I'm pleased to note that even https://dolphin.town, my Mastodon server where the only letter you are allowed to post is "e", has seen increased activity in the last few days.

Thanks Eeeeelon!

The fact that banks listened to this tosh and thought “hmm, yes, this guy sounds like he’s got a great business idea” tells you everything about how smart banks are. They do more due diligence loaning a pizza shop £5k for a new oven than lending a rich man billions for a new toy.

This would be quite, quite funny.

RT @ithayla@twitter.com

elon financed his Twitter bid for 43bn (he hasn't officially bought it yet) with a loan leveraged against tesla stock.

tesla dropped 11 percent today. 110bn market value lost.

if it loses 40 percent he has to repay his loan.

it would be funny except- no. wait. it is.

It would seem I'm the first person I follow to come crawling back to Mastodon. If I wasn't, I'd post the Q mariachi video.

Her, with an air of foreboding: “The Christmas season has begun.”

Me, like a 5-year-old: YAAAAYYYY!!!

You know how there's people who use quotes to mean emphasis? I have to wonder if they are seriously misreading sarcasm quotes like: My tax cut was "super huge."

Do those people read that and think, "Wow they must have a got a pretty great tax cut!"

Only now that they’ve set up shop in every Toys R Us in America do I realize how spoooooky it is that Spirit Halloween takes over the corpses of other stores every year.
