#GreatAmericanJokeParty National Guard, Marines, police — they’re our neighbors, led by a Joke. So let’s party when they show up: dancing, DEI food, celeb acts, properly permitted. America needs a reason to party. Let’s show we Get the Joke. #ResistDonaldTrump #EndOligarchy

My new hashtag for @DonaldTrump : #FixItAsshole - to be appended to every difficult systemic problem that he promised to fix in a day for the next four years. Let's see. #Hashtags

@elonmusk What's all this babble of population collapse. Civilization thrives on the quality of contribution per citizen, not the total number. Importing tens of millions of African migrants from areas that have never known electricity or running water and bragging about growth is idiotic.

The problem with “Great Replacement Theory” is that it fails to address the foundational issue of low birth rates. Record low birth rates are leading to population collapse in Europe and even faster population collapse in most of Asia. Immigration is low in Asia, so there is no “replacement” going on, the countries are simply shrinking away. If this doesn’t turn around, then any countries on Earth with low birth rates will become empty of people and fall into ruin, like the remains we see of the many long dead civilizations.

@elonmusk Obvious from the demographic data that more developed countries with restrictive immigration policies are facing accelerating population decline with huge economic implications. Modelling shows continued economic dominance of America depends on healthy immigration inflows.

@BarackObama Mr President, I remember you as one of the most eloquent and thoughtful Leaders our country has ever had, but as shown by many of the shitheel comments here, we didn't deserve you. Bill Richardson was a great Leader too.

As a member of Congress, a Cabinet member, a Governor, and as an Ambassador, Bill Richardson was one of the most distinguished public servants of our time. He was a tireless diplomat, the type of advocate who brought a glimmer of hope – and in many cases freedom – to those Americans detained abroad under the most trying circumstances. I was grateful for his counsel over the years, and Michelle and I send our love to his wife Barbara and his entire family.

@KanganaTeam Watching you for the first time in your film Queen and was struck by something that this quote confirms, that you are a holder of Dakini wisdom. I encourage you to seek out my Guruma, Khandro Thrinlay Chodon of Manali - if not a Teacher you will definitely find a kindred spirit

I grew up with an inbuilt feeling of being out of place, I traveled miles and build homes of my dreams, farm houses, cottages. I felt happy, content even at peace but I never felt at home. Slowly it started to get evident that may be we don’t belong in this body, life is just a fleeting phase, we must recognise that and never try to be at home. Ever since I acknowledged that I feet at home. This was my learning of 2023, if you too feel out of place and it seems to you that you don’t belong anywhere remember you are on your way home♥️

Short daytime naps may keep brain healthy as it ages, study says dlvr.it/SqxBQ9

@elonmusk Neurons form novel connections, especially during dreams. @Twitter needs to learn to dream.

Because it consists of billions of bidirectional interactions per day, Twitter can be thought of as a collective, cybernetic super-intelligence

@elonmusk How do we all apportion the $8? I think to get viable units for the transaction we will need to use either Zim $, or Dogecoin

To all complainers, please continue complaining, but it will cost $8

@elonmusk @Twitter ban the bots. AI vs AI better.

@elonmusk think global act local. Local news and events are a neglected space. Give more airtime on @Twitter

@elonmusk Can @Twitter be used to encourage civic involvement and volunteerism? #handhearthead . Doing stuff with others leads to positive thinking.

@elonmusk @Twitter as a tech has the capacity to break silos, unlike FB, Instagram, or Google. Use this.

@elonmusk how about a divisive to inclusive, and truth to fantasy spectrum rating system. Like rotten tomatoes with a 💩 rather than a splat indicating 'totally obnoxious fabricated bullshit'. Use humour to positive effect.

@elonmusk the real opportunity with Twitter is to viralise inclusive solutions to the world's WICKED problems. Rather than ban idiots, let them stand side by side with sanity. Break the echo chamber! Give airtime to intelligence! No one on the internet is doing this.

@AHershman10 @CeIndeed @WajahatAli @MrJonCryer Get a freggin electric, you'd save most of that $4 a gallon, especially with home/business roof top solar and battery. There is no economic excuse for whinging about the price of gas these days.

Goldman Sachs says not passing BBB will cause an economic slowdown. Campaign on that 24-7 and hang it around 50 Republicans and Manchin. Bring it to a vote and make all vote against it.

@donwinslow @Sen_JoeManchin Quite a bit from my self managed super! But enough about me, it was a sad day for America and the whole world.

Why is no one talking about how @Sen_JoeManchin tanked the stock market today? How much money was lost?

@PhillipAdams_1 Alive but chastened

Any news? Has he been returned to us?
