The anticipated wave has so far been very minor. Not sure about in the US, but here in Ontario there is still a very active "Zero-Covid" community. They have gone from being active against the January school re-openings, to now lobbying for the return of vaccine mandates at restaurants and mask mandates. Some (the fringe) are even blaming the rise of variants on Ontario's lack of restrictions. Of course, they are all very critical of Kieran Moore and Doug Ford.

Welcome to the Culture Wars. Reaction videos and consolidation accounts (i.e. Libs of TikTok) find problematic content, then give them false impression that an entire community/group of people is similar to the fringe. Unfortunately, too many people that believe that the fringe beliefs are significantly more widespread than they are.

85% of people suck.

I dunno. Our fight on women’s soccer…

Are you two Canadians?

He never offered them $6 billion. He was calling them out on their original bullshit claiming that it would.

That's not where I was going.

Yeah. They said how they would spend the money. But it wouldn't "solve" world hunger -- not even close. Which was Elon's point to begin with.

Do you have a link to that breakdown? $6 billion seems awful light.

I don't care what they call their convoy, this is what Rolling Thunder will always mean to me: Amazing Game

Before this gets implemented, someone should create a thread of all of the incredible takes that people are posting on Twitter about Elon Musk buying Twitter.

I'll be honest, I think that the combination of isolationism from Covid and amplification of fringe messages on Twitter cause many of these conspiracy theories to look a lot more real than they are. Are there people who are willing to overturn Democracy and break the rules (rather than bend them), absolutely. Do I think they can "steal" an election that is not close. No.

That is also a rather cynical take.

That's a pretty cynical take.

I am now convinced that all Tesla owners are planning on boycotting Twitter.

@Jason WRT new thread title -- didn't Musk call someone a Pedo Guy? Rather than Musk being the pedo guy?

I didn't realize that Kotaku was still around.

It can be a problem on iPhone as well. I never had a problem until I upgraded my 6S to a 13. Now, it is on and off.

I thought the argument was that Game Pass caused people to spend more on video games?

He doesn't line up with either the Republicans or Democrats -- and has mostly been apolitical. He claims to be an Independent, and has donated pretty equally to both parties. Idealogically, he is all over the map. In the past he has been (somewhat) critical of Trump, strongly supportive of green house gas reduction initiatives, critical of pronouns in non-LGBT+ Twitter bios, supported Andrew Yang, is anti-union, is anti-business subsidies (sometimes), is anti-lockdown, pro-vaccine, anti-vaccine mandate. He is inconsistent and mercurial.

Someone will have to do a training piece on how to direct link videos/pictures that have been uploaded to Twitter.

He's probably closer to being a moderate. What that means in the US: 1) If you are far right wing, he is a Liberal 2) If you are far left wing, he is a Conservative

Meanwhile in Canada this weekend.
