Too little too late, Jack. Perhaps you need a stronger push from your “it’s all about the growth” shareholders.

Today or Thursday, once he realises this isn’t going away, the next step will be a “sorry not sorry, mistakes were made” statement of (non-)apology. When the decativation numbers start ramping up, maybe a full ban of Jones on Friday.

I gave up on Twitter a long time ago because it was just so toxic. I finally just deleted a lingering account. The signal to noise ratio is not good, and they have this horrible track record on helping people getting dumped on by these jerks.

I wonder what changed Jacks’s mind?


Monthly investor conference call?

Nice to see Rob turn up his photo editing skills on this particular post, it’s almost nightmarish enough… though Alex Jones IRL is much worse looking.

I wonder how Jack Dorsey felt about Jones’ shout out:

Oh god, it’s still being discussed? Can humanity no longer just flush a toilet without standing around discussing and/or nibbling its contents for several months first?

having called upon his supporters to arm themselves with “battle rifles.”

What an idiot. Everyone knows bird shot is what you should use.

The weird thing is, while Jones has a big audience, they’re not that big. It’s not like dumping him is going to have a big impact on Twitter’s bottom line.

Is this weird terminology employed to avoid validating pro-gun-control folks use of “assault rifle?” which Jones et. al. claim are not a thing?

Another example of why we can’t have nice things.

It’s for hunting rodents and home defense! Sometimes i use it as a paper weight, door stop or back scratcher.

The toilet is broken, and no one with the power to fix it wants to do so as they are scared that they will lose the people who like having the smell of shit everywhere.
