Gods, season 1 Sansa was such a snarky bitch. Crazy she went from that to the Lady of Winterfell.
Tbh, If someone cut my dad's head off and forced me to marry the murder I'd be snarky too
She was snarky well before that happened.
I thought early Sansa was quite timid.
Except this shot is before that. She says this line to Septa Mordane in season 1 episode 6.
Me too. I'm now proactively blocking everyone who posts article about him even. Positive or negative doesn't matter I'm tired of seeing it and I'm tired of people not understanding that they're part of the problem.
wow, a blocker more hardcore than me. 🤣 (maybe i’ll do this too…)
Elon: "100% free speech, always!"
MediaMatters: "Here's evidence Musk is an antisemite."
Elon: "I'm suing you for speaking freely!"
Is it really thermonuclear if it can easily be dismissed with a couple of screenshots? And he is trying to allege fraud. This is the flimsiest crybaby tantrum he has had yet.
Right? The media matters article screenshots clearly prove it’s allegations. Unless he tries the angle that they were photoshopped (and obviously he needs proof for it) this gets dismissed immediately.
Hoping it doesn’t cost media matters anything or that they can recoup any fees they may incur from this. Nice to have real reporting with proof to back it up like they showed.
Maybe he meant thermonuclear in the sense that it is mutually assured destruction because, as most trigger happy lawsuit threats tend to forget, a lawsuit means discovery. So a lot more dirt about Xitter and Musk would have to become public record.
It's not even mutually-assured, though. It's a kamikaze attack doomed to miss.

This is a funny way to spell 'frivolous' when describing a lawsuit
Musk throws thermonuclear tantrum

I wouldn't put it past him to eat grandiose for breakfast even if it's some bacon and eggs wrapped in edible gold and glass full of his own magnificent piss.
Barratry should still be illegal
Well I just learned a new word. Also wikipedia says it is in some places.
Interesting. Essentially, the act of supporting a barrister. Clever.
This dumb fuck is about to be proven to be a bigot in a US court of law, isn't he? Discovery & the inevitable counter-suit is going to be 🍿🍿🍿🍿
Legally defined as a bigot is almost as good as one alex jone's lackies legally being a puppet
“Above everything, including profit, X works to protect the public’s right to free speech. But for speech to be truly free, we must also have the freedom to see or hear things that some people may consider objectionable,” he added.
It’s important to note that one of Musk’s lawyers, not Musk himself, made this statement. That’s because lawyers are immune to levels of irony that would be lethal to an ordinary human.
Yup. Freedom isn't force, we can all just choose to not look at that shit even if it's allowed to exist in a dark corner
as he has clearly abandoned his handlers, his outward communication gets worse and worse. hes like a stroke victim that refuses assistance, and is declining.
Sounds like every maga republican. Strange they share the same ethos.
"We must allow all free speech!"
"OK so I can choose to take my ads somewhere else"
"Wait no not like that"
Musk, the richest man in the world, said today that he will be 'holding his breath until everyone is nice to him'. The statement came as advertisers grew concerned about being associated with blatant antisemitism. A statement released by Apple claims that Musk is 'acting up for attention and needs a timeout and possibly a nap.' Musk responded with a post to X, formerly a semi-legitimate social media platform, that 'Apple is a big meanie who is in bed with the Jews. '
"Above everything, including profit, X works to protect the public’s right to free speech. But for speech to be truly free, we must also have the freedom to see or hear things that some people may consider objectionable,” he added.
Good to know you believe in free speech. Elmo. So you won't mind if companies exercise that right by choosing not to advertise on your racist, apartheid-loving network.
But for speech to be truly free, we must also have the freedom to see or hear things that some people may consider objectionable,” he added._
And the freedom to say "that's objectionable" and choose not to be associated with it.
Elon wants people to have the freedom to hear and see shit that makes them sick, but doesn't want them to have the freedom to leave it's presence.
Elon's a pretty twisted little shit, isn't he?
That's not freedom of speech, that's freedom of association. Different freedoms. Your point remakns though, I'm not arguing, just pointing that out.
Freedom of speech is connected to freedom of association, which also includes the freedom to not speak and to not associate (ie. halting advertising)
Also doesn't freedom of speech not apply to companies
Pretty sure it only applies to the government
Why do we keep giving this guy a platform? Do we really care that much about twitter and his stupid shenanigans
Actually we need to keep publicizing his ridiculousness so those that worship him might finally realize he’s not some genius ™. I had a friend recently tell me that Musk was probably the smartest person on the planet right now. I had to explain - as gently as possible so as not to offend those who think others are the snowflakes - that Musk is the very definition of starting on third base and thinking you hit a triple. My buddy gets plenty of propaganda telling him how great Musk is, there needs to be plenty of balance.
NOTE: Before you tell me, yes, I know that brainwashed people don’t just change their mind, and it probably won’t make a difference. But we shouldn’t let these lines of thought go unchallenged.
In this case, I feel it's important to push donations to Media Matters.
It isn't fair or right that the rich can just sue what they see as opposition into oblivion. I hope in this case that Media Matters or others sue/counter sue Elon and make his life extra miserable.

I don't need to be updated every time Musk farts because you are friends with a moron.
Okay, first let's cool it with the insults. He's not a moron, he's my friend, and he's extremely intelligent. But he's been brainwashed by propaganda from those who want to hold up Musk as a god-like figure, which is why I say we NEED to continue publicize Musk's negative actions to keep balanced information out there.
Second, telling people that they should stop talking on social media about something that you're tired of hearing about is the antithesis of SOCIAL media. If no one wanted to talk about it, it wouldn't keep getting posted and commented on. You can use filters and never see another post with his name, but ironically, you opened this post about Musk and made a comment, which keeps it going.
We as in Lemmy users probably don't care about Twitter at all. But there are 100s of Millions of active Twitter users, so it's no surprise this is in the news.
If we as Lemmy users didn’t care, it wouldn’t be posted and upvoted.
It's sitting at 2 points as the time of writing this. Not very popular
It may only show as two points on your instance. On mine it’s at 34 ups and 2 downs.
Sorry, I'm still learning how Lemmy works! Lol
Well, he owns and operates his own platform, where he's making it terribly easy for fascists to fasc. His space vehicles and communications satellites are being depended on by major world powers. He's got the largest electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the western hemisphere, if not the world.
Like it or not, his shenanigans affect us all.
We are forced to care because Twitter and the twit running it have political influence. I sure would like for that to cease to be the case, but until it is we don't have the luxury of ignoring it.
Because as someone with an obscene amount of money, power and influence he needs to be scrutinised and his every word and action examined.
It is pretty entertaining…
Some say Orson Wells Citizen Kane is the best movie ever made. We love to see the mighty fall.
I don't know that many people say that because of the story though. It created many of the cinematography methods we still use today. Before it, movies were generally just recreating stage plays in front of a camera. Every scene a stationary shot framing the whole room. No real transitions. For Citizen Kane they tore apart the roof and floor to allow for a camera to get moving shots zooming into a scene and angles not often used before. It changed the way people thought of movies and what they could be. People do love watching the slow decline of the powerful, but that movie is considered one of the best movies for other reasons.
Citizen Kane is recognized for many different reasons, and that's one. But, in essence, the story is the film. Wells masterpiece was the result of a feud he had with William Randolph Hearst, so he brought him down on film. Wells also had the strange habit of divorcing wives and killing them off in one of his movies.
The media and celebrities continue to legitimise him and his antisemitism. They are complicit.
"Has our company ever made bad business decisions? Well, we once bought advertising from Twitter. Don't do that. In the calm, rational, well-weighed opinion of our company, Musk is a massive crybaby and dealing with him is such a fucking fucking headache." - overheard in a business seminar, 2024

Still don’t think anyone has put it better than Owen Jones .
Never huff your own hype.
i bet he sits in his car smelling his own farts
