All of them female speed skaters, no doubt.

Yeah, I forgot about all those Elizabeth Hurley selfies. But even then I tire before viewing 100 at a sitting.

Donât know. There is some talk on twitter that some of the issues are due to Twitter trying to avoid paying Google money as they use their cloud systems and the contract was up to 30 June.
I can see Zuckerberg setting up a rival and becoming the main operator in this space.
Musk paid $44 Billion for Twitter in a moment of arrogance. He tried to back track but the courts said he had to go through on it. Since then he has gutted the staff and ruined the platform. People have left in droves, and he has moved the âdialsâ in a direction that stifles free speech.
Today Twitter is worth $10-15 Billion, at a guess. He has lost tens of billions of dollars and ruined something that was once useful for many people.
Hence I think the space is ripe for Zuckerberg to come in and dominate.
And while Iâm on it, has anything happened about their fight yet? Musk shouted the odds, Zuckerberg accepted. Musk, the showman, shouted a bit more. Zuckerberg calmly said yes letâs do it. Dana White is interested. Vegas is perfect for this sort of thing.
Not a fan of Musk, at all, these days.
He will lose $44 Billion but that wonât hurt him as much as getting his ass kicked by a much smaller nerd in the ring.

Iâd have thought thr natural successor to a failing Twitter would be Bluesky?
Actually, he could have busted the deal by paying Twitter a $1B breakup fee, which even at the time seemed the wiser move. Certainly, one of the losingist deals in recent memory.

Fair enough.
Stupid bugger then! Had a chance to take a modest loss, but his pride ensured it compounded.
Love it!

Anyone here on Reddit! Whatâs your experience?
It can be helpful if you join a subreddit about something very specific e.g I am in a subreddit for a mobile game which is good for keeping up to date with updates and reading tips from other players.
The bigger and broader the subreddit is though, the worse things get. Unless youâre on the âunpopular opinionâ one donât dare posting an unpopular opinion or people will come for you.
Also some of the mods can be overly heavy handed. I got threatened for a complete ban from one thing where I asked a question and somebody answered it and I didnât reply to them within two days.
tldr: Like all social media it can be a great tool for support and discussion when done right but can equally very quickly become highly toxic
Like how they decided to just ignore facebook altogether. Itâs now Instagram owner Mark Zuckerberg

Nobody under 30 knows what facebook is
A piece on the Metaverseâs utter failure.
We were told we were getting flying cars, but then we saw the people trying to sell them to us are fuckwits and we decided to lower our expectations of a micro blogging site that works well enough to show you the comments of the people you have chosen to follow.
My take-away: donât believe one word of what is written on this platform.

@cynicaloldgit It seems we have a young diciple showing promise in the force 
One of the biggest obstacles each new social media site has had has been the absence of such an equivalent word for âtweetâ. In some cases the silliness of the proposed term is what has damaged their credibility.
Musk announced over the weekend that heâs ending the twitter branding and going with X. Heâs already gone live with the change in icon
