Does anyone really listen to her blabbering?

I thought we were getting along for the Holidays. Looks like that cow has left the pen.

HAHAHAHA! OK! JimA and Andy. You got me there.
Iâm sorry that my post seemed un-Holiday-like. I wish you and Ms. Warren a wonderful Holiday Season.
I just have a very difficult time listening to her when she gets all feverish and starts ranting and railing about whatever topic she has her panties in a bunch over. Maybe itâs the way that the press always presents her (10 seconds of film time on the news) but it always seems that she is railing instead of just talking.
Iâm not a big fan of the news on TV today anyway - so it really doesnât bother me all that much.
Happy Holidays!!

=> I guess in a poll of TMFâers more people listen to her than not.

Iâm no fan of Elon Musk, and hereâs another example of why I am against him being the force behind Twitter.
Here you have some wiseguy, bought the $8 blue check mark, then he posts âparodyâ about a massive Tesla recall.
Somehow, this resulted in a temp suspension, instead of banning altogether.
What good does Elon Musk do Twitter leaving this kind of crap up when itâs the kind of thing passed around on Twitter as âfactualâ evidence. (Until the new Twitter bosses stepped in to point out this was all parody.)
Supposdedly his words (parody account) were cut off the OP:
How does any of this help Tesla?

Wang wrote the code? Hmmmmm. I got a feeling we will see that admission enter court proceedings down the road.

Bankman-Fried was also previously romantically involved with Ellison, and he mightâve planned to say that their relationship clouded his judgment, said Renato Mariotti, another former federal prosecutor. That would be harder to argue with Wang.
âFrom my understanding, those two were very tight and business partners,â Mariotti said.
> Wang, 29, and Bankman-Fried first met at a high school math camp, and they were roommates at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. They started developing FTX while sharing a house in Berkeley, California, with Wang writing the code for the exchange that would launch in 2019. The two lived together in Hong Kong and more recently in the Bahamas.
Maybe you have not had the best year. But take some consolation from the fact that you did not YOLO yourself into overpaying for an unprofitable social-media platform, publicly try to wriggle out of the deal, get lawyered into ponying up, liquidate billions of dollars of stock in a down market to do so, take over a company you did not really want, shitpost your way into a revenue crisis, quit paying your bills, antagonize your super-users, wink-wink at Nazis, and decimate your staff, all the while damaging your other, more lucrative businesses. Or at least probably not, unless you are Elon Musk. Twitterâs new owner might have fared better than Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced cryptocurrency magnate who improbably saved Musk from winning the title of Tech FortuneâCraterer of the Year. But Musk nevertheless spent 2022 lighting billions of dollars and his reputation on fire.

Muskâs behavior raises many questions, such as Why? , Why? , and Why?! And Is he going to bankrupt this thing? He looks like he is trying to: On Tuesday evening, Musk vowed to resign as CEO of Twitter âas soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job!â He and whoever is foolish enough to succeed him certainly face a challenging year ahead. The onceârichest man on Earth took over a company losing $220 million a year and multiplied its losses by 10, if not more, according to one analystâs estimate. Twitter looks likely to bleed users, advertisers, and money for the foreseeable future. But the social network is Muskâs to fund, not just run. And heâs one of the few people on the planet with essentially limitless amounts of money to lose.
