World's greatest businessman turns out to be imbecile.

Wasn't that supposed to be Trump ?

It was around the time Musk announced his support for Trump that he booked a one way ticket to Stoopid Town. Who the hell picks an unnecessary fight with Google?

The density of far right bots on Twitter is becoming overwhelming so have set up a Threads account. I don’t mean Farage or GBNews for eg but really evil stuff from bogus accounts.

Can you search for keywords? My timeline is full of Kardashians and the search function is for member names.

[Boiler]

Well, someone seems to prefer Twitter...

Mark Zuckerberg’s Threads? The app is vapid, boring and destined to fail

Backfilling much?

And where does our intrepid reporter dig for such scoops? BTL on the mail, of course!

[Killer Whale]

Wait. They just take kidneys out of randomers and then try to find recipients that match? Before the kidney starts to die too much? How the fuck would that work?

[Abernathy]

An urban legend, of course, and has been so since Adam were a lad.

And could even the best surgeon extract a kidney through the incision for inserting a breast implant?

[Rosvanian]

If only these people had the balls to be honest and say what they really mean about Turkish people. They don't because they're cowards.

Indeed. Urban legends are being discussed again as a result of the shooting of Daniel Piedra Garcia (https://news.sky.com/story/woman-shot-d ... o-12909974). They may or may not have been a factor in the shooter's thinking.

As with the kidney story there is a healthy dose of racism involved in kidnap legends, gang initiations carrying distinct Black and Latino overtones.

Fucking hell...

As of by magic, this week's Behind The Bastards podcast is covering these kidnap myths. Worth a listen

Apparently Space Karen wants to get rid of the Twitter bird and is asking for suggestions for a new logo. I sent him a cartoon of a prick.

The most recognisable thing which identifies the brand and he wants rid of it...

Elon Musk has revealed a new logo for Twitter, choosing a “minimalist art deco” X as part of a rebrand of the platform.

Reaction from the social media platform’s users has been mixed, if witty:

Musk has also indicated the design would be altered, tweeting that it “probably changes later, certainly will be refined”.

This is a bit silly. From years of shite adverts on TV, every American knows anything is better than "brand X".

[Bones McCoy]

I flew an X station during the UNIX wars.

X was a windows system of choice for those new-fangled graphical desktop workstations back in the 1980s.

[Yug]

And what about Dirty Desmond's Television X?

[safe_timber_man]

Wow...he's not even pretending anymore.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Nice brand you've got there. Shame if anything happened to it.
