It botheres me that it's -59% and not -69%.

It's not because 69 is all that funny, but because it's not very funny. It was a low effort joke that Elon dragged into the toilet and pissed all over, so it belongs in there with the rest of them.

I also thought they had the opportunity to draw two black lines in an X over the dead twitter logo bird.

I am so fucking tired of Elon Musk this Elon Musk that. Did you see what Elon Musk did the other day with the x y z thing??

Gods, I wish there was an IRL filter/blocklist to filter out everything Elon Musk.

I love it, because it's becoming the de facto example of how you don't need to a good businessman or a smart person or any other excuse people bring up to justify billionaires. I don't need to spend time explaining how billionaires are not doing some magic to make billions, I can just point at Musk and say he is missing all the qualities the billionaires are supposed to have. In the end Musk is just a sadder real life version of this guy. Except there wouldn't be any police for him.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

I was able to filter posts about him and the truck using the Sync app, this has snuck through because there's no keywords in the title. I might add Tesla to the list actually.

In the same position. I've managed to reduce my Elon exposure significantly with keyword filtering but these types of memes still get through :(

Anyone able to clue me in to who the dude on the far right in the blue is supposed to be?

I’m worried about who the Goblin represents

Given there’s a certain minority group people don’t like right now

I think that's supposed to be an internet "troll". I would imagine based on what's being criticized in this image, the creator probably isn't part of the group that would use the goblin reference you're referring to

Remember, Twitter was a useful tool for political dissent. It was deliberately killed going into one of the biggest years in history for democratic elections globally.

It's a tin foil hat theory but I'm pretty convinced he deliberately ruined it and did the whole "subtle admission" by literally naming it X, as in "no" or "closed."

who still use twitter ._.

is hate site

Agreed! There's definitely better places for discourse on the Internet--especially nowadays

I created an account just to lurk since you can no longer read the site without logging in. I check the trending stuff and it's usually right wing raging about things or sports. That's about it.

Just replace the "twitter .com" with "nitter .net" on any link, and you can see stuff without logging in, which is what I use.

In case you're learning English, the better way to write that is:

Who still uses Twitter . _.

It's a hate site.

That flush lever should be labeled ‘2024 Elections’

What's the 2024 election going to change? It's very unlikely that we'll get any better than Biden.

Lol. Better than Biden? My friend, we will be lucky AF if we could maintain status quo. The choice we have is Biden (along with all his flaws. By no means he/ his admin is perfect) or full blown fascism.
