Elon Musk actively worsens everything he touches. I cannot think of anything he's involved himself with that he did not ruin, damage, or otherwise negatively affect.
Nope, I meant the continent as a whole because of how whide spread the negative impacts were last time: The Canadian immigration offices being overwhelmed, Mexico being forced to pay for US construction projects, tariffs that affected intercontinental with other North American countries, ect.
Twitter has always been slimy but Elon turned it into that weird biofilm that forms on the inside of toilets and sewer pipes. Scrolling Twitter is about a pleasurable as scraping toilet scum up with my fingernail.
The rapid descent of the ad algorithm was the most telling change for me. It was like overnight it went from reputable brands to sex toys, dropshippers, and right-wing conspiracy theories.
"The informal verb grok was an invention of the science fiction writer Robert A. Heinlein, whose 1961 novel Stranger in a Strange Land placed great importance on the concept of grokking. In the book, to grok is to empathize so deeply with others that you merge or blend with them"
Superb. Thanks for sharing, but can you possibly cite the author? The journalist deserves all credit, especially in this day and age when journalism is under siege.
when you block an ad for something that's clearly spam, a scam or intended to harm, the popup you get on Twitter is an invitation to pay for a blue tick to get rid of the ads. it's just so overtly racketeering
