    Indeed it is. Seems like the sports gif accounts I followed have all left or stopped posting. I almost never see any NBA highlights on my timeline anymore unless Wob posts it.

    Isn’t the Following page subject to an algo as well? Thought you had to go third party for a pure chronological timeline.

    He's prob just going to tank Twitter, lose $44b and nothing will really change for him personally. Idk if even any of his stans have had their opinion changed. Whammy completely avoids this thread now seemingly.

    I was at a kids birthday party and one of the dads who I’ve gotten to know well enough to chat with but not know their politics was there. Somehow Elon comes up and I just assume everyone is on the same page and I say he’s a fucking idiot and other dad disagrees…says no matter what he did the right thing because he exposed the lefts abuse of Twitter who was “spying” on the other side.

    So yeah, they’re going to say he was a martyr and lost all this money for the good of humanity.

    Someone here said the some tweets from people you follow were only showing up the for you tab. I know I was not seeing everything pasted by people I follow, although I have no idea if there were moved or just not showing up.

    Regardless, I’m with you. It is a noticeable drop in activity on Twitter for me in the last few days or so.

    You vastly underestimate how “online” you are (just by being on TMB) vs what the rest of the world consumes. Musk is still getting CNBC profiles and puff pieces. Very few people go beyond that.

    My search seems to have changed. It used to auto populate with suggestions for topics and now it just shows me accounts. I have to type in the pull phrase and hit search to see results beyond just accounts. Anyone else?

    edit: nm guess I should have researched for 30sec. Here’s my answer.

    Fwiw our public transportation in Vegas really sucks. But vegas is like the perfect picture of urban sprawl so efficient public transportation isn’t exacty something they can build over night. Making the bus system better would improve the quality of life for countless casino employees. And also having single lane tunnels for cars to drive in under ground seems like the dumbest and most inefficient solution imaginable. Like something a 5th grader would come up with.

    Randomly accusing someone of being a pedophile should have at least given away his political leanings.

    I love that it's just a fucking tube. I guess their engineers worked hard on that. There was also a video at the time of a guy getting in it and NO FUCKING THANK YOU at getting into that thing. I would lose my mind.

    I'm all for the tube if that's the only place that Teslas are allowed to use FSD.

    Also remember when this dumb fucker tried to sell this idea to cities in FL?

    It was originally supposed to be a hyperloop underground speed train and of course he wayyyyyyy overestimated how feasible it was to construct something like that. Another thing I read is that this kind of car shit is also getting funding to help continue to show we don't need actual mass transit.

    This. anyone with a brain looks at that and sees humans have been doing the same shit with trains for nearly 150 years.

    Replacing the underground train with an underground automobile is the most mayonnaise white american concept imaginable. Who would invest in a more inefficient mode of transportation other than Miami and Vegas.
