, in homage to CNN, they can call it "Lies+"
I agree; those pornographic tweets are revolting, but they made me laugh. They're pathetic, really. Think of those people as losers, as sick people who have nothing better to do with their time and energy than post smut. Alex was simply making the point that the li'l bird is full of nasty stuff right now, so if freedom of expression is truly welcomed on Twitter, that's not going to change the presence or lack thereof of this kind of garbage on the site.
Those tweets are the closest any of the morons that posted them ever get to sex, I know. But that's part of why I left Twitter.. It's a garbage fire. And Alex had to shovel some right here.
Elon's first rule should be "You get banned if you talk shit about me" just so we could see that "private companies can do what they want" was always a bullshit talking point (like everything else the left says).
Sorry - the second tweet should be the famous “It doesn’t stop infection. Or transmission.”
Oh Alex, regarding the porn twitter, you do know your search history is forever with your VPN, right? Don't be surprised when The Atlantic's next hit piece reference contains a "leak" from a concern citizen about your search history.

Is twitter backing out some of the programming code before those with lawsuits get access to it?
CYA big time. Hope Musk brings in a tech forensic team to unravel the shite.
I read somewhere that the board locked the system up tight so it could not be messed with. Truth or not, I don't know.
I wonder if they’re deleting a lot of their algorithms to hide what they’ve done.
I saw a comment that supports this idea, they're clearing out the bots so people w/ large bot followings are losing numbers.
His case might have had something to do with this buyout being so easy for Musk.
Remote work. Explains a lot.
The White House is the most expensive nursing home in the planet.
Remember “rest” day?
OK. Fix it. Change the 2nd tweet then.
Anyone remember back in the days when Hollywood made original well written movies that were inspiring? I always liked this line from the movie "The American President" with Michael Douglas playing the role of President:

It’s working pretty good so far as I only have 3 subs revolving at any givin time. (Amazon Prime is the only one I have never canceled, but I probably should)
I cancelled them because they're garbage and I don't want to give them my $$.
LOL don’t hold back, Peggy, tell us how you really feel! 😂
I'll try to come out of my shell.. 😂
Walked past the movie theater as I wasn't interested in a romanticized Bill Clinton story.
Today, we have Hillary & Obama decrying free speech demanding it be stopped to "save our democracy."
Which of course has been the plan all along. Just sayin'.
double amen.
Maybe. Movie theaters have killed themselves, though. Beyond the chatter, now idiots inevitably pull out cell phones and blind everyone behind them, and there's morons bringing crying babies to R-rated 9:00 shows. Say anything and you get your face punched in. No thanks.
been training in kickboxing the last 6.5 years. Would like to find out if the cost has been worth it.
Funny, that movie was 100% leftist propaganda back in the day. Don’t get me wrong, it was a great movie and one I loved, but even then I knew I (always conservative) was being indoctrinated. That said, what was once pretty far left is now center or even a little right. It was and is a good movie speech, either way.
Had the same thought, that was the Liberal Speech back in the day. Just goes to show its not left or right but power that makes you authoritarian.
Dig the palindrome "Holes" reference! Also a great and well written book and movie! :)

Totally agree with you about the movie Stanley; if that's your real name :)
😉
That's good. But probably from an old movie. Wealth and comfort does not seem to make freedom grow. That is Hollywood's problem (and I'd argue much of America's problem these days-those conditions-too much success w/ free market and our system of government)

And why would the Left cheat if they knew that they were winning (or had won)? I think they know and rely on cheating in general (why claiming that anybody who isn't left is cheating)
I hope they start making those great movies again too....and my son can act in them. Most of the movies out now are not worth watching....
They ALWAYS accuse the other side of that which they are doing. It’s the whole “who got to mom first” principal.
As long as they continue to hire movie and tv crews based on gender and race, we’re going to get mostly crap. Go look up Ava DuVernay and the ARRAY Crew.
I'm going to see the Northmen tonight since apparently it's really upsetting the wokesters.
‘Father Stu’ seems like another good one.
So...How was Northman? Why is it upsetting the wokesters? Dont tell me, let me guess: 16th century Vikings invade the kingdom of Woke and they try to defend using critical race theory and gender studies lectures? ;)
It was a little weird for me. It was based in 800 AD when they were traveling to the British isles and bringing back the Celtics as slaves.

That's a great movie and a great observation by you

Code was locked to prevent that.
We can hope.
Twitter's business model is to control the narrative. Free accounts complaining about life don't pay the rent.
Don't say hard
LIBTARDS are for free speech ... just NOT for everybody to have it
LIBTARDS....I'm gonna use that!!
and you're going to get banned like me
Shouldn’t that be ‘LIBTARDS for free newspeak…’? :)
Bluechecks: "the free-speech-hesitant."
It's not that they don't want free speech. They're fine with that as long as it's the party line, all the time.
Very grateful for you and your work on Covid early on - when my daughters school started moving towards mandated masking - I actually bought 20 copies of Unreported Truths - masks- and handed them out- which led to my 8y/o getting expelled a week before Xmas - we did get an injunction but we were forced to find a new school for her mid year-

Gods speed!!
He's spot on about marijuana too. THC is a neurotoxin and he's called out Big Pot.👏
You are right about that
Joe, you are right, Alex has been amazing on Covid, and as Zade says in a nearby comment, he's been eye opening on the dangers of weed as well (luckily my kids avoid it), but I truly don't know how he can miss it so badly on election fraud (or Jan. 6th, my wife was a hold out until I showed her the guys inside opening the magnetized doors), ignoring the mountains of evidence, much of it perpetrated by the same Covid villains.

"Musk's Twitter Purchase Fails After 138,000 Board Votes Found Overnight" from the Babylon Bee. https://babylonbee.com/news/musks-twitter-purchase-fails-after-138000-board-votes-found-overnight
Pretty clever, and if that would have worked, the board of twitter would have tried it too.
Thanks Joe for pointing out folks of opposite positions can still find common ground. We are all fighting major manipulation these days. It's easier to cave in than to stand on your belief system, while being open to listening to opposing systems. This whole thing is an IQ test.
I don’t expect to have to much in common with an east coast nyc elite- but on the obvious stuff….. masks and vax’s well …. Yes. ;)
Some of us see through the fog of media. Your Gut Instinct is good. You put your gut instincts on the line at the cost of your daughter's "education". I think you will reap that decision down the road. Good common sense will always win. Godspeed.

Agree Joe - they are targeting the kids. From multiple angles. Wait it out.
Alex,
It is simply amazing to me how bizarre our country and society has become. What in the world happened? It’s like letting your kids make all the decisions. Complete anarchy.
It's always FAR easier to destroy than it is to create. And the left needs to destroy because it's the only way it can press it's 'prescription' on America. It cannot argue with any success, because the left has been too insulated and 'protected' from free speech. They can only 'argue' with other leftists and their ideas have become so far out into 'left' field, that it has no support from common sense. Or regular people who work for a living, and the middle class. Another reason for lock downs, which helps to destroy the middle class.
Love your first line....it is so true! To create something takes intelligence, persistence and courage...all things the lefties are missing, and will never have. So they do the only thing they can...destroy!
We can *choose* what to read and block anything we don't want to read. That's the whole point. For a very short time when I first signed up, I made the mistake of posting my real picture. I was inundated with come-ons, DM's, and creepy followers. I quickly learned the basic skill of blocking.
If you're terrified of opposing views, don't read them. How hard is that to comprehend?
They don’t get that. They want to disallow all opinions that aren’t theirs. 🤷♀️
How can you truly make a decision when only one angle is promoted. OTOH you must be very pretty!
The bluechecks are crying about one of the richest men ever owning one of the most important social media companies as an attack on free speech, I guess they have never heard of Facebook. FYI Zuckerberg is worth almost $70 billion and far more facsitic in his attack on speech than Twitter.
Who funded the federal election apparatus in 2020 to the tune of over $400 million.
The above mentioned criminal
The Twitter content you provided is disgusting. I didn't know they allowed pornography. And they canceled you?!!! The comments I have read today from the free speech fearmongers have been nothing but hilarious. The hypocrisy of these people is amazing, especially from those who speak for the WaPo.
Lots of voices were brought back on Twitter by last night, they are saying a person just needs to ask to be reinstated and it happens rather quickly.
So Marjorie Taylor Green asked and was reinstated? I thought the permanent suspensions had to remove the offending tweet(s).
No idea.
Green was not reinstated. I used a bad source.
The bluechecks can start their own service (as they like to say). Some other billionaire took "Truth", but the more fitting "Lies" is still available for their startup. Or, in homage to CNN, they can call it "Lies+"
Point made about no censorship but did you have to poke my eyes out with that pornographic slime?
I think my eyes are bleeding...
Seriously - without even a NSFW?
I agree; those pornographic tweets are revolting, but they made me laugh. They're pathetic, really. Think of those people as losers, as sick people who have nothing better to do with their time and energy than post smut. Alex was simply making the point that the li'l bird is full of nasty stuff right now, so if freedom of expression is truly welcomed on Twitter, that's not going to change the presence or lack thereof of this kind of garbage on the site.
Those tweets are the closest any of the morons that posted them ever get to sex, I know. But that's part of why I left Twitter.. It's a garbage fire. And Alex had to shovel some right here.
Memo to Elon Musk: Fire 'em all! The entire staff. Wipe the slate clean and start again.
There's too many weeping, whiny wokesters sucking a paycheck out of Twitter. No good will come from keeping them.
It might be rather fun to watch them sell out in real time.
If Robert Malone is now back on Twitter - Alex should be, too.
Agree, absolutely! He should be back right away. Of course it would be an admission that twitter was wrong in banishing him.
Yep, would not help them in the lawsuit.
Elon's first rule should be "You get banned if you talk shit about me" just so we could see that "private companies can do what they want" was always a bullshit talking point (like everything else the left says).
