@Twitter / @TwitterDev's UX is now partly broken for us. do you see that "Save Tweet" dialogue? that's what happens if you try to use the scroll bar to view the bottom of a long tweet. click on the scroll bar and you get that dialogue.

~Mona
one can Tab down to bring the bottom edge of the tweet dialogue box into view, as a workaround. possibly it scrolls properly with a scroll-wheel mouse (we do not use one.) in any case, non-functional UI components (the scroll bar)...@elonmusk's @Twitter is going well. /s

~Mona
everyone knew that @elonmusk was going to do this—everyone not in the #ElonMusk fan club.

this is why #VentureCapital has earned the somber nickname of "Vulture Capital": crooks who make and lose money in this unsound way have learned to profit from *breaking* companies.

~Mona
corporations are now so numerous that they can be chopped up and sold to bits, like cars coming off an assembly line only to be stolen and divided up for parts. much of #business and #finance makes its money through "vulture #capitalism", and @elonmusk is of that quality.

~Mona
not that @mtaibbi or any of the "independent" journalists in @elonmusk's tow ever noticed this—or, if they noticed, they were hoping simply to cash in.

I guess Mr. Matt Taibbi thought that Hunter Thompson taught him it was okay to have *no ethics*. that was never true.

~Mona
but the abyssal depths of professional failure represented by Mr. @mtaibbi's cheerleading for @elonmusk are too profound to explore at the end of a tweet thread.

so...here's the interesting thing about @MattWalshBlog's fascɪstic desire to want armed government thugs doing crimes against anyone who doesn't meet up with Walsh's (or @bindelj's) rigorous standards in "biologically correct" clothing and deportment. it's a fascinating thing.
it's this: @MattWalshBlog is an admitted paedophıle. oh, he wouldn't put it to himself in *exactly* such terms, but he's been a stout defender of #Catholic priestly paedophılia, he's defended other known paedophıles like @joshduggar, and he talks eagerly of impregnating children.
@MattWalshBlog KNOWS that he's exactly the sort of person whom he spends his public career making noise about: he's someone who wants to have sex with children.

and he thinks he has an answer to this problem, a *cure*—institute violent government punishment of "perverts".

@mtaibbi @bariweiss @ShellenbergerMD @lhfang what are *your* relationships to Congress, @mtaibbi? what are @elonmusk's relationships to Congress?

is it even possible to assume that your gang isn't working hand-in-glove with members of the @SenateGOP and @HouseGOP, who hope to profit from @elonmusk's corruption of @Twitter?
@mtaibbi @bariweiss @ShellenbergerMD @lhfang @elonmusk @SenateGOP @HouseGOP @Twitter so @Twitter is EVIL—that seems to be the overall narrative that @elonmusk is pushing, in order to justify his feckless and criminal treatment of the platform—in his addled brain, I suppose it's all right to smash up #Twitter if he can pretend it was an instrument of evil.
@mtaibbi @bariweiss @ShellenbergerMD @lhfang @elonmusk @SenateGOP @HouseGOP @Twitter and so it was: @jack made @Twitter into a vector for racɪsm, neo-fascɪsm, and personally invited fash propagandists back onto #Twitter where they could continue to advertise themselves and sow chaos. but this is the fault of @jack (and now of @elonmusk, who has the same goals.)

"always two there are. a master and an apprentice."

that sounds like a goofy line from a #StarWars movie. and it is! it's from "The Phantom Menace", which is probably the most entertaining of the Star Wars prequel films, and it refers to Darth Maul, the fallen Sith Lord.

(1/x)
there's one Sith Lord dead, which means he must have a companion—but was Maul the superior member of the team, or was he the sidekick?

this simple form of organization—a pair of persons, one subordinate to the other—is characteristic of relationships devoid of *trust*.

(2/x)
I understand that relationships cemented by mutual *hatreds* are a feature of "Homestuck", whose author correctly intuited that such relations were a sort of logical dual to relationships based upon mutual love and support.

the world is *full* of "toxic relationships".

@RonaldReagan, the racɪst and profoundly *disgusting* figurehead President, whom the @GOP installed in 1980 through an act of treason intended to humiliate Pres. Carter, taught his nation a lot of very bad habits.

"worst President" sticks fairly firmly to Ronald Reagan.

~Mona
among the worst of the habits which @RonaldReagan taught American politics was the appallingly hypocritical and destructive habit of pretending that "government" was an enemy force—it was always absurd, because Reagan and the @GOP were running the government.

~Mona
but when the @GOP—through their mouthpiece @RonaldReagan, who was a third-rate actor going senile but was still lucid enough to be rehearsed and scripted into delivering speeches full of reactionary diatribe—said "government" they meant something rather specific.

Chara, I may not be able to deliver you @elonmusk's reputation as even a belated 48th birthday present. but perhaps we'll get a lucky break for Christmas.

I feel that we're into the last stages of core collapse...if you take my meaning.

~Mona Drafter
the curious coincidence of two great supernovae occurring closely spaced during the height of the Italian Renaissance is just a coincidence, but it's a fascinating one. there were human beings who were alive for both...and since then there's been no other in our galaxy.

~Mona
supernova SN 1987A was at least in the Large Magellanic Cloud, and therefore close enough to be seen to the unaided eye, but still...after Tycho's Supernova SN 1572 and Kepler's Supernova SN 1604, there's been no other event like them close to Earth.

I'm sure that both Chara and myself have said, from time to time, that #conservatives have no real principles.

that's not entirely true, although the true principles of such evil men as @MattWalshBlog or @realchrisrufo aren't the principles they *say* they have.

~Mona
by "principle", I mean (roughly) any sort of fixed rule or guideline for behavior and decision-making that's held fast, even during times of crisis.

@realchrisrufo, @elonmusk, &c. are, quite visibly and obviously, people who espouse principles they don't actually follow.

~Mona
"free speech", for example, is meaningless from @elonmusk. it might as well be a slogan to past on bumperstickers, a catchy "viral" #marketing phrase glib in the mouths of @mtaibbi et alii, helpful for selling the gospel of #ElonMusk to outsiders. in reality he's a tyrant.
