Cass, do you need to be wrapped in bubble wrap to stop you from eating things you’re allergic to?

Elon has been approved to buy Twitter. I fear this will not end well for humanity. I wish I could say I feel that is a hyperbolic statement.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
At the moment, the only thing I have to say is that if we return to the days of Trump tweeting all the time and everyone reporting on it every day, I am going to lose my mind.

If this Twitter sale goes through there better be a way to restrict my feed to just the people I follow and pictures of red pandas.

I’m glad Twitter is not my place (it’s a firehose I can’t handle) but totally would be concerned if it were.
And hugs to everyone with new houses and surgery and colonoscopy (I’ll need to schedule one later this year….) and allergies and long covid and new apartments and so on and whatnot.
Im just glad that unlike last Monday I did not work for 12 hours today.

Thrive to spite them
soo.I guess Misha Collins was joking about being bi and now has made a statement that nope he's straight.
and Elon Musk is going to own Twitter and I guess let it become a free for all? I haven't really been paying attention to why he wants to buy it. ..

Apparently he likes it because it's a chaotic disruptor. Which certainly suggest he'll let Trump back on.
I like it because I can follow things like Black Twitter, Classic Movie Twitter, and A's Baseball Twitter with direct news and interaction with beat writers.

I’m not sleeping tonight. I was planning on going to see Papa tomorrow after I drop off ltc at school, but when I talked to Mom tonight she said she wasn’t sure he would love through tonight. So I’m laying on the couch and alternating between crying and trying to distract myself with shiny things on the internet.
I feel like I should be posting something about what Papa has meant to me, but I can’t organize my thoughts just now. Since my dad died when I was two Papa has done everything in his power to be both a grandfather and father figure in my world. He spoiled me rotten and has always been there. I could never do anything wrong in his eyes. I can’t wrap my head around the idea of not having him in my life.

I think that says it beautifully, sj.

I'm so sorry that this has been so emotionally draining for you, sj. I'm sure your presence and love for him is helping so much.
I have never really been a Twitter person so it was easy enough for me to just go ahead and delete my personal and business accounts. I have no desire to be in the environment that Musk desires. Now as far as his car goes, I've had mine for 2-1/2 years and love it dearly. And ya know, go SpaceX. A no holds barred Twitter, no thank you.
