I personally feel folks need to leave Musk alone.  He bought Twitter.  He can and SHOULD try things.  You win sometimes and you lose sometimes.  Not all decisions are good.  But CHANGE is better than what the old Twitter did.

I am mainly writing this post because I spotted a separate article here on AppleInsider today entitled "How to delete your Twitter account on iOS & the web."  I couldn't help but feel that was pushing the "We think Twitter is bad, and we think you should feel that way too" narrative.  And what do you know?  Comments are BANNED under that article, thereby giving credence to my suspicions.

The world has gone mad.  The very fact people spend so much time on social media is partly evidence of that.  Calm down.  Take a deep breath.  Look outside at the beautiful world instead of your mobile phone.  Think positive thoughts rather than be so critical.  There is a batter way.  Most people simply chose not to pursue it.

Jobs is my hero, but I don't agree with his statement that milk is "bad for you". Reminds me of an anti-vaxxer mentality.  If there is anything bad about store-bought milk, it would be the production process, not the milk itself.

Does Jobs eat cheese? Cheese is made of milk, right? Westerners are so crazy about cheese. This translates into the popularity of pizza. But I heard that goat cheese is much beneficial than cheese.

In three years, a MacBook Air will be faster than this machine. 

And the VisionPro will no longer require a headset. Or a battery. You'll wear a beanie with a wind-powered propeller on top, and there will be a holographic heads-up display in the air in front of you. There will be special-edition beanies to support various groups:

About five years ago I recall Tim Cook (and others) calling on people to boycott North Carolina over its bathroom laws, which restricted users to the bathroom of their biology.

I did some googling and it appears that North Carolina revoked its original bathroom law, but replaced it with something 50% weaker. I.e., it's no longer illegal to use the wrong bathroom, but if you do, and the owner stops you, you will have no legal recourse to sue the owner. That's still fairly restrictive.

Apparently Apple considers the new law "good enough." I'm surprised. Has Apple caved on transgender issues?

North Carolina's current governor, a Democrat, unseated the Republican governor five years ago in part because of this bathroom law. But North Carolina still has a Republican House, a Republican Senate, and voted for Trump. That's another reason to be surprised Apple would move there.

She's the CEO in name only. She was hired to sell advertising, period. Regardless of titles, Musk remains the de facto CEO of Twitter and under his control Twitter will continue to devolve into the cesspool he is making it.

Or, in other words, advertisers will continue to flee Twitter because, really, who wants their product associated with the rants of white nationalist lunatics?

Above all else Twitter is an adverting platform. Having a successful adverting executive run an advertising company does make sense. 

Doesn't matter if advertisers won't spend money with twitter because it's such a fucking RWNJ cesspit now (despite how wonderful she *might* be), especially now that they're looking at bringing the advertiser repeller (Fucker Carlson) to the platform.

As someone else pointed out, what a moron for paying $44B for a platform and turning it into something he could have bought (Parler) for ~$200. Musk thinks he's Midas, the results say the opposite.
