I noticed that they recast the actress playing Cassie Lang, the daughter of Scott Lang, in the new Ant-Man movie, from the choice in Endgame to the active from Detrctive Pikachu. I wanted to find out why. If you ever want to write in such a way that you never truly get to the point, here’s a masterclass on it: screenrant.com

I see a lot of people posting about Mastodon, hoping it will replace Twitter. I think they’re going to be very disappointed when they find out how it actually works.

There are no “quote tweets,” for starters. That’s a big one.

re: #25 Nyet

Probably quite true: OK, it’s been a long time since I got my Business degree, but am I missing something in seeing/thinkling that Musk has screwed himself royally by overpaying so much for Twitter? Even had he gotten the company at less that the insane premium he offered, if (as I understand) they make most of their money off advertising, a mass exodus of users - which still may occur if the site becomes too much of a hate-cesspool - is going to drop their “viewer” base down to the point where ad rates are going to have to come down: which will diminish their cash flow. Which is precisely what Elon can’t maintain forever: eventually those financing payments are going to come due. And (AFAIK, would appreciate any clarification) Twitter doesn’t have a hell of a lot of salable assets to divest to pay those bills.

My guess is that in about three years (tops), Elon “goes public” again, and bails via an “IPO” - taking his multi-billion-dollar red-ink bath tsunami, milking it for whatever tax writeoffs he can, and moves on to some other wasteful inanity….

While it is obviously fucking insane the the new owner of Twitter is promoting misinformation days after taking over, the real test for me will be moderation.

I reported an idiot last night who spams every post by Rabbi Ruttenberg with disgusting antisemitic memes. If nothing happens, there will be no choice but to assume that this type of behavior is now permitted there.

In the hills of Washington, D.C.’s Rock Creek Park, hundreds of stones, piled two stories high, have sat, largely unmolested apart from curious passersby, as moss and vines subsumed them into the forest.

What makes the stones remarkable, however, is their origin: They were once a part of the United States Capitol, about seven miles to the south. While the Capitol Stones hold national significance, they have been a treasured local secret—a rare piece of American history that longtime residents can claim as their own.

But soon, the stones’ time at Rock Creek Park will come to an end. Officials from the National Park Service will move them over the next few years to a storage facility in Maryland, where they will no longer be publicly accessible, reports Bloomberg Government’s Jack Fitzpatrick.

“The stones are being moved at the request of the National Park Service for safety, realignment and preservation purposes,” says Kiren Marshall, a spokesperson for the Architect of the Capitol in a press statement.

The stones date back to the early 1800s, when the Capitol underwent extensive reconstruction after British troops set fire to the building during the War of 1812, causing devastating damage. More than a century later, in the 1950s, renovations led to the stones’ replacement. Along with the Capitol’s old Corinthian columns, the stones spent a short stint in storage at the Capitol Power Plant. Per Bloomberg Government, they remained there until as late as 1972.

In the 1980s, the old columns moved to the National Arboretum, where they are still a popular—and officially sanctioned—tourist attraction. The stones, on the other hand, were dumped in Rock Creek Park.

I drove over to Tempe to check if my badge works. It beeps but does nothing. I have to wait until another day (Thursday, which is when my class is) to go in and get it fixed. I posted to our team’s Signal chat, but I will bet money my manager is going to drive over there after arriving later this afternoon and find out he can’t get into the building. He can’t say I didn’t warn him.

That said, I came across these signs on the south side of the intersection of Gilbert Rd and Red Mountain (202) Freeway as I was driving over. Yeah, the pic is bad, I was taking it at a distance and disadvantage from the front seat of my car.

Anyone waiting for Elon’s magical-thinking bot moderation to work in stopping or even reducing violent or “law-breaking” conduct by right wing trolls and bad actors are in for a seriously long wait… like the heat death of the universe. Quit Twitter now. Uninstall the app.

The first really credible moderated social platform that comes online that caters to a social world-wide friendly audience is likely to be a seriously good investment opportunity. “The left” (whatever than means) is generally of more world-friendly and globalized conglomerate as opposed to nationalist and hyper -partisan right wingers who are by definition tribal and sectarian. Their end goal is to eliminate all others, to deport or kill the “other”.

Why so polite?

Most trolls are like “I’m gonna find you and fuck you up, bitch!” but this dude is like “I’m definitely going to locate you.”

Elon is just making this whole thing up as he goes along.

yahoo.com

PG or R versions of Twitter now. He really had no idea going in what he wanted or what it is going to take.

Which goes to prove a point. Some people like Elon are willing to throw away Billions and $$$ Billions more of their own money in a pure revenge effort, all for really nothing as there is no real barrier of entry into the social media space except for startup money and a good idea.

Twitter can and will be replaced quickly as “the left” moves on and the right wing of course, with no one left to punch at, tries again at the new platform. Hopefully whatever or whoever can moderate this new effort places great people in charge of policing the fascists, scoundrels and con-men out of the discussion.

There’s nowhere else for the left to go, especially since it would have to be a mass move, you and all your contacts. There are some who will get off, but, for the most part, people are going to stay.

I do like someone’s idea of sending images of what Musk is allowing to advertisers.

$5 gets you five plays in California SuperLotto. It’s the original millionaire-maker, according to Calotto.

I am hobbling around as little as possible. I can feel that it’s still sore. I need to rest, but resting is hard with an old dog and Halloween tomorrow and just in general.

Thanks for asking.

Why did anyone expect anything better from the guy who labelled a British caver involved in the rescue of trapped Thai schoolboys the “pedo guy”? Just like Trump, he believes his wealth and/or power insulate him from any consequences from his lies and insults and negligence.
