I'm no longer posting here as Musk has soiled Twitter & even a truckload of Tide Pods won't remove the stain.
Find me on Mastodon or Bluesky, or in person; that's still a thing. But also find the time to leave this reactionary sinkhole for a better place. You'll be glad you did.
Another major loss for Sen. Ted Cruz.

Oh, look.
Musk's Twitter is placing @MLB ads in the timeline of a self-professed "National Socialist," "Racialist" and "Virulent Anti-semite."

Musk has only himself to blame for the mass exodus of advertisers from this cesspool.
But he's attempting to deflect this blame on (and bully into silence) any who shed light on his catastrophic mistakes since taking over Twitter.

Advertisers should also take note of a recent survey that found the lack of hate-speech moderation on social media had "negative implications for brands" that advertise on these platforms.

Yes, moderation is good for business.
Any advertiser that thinks it's now safe to return to an unmoderated Twitter will only have itself to blame when its brands appear adjacent to some of the most toxic content in the world.

In instances where hate speech was not moderated on platforms, researchers found "negative implications for brands that advertise on the services when
hate speech was viewed."
This one's on you, Elmo:

This AM from @MollyJongFast: “This weekend I was shocked to see no reporting about prescription drug negotiations …president after president have tried [to do this]…Pharma is so mad. The swamp is losing…this will change lives and instead we’re reading about Ron DeSantis…”

As Twitter Fades, So Does Threat of Trump’s Use of It:
