In my opinion, you should buy the worst website you can think of.

Hi Bluesky! 👋🏽 I'm a reporter covering journalism innovation and the future of news for @niemanlab.org!

I'm interested in business models, creative engagement strategies, and journalist-driven efforts to move our industry forward. I love international stories and learning about news in new places!

But only after you purchase the best website.

demwriter.bsky.social•226 days ago

To move the industry forward, you'll have to go back. Back to when journalists report on a speech or presser, but then use that information to delve deeper into something, do some footwork, take some risks. Actually reporting news that benefits people instead of news that everyone already has.

udjg.life•227 days ago

Not certain I can afford X.
Yet.

tseikkis.bsky.social•227 days ago

Won't take long for it to become cheapy cheapy, Elon's doing a fine job in reducing the price of this commodity :D

renerefski.bsky.social•227 days ago

Was curious if this means you're now in the videogame business, too?

lonestarjones.bsky.social•227 days ago

Can you buy https://Tigerdroppings.com and kick out all the Qanon football fans in their hellscape political board (that has deleted evidence of users being at the Capitol on J6)

pyrrhongobbler.bsky.social•227 days ago

Sorry Tim I don't have $44 billion laying around

jodami.bsky.social•227 days ago

I’d offer £25 and a box of ping pong balls.

https://Farmers.co.nz is a whole different sort of site…

Or you could buy a decent one and efficiently ruin it! #DOGE me how!

stuartoneill.bsky.social•227 days ago

I agree. Buy the worst news website and use it as the LAB.

risibledog.bsky.social•227 days ago

Looking forward to Global Tetrahedron’s inevitable acquisition of The Post Millennial

tunaduck.bsky.social•226 days ago

Timecube guy isn't selling :(

phrebh.bsky.social•226 days ago

Turn 8chan into a TV rerun site.

monlynn1969.bsky.social•226 days ago

How awesome would it be to buy Stormfront and turn it into a weather forecasting site?

morganmghee.bsky.social•227 days ago

Like real estate, buy the worst house in the best location.

llamapocalypse.bsky.social•227 days ago

I sure hope the judge sees through Jones nonsense and allows your purchase of Infowars go through.

shellyhuskey.bsky.social•227 days ago

Buy Fox News and I’ll be impressed… (take that as a dare!)😉

benfromtx.bsky.social•227 days ago

Okay…

Hey Tim, you interested in selling https://Infowars.com?

mistireed.bsky.social•227 days ago

Too late. You already bought it! Wait... is Twitter on the table for you...?

joshdobbin.bsky.social•227 days ago

Every time I read your username I laugh my ass off, lol

rachs80.bsky.social•227 days ago

Tik tok.

goobermunch.bsky.social•227 days ago

Once is coincidence.
Twice is happenstance.
Three times is you owning Twitter.

scholarerrant.bsky.social•227 days ago

I now have a potentially hilarious idea that hinges on trademark abandonment.

goobermunch.bsky.social•227 days ago

Intriguing.

coreyryung.bsky.social•227 days ago

I don't think Elon will sell, though.

gryphonmyers.dev•227 days ago

My fantasy: any remaining value gets drained by millions leaving, it goes up for sale pennies on the dollar, bsky or associated activists buy it (including Twitter IP), bsky becomes the canonical twitter

wiredfire.spacecookies.co.uk•227 days ago

hawkwindsgong.bsky.social•227 days ago

Sell it? I think he'll struggle to give it away 😆

kkinsf.bsky.social•226 days ago

It's still valuable as his propaganda tool.

hawkwindsgong.bsky.social•226 days ago

Until it's not, and let's hope the coming months are far more turbulent for him than it is for you guys over there.

I hope Elon becomes Time person of the year as nothing will get under Trumps skin more than that and doom their relationship.

Good luck.

davidgerard.co.uk•226 days ago

sir tim will buy X Corporation for 44c

metalmagic.bsky.social•227 days ago

Statistically speaking, it can only go up from there.

flavorcryptid.bsky.social•227 days ago

But I can't afford lemonparty.

teamquimby.bsky.social•227 days ago

We can split it if we find a third

digiphile.bsky.social•227 days ago

I look forward to you all posting truths in 2029

rocketmike.bsky.social•226 days ago

It's the only choice. And it's brilliant!

Occupy the land they want, but fill it with content they find repulsive

What would be a suitable website name🤔

...makeamericagreater.com
...trumpforeveryone.com
...Journalistsformaga.com

viradechtis.bsky.social•227 days ago

Based behavior, honestly.

spencerwindes.bsky.social•227 days ago

Currently googling the market value of the New York Times….

derek.bsky.social•227 days ago

Serious question. If you were there in the studio, when the takeover happened, did you wear a frog costume?

gumball41.bsky.social•226 days ago

I solemnly swear to purchase Stormfront and change it from the inside out.

bradleycbarth.bsky.social•227 days ago

Do Fox News next.

demshenaniganss.bsky.social•227 days ago

Best thing about buying hot garbage... even if the result is mediocre it is a vast improvement.

friend0w0.bsky.social•227 days ago

I have a cup of change....*Purchases bunghole[DOT]org*

londondanish.bsky.social•227 days ago

While you’re at it, you may as well purchase cornholio[dot]TP too.

sunnasmilieu.bsky.social•227 days ago

Is bung[dot]hole not available?

friend0w0.bsky.social•227 days ago

Yes but the [dot]org gets me closer to The Bunghole Organization recognized by the greater Bunghole communities. And hopefully, fingers crossed, eventual tax free status as the "church of bunghole"

It's all mind mapped out XD

sunnasmilieu.bsky.social•227 days ago

Oh, yeah that makes sense. Contact me if you need a minister. I can bung the hole out of anyone.

friend0w0.bsky.social•227 days ago

That's the kind of moxy I appreciate, and will definitely file your resume where the sun doesn't shine, which in our organization is the highest compliment I can give.

sunnasmilieu.bsky.social•227 days ago

I also suggest the title of Bungmeister

kitchieg.bsky.social•227 days ago

I am laughing entirely too hard at this. It's a whole mood I think.

sunnasmilieu.bsky.social•227 days ago

It is, indeed, very demure.

Back in gwb presidency i flirted with idea of starting FNI news service - Future News International. Absurd yet truthful news articles of future events.

Ahah! Thank you for your amazing business choice!
And in case you want to make it even more cool, I got this idea when first reading the news… 😉
