The Musk-Capades and his ongoing purchase of Twitter

 So I've ben dwelling here.


  At some point Elon Musk will be the owner of social media platform Twitter.

 People on the mid-far to far left of the ideological spectrum hate the idea.

 Most people don't care

 And most people on the liberty-right love the idea.


 And here's the deal that I think will happen.


 Social media platforms have really vague terms of use that they can manipulate to suit their narrative.  That's why certain content that wishes no harm on someone gets blocked or taken down and content that decries violence against someone doesn't.

The Musk-Twitter will more than likely have well defined terms of service and will be used the same regardless of assumed context.

Twitter isn't the number one social media platform and it probably won't be (For some strange reason lately I've missed Google+).  But what it will be is an opportunity for the aforementioned clear and concise terms of service and a wake up call to all the other platforms to be unbiased in execution of the terms of service moving forward.

I honestly have no idea how much Twitter will cost Elon Musk, High 50's per share?  And I don't know what kind of a fight those who oppose him have in their war chest.  I would suspect this will be done by late July.

And once Musk is successful the question becomes, will Trump be back on the platform?  Or Alex Jones, or Milo Yiannopoulos?  

I guess we'll find out!

ASK AND YOU MAY RECIEVE!

 I called to cancel my cable subscription today.  I've dealt with my cable provider at my townhouse and my previous home for almost 20 years. When I called they were happy to see that I was staying with them for internet and that I was breaking the current discount which comes with a cancellation penalty and no more cable.  And the internet bundle package vanishes and that my bill would only be about 20 dollars a month less. Well that's garbage I say.      Why are you cancelling the nice lady on the other end asks? I only watch about 3 hours a month.      How important are those 3 hours? Right now not very but I will miss IndyCar and the Canadian Football League.     I can change your cable plan so you keep your discounts and cable and internet will only be about 5 dollars a month more than cancelling cable and keeping only internet.  And you keep IndyCar and the CFL. You need 30 channels. Five minutes and 30 channels picked I ...

SHORT STORY LONG This is a dream (nightmare I had)

 The world lost my mom on Feb 19.  I am estranged from my family and I am still dealing with it.  Maybe I'll talk about it later.   So here's the dream:   I'm on trial, it's a big one, JURY TRIAL.  And my lawyer resembles Saul Goodman (Better Call Saul/Breaking Bad/whatever they come up with)     Two of my staff who I'm trying to get to improve but they probably think I'm pestering them are there TO DEFEND ME!   My mom is on the Jury.   I keep screaming for a mistrial because my mom is in the jury and in this dream capital punishment comes up!  SO WTF did I do!   And the lawyer keeps saying, "Don't worry we got this, they'll pay you for time served!"   And I keep screaming that my mom is in the Jury how'd she get there, isn't that a misstrial!   And then there's a flash of light and the dream ends.   WTF did I do!
