His return is being marked with an interview with Musk, Tate, Gaetz and Vivek. Fucking should've just taken that 44 billion and flushed it, would've served humanity better.

I know he isn’t super beloved, but Geoff Tate seems out of place in that line up.

Sickening.

Why?   If he says something you think is harmful, counter it.  If he says something false, correct it.  This is probably a better conversation for P/R, but while I'm vaguely aware of why he was banned in the first place, the reinstatement isn't that controversial.  He was accused of wrongdoing, paid the price - literally (though that was, importantly, a CIVIL trial not a CRIMINAL trial) and we move on.  Isn't that how it goes?  When Joe Biden plagiarized that essay in Law School, he paid the price and we moved on. When he plagiarized that speech back in the... what was it, the 80's?   He paid the price and we moved on. Why does that only apply to the people "we like"?

Did everything on Twitter get purged?  This is what I see on my timeline at the moment.

Mine looks normal.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

It had major issues last night. All topics for me returned the 'Couldn't find anything' message. Loads of people got logged out or got that Welcome to X message.

I didnt notice issues but I saw some people said they had issues.

I actually had issues with instagram last night, no joke, I opened it and scrolled and all I saw were RJ's instagram pictures from months ago.  I mean, it had some other really old pictures from people I know as well, but it seriously was mostly RJ.  So weird. Looks to be better today.

It was down for a couple of hours around 6-8 European time this morning. These outages are becoming more and more frequent. Guessing the maintenance staff has been gutted compared to a year ago.

On another topic, anyone else noticing the absolute horse shit that is being advertised nowadays? I got an ad for a bra designed for octogenarians today...

If they were the pics of my parent's dog it was totally worth it. She's so damn cute.
