No one said the war on woke wouldn't have casualties. 
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Traffic spikes during games. I in pasts WCs they have been quite large.

Right before the US mid terms was not ideal either.

Yeah and actually it'll possibly hit communities on Twitter who are maybe less affected so far.

This has been lots of fun on more political/business-y Twitter - but there's many millions who are just there to tweet about BTS or Arsenal in their respective communities. Any issues during a World Cup (especially verified accounts, perhaps) are going to cause problems for, I suspect, a far vaster audience/chunk of Twitter than what we've seen so far.
Let's bomb Russia!

Ah I see. Makes sense :)

Somebody should tell Elon that pissing off US senators at this point is not exactly a brilliant move.

Someone claiming to be Ed Markey argues with someone who claims to be Elon Musk.

I wonder if Musk may actually be going insane?  I mean literally, Bobby Fischer style insane.

I don't think it is....

I mean, I literally do not know anyone who thinks Musk is good for Twitter. I am sure they are out there, but....

I think the best you can spin this is that Twitter sucks, so watching Musk destroy it has some schadenfreude to it....

How much has Twitter increased in value after Musk's takeover, since it now has access to his ascended business savvy?

Latest estimates have the increase at -$35 billion.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
