        Everytime I think I’m a little “out there”, I remember THIS dork exists, which frees up my mind to do other things.

        Like put on a mushroomhead XX logo painted jason mask, a diana ross wig, and flannel shirt so I could go to a Fiona Apple concert, mostly against my will, get up to the front of the stage and start waving my hand enthusiastically and yell “HI HIPPIE LADY!!! HELLO!!! HELLO HIPPIE LADY!!! HIIIIIII!!!” as her bassist had to walk off stage from laughing too much, Fiona Apple looking annoyed, and 2000 people all glaring daggers at me. Luckily the crowd was 100% females besides me. So no violence towards my antics actually took place.

        Times are crazy. Especially when I remember that story is like 20 years old.

        This was the first warning. We all saw him cosplay as a Matrix extra, and we did laugh at him, but we didn’t bully this dork ass bitch enough.

    Keep in mind this is “X, the everything app”. Musk expects it to be your one stop on the internet for everything, including online banking.

      Anyone who wants the internet to be like this… It’s hard to describe adequately.

      The idea makes me as angry as I was when I was a kid and first heard about the destruction of the library of Alexandria. It is a deep dark rage.

    This is entirely on Twitter. For your average person, sending a court-ordered fine to the wrong institution means it hasn’t been paid.

    Plus, theres the fact that Musk is completely untrustworthy. After all the effort it’s taken to get Twitter to pay up, I wouldn’t restore their ability to earn income from Brazilians until the fine was secured thoroughly and correctly.

      The xitter lawyers claim that there was no bank account indicated anywhere so they “had to guess” and are demanding xitter to be unlock as they paid the fine.

      In other words, either they’re grossly incompetent and can’t read, or they’re playing malicious by trying to abuse some loophole or anything to ultimately not pay the fine

      I wouldn’t trust Musk for anything!

      Not for a million dollars, not for a Brazilian dollars, not even for a trillion dollars!

      It’s like an old kind of onion headline, before someone fucked with the timeline and realities got mixed up.
