A screenshot to save you visiting the #MuskVirus #Media Ministry ...
Thin-sliced: Barack Obama posted on X/twitter and got 42K hearts/likes in 3 hours - and then the ability to like was blocked.
So much for free speech 'absolutism'... Now it's more like absolute power over the media which shapes #belief about #truth #X
Meanwhile in #Muskville, home of "free speech occasionalism" opposed to moderation of #disinformation / #propaganda
TRANSLATION: IF YOU POST PUBLICLY, YOU ARE SEEN
Including by stalkers and horrors you've blocked for a reason.... Sorry, you want to block (ignore AND be invisible to) someone? Nyet

Meanwhile in Muskville....
#Muskville under the sandbox supervision of COSPLAY fan & sandbox bully Elon, is a designated "free speech" haven -
for #disinformation without regard for #truth or even lawfulness (vs #sedition, inciting violence, and messing with people's heads!)
Sorry, choir, for preaching about the overwhelming power combined with underwhelming moral and human thinking skills.

One of the richest guys in the universe supports and promotes White Supremacy.
A "free speech occasionalist".
H/T Alex Wagner, who called BS to Mayor #Muskvirus' claim of being a "free speech absolutist".
#TrumpVirus #cult - X marks the spot once respected. I mean, stains the spot which once had standards and fact-checking.
Meanwhile in Muskville...
An actually super-rich tool of #nihilism & #TrumpVirus goes beyond what the #GQP #cult can do itself, even w/ #Project2025 $$
Shortly after the apparent second assassination attempt against Trump, Elon Musk responded in a now deleted post: “And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala 🤔 ????”

Meanwhile in #Muskville ...
Space, the final frontier. As Commander Elon seeks to colonize in the name of spreading #TrumpVirus beyond its current reach, between the anti- #truth #GQP #disinformation #media #cult
Mayor #MuskVirus - with unlimited resources and an inclination towards mayhem, pre-teen level COSPLAY and simplification of (his) reality - is having fun playing in his sandbox of conspiracy, and he hangs a "welcome" sign for the Loomers & MTG/RFK delusionists , #disinformation spreaders, and Vladadoodles
#Muskville & Moscow... Closer than we knew!

It seems Elon's media playground may in fact be exactly as it appears: Russia's fill-in for RT...

So ... After the highly successful broadcast by the dynamic duo of like-minded #TrumpVirus variants...
1) Both Lord Stable Genius and Emperor #Muskvirus have been hit with labor complaints for their praise of firing workers.
2) In his praise of smart tough leaders like Putin, Kim, Elon et al... Sir floated the idea of leaving, if things went south, to go South.
Musk: "yeah, yeah". (See you in Venezuela?)
#truth vs. #Musk #Muskvirus #distraction #WordSalad and lack of #accountability - Such a terrific couple, no? "Perfect". "Yeah"
Heh... Missed this part (well, all of it) - though saw highlights, like the delayed start and Sir #MuskVirus just saying "yeah yeah"...
So aside from the usual #WordSalad from Sir #TrumpVirus with all the best words...
Trump (in his 'mind') made a date with the mayor of #Muskville to break bread in terrific Venezuela. IF 'something goes wrong'.
Mind-blowing, were it not from the already 10x frozen over world of 'thinking' about things, by Lord #TrumpVirus.
#Psychopathology master meets #Narcissism in the sandbox, with fellow delusionist and terrific person, in #GQP #cult land.
Meanwhile in #Muskville, from the #disinformation sandbox of the mayor, Lord #MuskVirus of the #TrumpVirus variants...
The EU has warned X owner Elon Musk and CEO Linda Yaccarino that the company may face penalties and restrictions in Europe if it doesn’t address the spread of illegal content on its platform, reports CNBC.
.In a letter posted on X, Thierry Breton, European commissioner for the internal market, said the EU was monitoring the potential risks “associated with the dissemination of content that may incite violence, hate and racism,” and warned his team were prepared to “make full use of our toolbox” to protect EU citizens from “serious harm.” - FlipBoard
Meanwhile in #Muskville ....
No surprise here!

Don't know how to react to this! Sir Elon #Muskvirus just 'loved' - and reposted - my comment, which was actually a swipe @ his "X"!
(And not at all agreeing that CNN did such a fine job.)
So meanwhile in #Muskville ...
Ugh.
Double Ugh
#CancunCruz - best record ever! On the wrong side of everything! Even the border if he needs to escape #accountability.
Two (or three) birds of a #GQP / #TrumpVirus feather - and feathered nests. Including the new tsar of online #truth, Lord #MuskVirus.
Ask social psychologist Phil Zimbardo about "bad apples" versus "bad barrels & barrel-makers".
IMM, Laurence O'Donnell is the embodiment of integrity, plus quite a good fit with the seeking of "context and perspective".
Even good barrels will occasionally produce bad apples, but bad barrels plus bad barrel-makers is what tips the scales toward evil.
If there are islands of responsible journalism that can speak truth to power, and ;even to apparent corruption of 'purity' in one's own ecosystem, I'm happy to see it and celebrate it. I'm thinking O'Donnell, Stephanie ("Let's get smarter" Ruhl), Wagner (who described #Muskvirus as a "free speech absolutist"), and others whose shifts I don't often see .... play on! Continue offering refuges of #truth.

A very funny & pithy Colbert/Late Show Thursday Night.
Here is the whole show, but it's the first few minutes that are the news focus. Ka-boom, Elon Musk.
And then... A funny and quite lnteresting monologue, and then... Paul Simon. Philosophizing and performing a psalm.Great Show.
A fun and/or wistful look (bittersweet for some, relief for others, traumatic for many, meaningless to many more.... v
