My verified Twitter account fine print is throwing shade at me, accusing me of only being verified because my dad was in the same twitter frat. I'm still not paying the $8 chapter dues. The frat president sucks. He's gonna get us put on double secret probation. Image
The #TwitterBlue fraternity is the crappiest frat on campus. Their parents paid to make sure they didn't have to be vetted. They bribed their way in, and there's no way I'm letting any of them into one of our sweet parties. Also they give off a predator vibe, just sayin.
FTR, I got my blue badge nine years ago for notably writing clickbait headlines for good causes and viraling things. Back when that was possible. Back when going to Clickbait U actually meant something. Back when Facebook kneecapped you for adding flare to your social packages.
I survived two pivots to video and had to learn how to add "substance" and write long-form essays. None of this $8 pay-to-play nonsense. I had to go to internet conferences and beg Facebook staff in order to have my product ideas ignored by social media CEOs like Zuck.
These #twitterblue kids today just have to cough up $100/yr and embrace a cult in order to get product ideas approved. Back in my day, Q was a star trek character, not an unhinged ideology to pander to, edgelord style, in an effort to destabilize my own company's rev streams.
In my day, when an out-of-touch social media CEO wanted to maximize revenue, he did it with class. He ignored every expert around him, made no public statements, watched the world burn, and pivoted to a useless product no one asked for or needed.
These new clueless social CEOs are the worst. Yes, they ignore every expert around them, but then vomit up every horrible idea that any conspiracy nut tosses their way, pour gas on the fire and then fire anyone who was doing something useful. And try to charge $8 for the honor.
Seems weird that the heir to an apartheid mining biz who ran multiple businesses into the ground, has a fake drilling biz, tortures animals "for science," dumped a car in space, and overpaid for a social biz bc they were mean to him is not great at increasing revenue.
Dude with a BS in economics from Wharton thought, "Gutting the infrastructure of twitter, then giving people blue stickers for $8 when ad revenue is where big profits are, then tweeting Q fanfiction and live blogging old staff emails is sure to convey I'm legit to the market."

The facts are these.
1. A chihuahua I room with refused to eat dinner.
B. Someone gained access to our basement, shredding some MILK chocolate gold coins.
III. Yet another vandal left a brown pile of chocolate goo in Sizzles’ favorite hoarding spot.

I WILL find the vandal.
Yes, Sizzles has eaten milk chocolate before. But he knows better now. So it couldn’t be him. He’s innocent. I raised him better than that. And his sister only eats her own poop. She too is innocent. So maybe I’ll interrogate my offspring.
I’m sure he’s learned his lesson after an overnight ER visit.I did. I learned that animal emergency medicine is similar to US health care in that it’s medical care + larceny where they give you a menu of options and ask, “decide how much you love your fur baby. And pay up front.”

Dr. Evil: We will kill the Musky Twitterman with a missile. Find the plane tweeter!
Minion: Banned. Here's a public info link tho.
D: Where is it now?
M: Austin.
D: The missile?
M: The plane. Missile is in Gary.
D: Is he on it?
M: No idea.
D: Eff it. Let's just mint cat NFTs.
M: why do you want to take him out?
D: I don't. I wish to kill him.
M: Why?
D: He banned my German assassin for his arm logo.
#1: Actually, he unbanned him.
D: Oh, nevermind... Why is the Missile in Gary?
M: The militia said we can grab it whenever. Scott said he'll get to it.
Scott: I'm not driving to Gary, IN from the volcano lair, dad.
D: Scott, you don't get it.
S: This is so dumb. We don't get the schedule in advance. How do we get it to the right place?
D: Whose volcano is this?
S: You have dinner with him EVERY week. You're his biggest investor.

My journey to learn the details of the Trump Trading Cards has been AMAZING. The fine print is some next-level grift.
1. I presumed it was a set of actual physically printed Trump cards for $99. They are NFTs.
B. It's $99 PER CARD.
III. You don't get to pick. It's Random.
4. You can "win prizes." Like a golf trip. Or a cocktail hour. With Trump.
5. But you have to pay ALL expenses to get there and while there.
6. It's black tie optional.
7. You are guaranteed a seat at a "gala" if you spend at least $4455 on 45 digital cards. Donald will be in the same room as you!
8. But you have to pay all your travel expenses to be in the same room as him,
9. It's also black tie optional. No promise on where you sit.

THREAD: The term “electable” is dumb. I watched my hero Howard Dean lose to an “electable” candidate. Mondale, Dukakis, Gore, and Kerry were “electable." They all lost. Obama excited people. And they showed up. You know who else excites people? @ewarren. #AllOfUs4Warren
It should be no surprise to anyone who follows me that I join #AllOfUs4Warren in endorsing @ewarren. I started covering her when I was at Upworthy. She had a habit of holding government officials accountable in senate hearings. She’d make senate hearings “go viral.”
She stumped Bank Regulators with common sense questions. #AllOfUs4Warren

I think it’s more complicated than that, which I will explain when I’m not driving.
OK. So, climate issues, obviously, are more challenging to get eyes on. IMHO, because of the following reasons.
1. Climate Change as a concept is not about people, it's a complex and nuanced science thinger that can be hard to grasp.
2. There has been a long term effort by specific parties with their own agendas to destroy the credibility of anything considered to be a fact when it doesn't fit their narrative. People often think a scientific theory is the same as a layman's theory. Then it becomes "2 sides."
