You shouldn't buy it. She has nothing going for her, here. In England she's not going to be stared at with people whispering, "Didn't that used to be Ellen DeGeneres? Too bad we all found out what a jerk she is behind the scenes." "Yeah. What a phony!" "Was she ever funny?" Etc.
Who?
There have been lots of people who announce they're leaving Twitter, but they always come back. They all announced they were leaving for Mastodon. Now they're all leaving for Bluesky. Eventually they'll all be leaving for something else.
At least some of the people who promised to leave America if Trump got elected are actually leaving this country. I think they really thought people would miss them. "O, noes! Don't leave, Ellen! You haven't done anything worth watching in years, but someone will miss you!"π

And note the number of "likes." Good thing the place isn't "toxic." π
The great thing about Twitter is the Community Notes. If someone likes or retweets something that isn't true, folks can flag it, and the Community Notes people investigate it and we all get to see the truth, with links to credible sources.
This works for conservative tweets as well as liberal tweets. Folks saying it's just a "right-wing echo chamber" obviously don't spend much time on it. In fact, a lot of people are complaining that the "For You" feed has a lot of liberals we've never heard of and certainly would never follow on it. The "Following" feed IS made up of folks we follow. But frankly, I spend more time on the "For You" feed, because it's more varied and interesting.
So it's only a right- or left-wing echo chamber on Twitter/X if you want it to be. What's odd is that the liberals could have a liberal echo chamber with the "Following" feed, but apparently the liberals don't like that conservatives even exist on Twitter.
I was trying to remember Mastodon's name. It was supposed to be the hot alternative to X. Same thing happened to it that's happening to Bluesky -- it became a magnet for "minor-attracted persons."
I hope TMC-4 is getting paid for shilling like this....
They're both doing poorly right now. They overplayed their hands, and realized too late that being the PR outlet for the Biden Administration and the DNC wasn't going to work when they were trying to tell people that what they saw with their eyes in the stores wasn't what was really happening. No, boys and girls. It wasn't a great economy, and Americans don't continue to tune in any media that'll pee down their back and tell them it's raining.
It's nothing less than the best acting that Mel Gibson has done.
Never liked Julia Roberts. She always came off as if she was a real jerk in real life. Which I hear is true.
Just today, I got to see three more pedos billing themselves as MAPs -- Minor Attracted Persons. They're big over there.
Brooklyn Dad said the site needed to steal all the good ideas from Twitter/X, which sounds to me as though the site doesn't function as well as Twitter does, isn't as user-friendly, and the paid Democrat shill is misses his old home BAD!
We're enjoying the break from the stupidity. We can check in on it with tweets from "Libs of Bluesky." Meathead announced he had to wander off to a retreat to get away from everything and try to regroup after that nasty dose of democracy. Same with "Marπ«." Jo Jo from Jerz proves constantly that she's trash with a sewer-mouth. And I'm just not feeling the joy and love we were told the Dems radiated. O, well.
As much as they whine over there, I get the feeling they're going to be back eventually.
Oh. One more thing. The snowflakes are constantly reporting anything that gives them the sads. They've been making the site meltdown occasionally with an average of 3000 reports from whiners a day.
Something tells me it's not going to "defeat" Twitter.
Meanwhile, Musk is thinking of buying MSNBC now that rumor has it it's on the auction block. Joe Rogan says he's interested in taking Rachel Maddow's slot if Musk buys the crippled network.
You're right. Except that he had a way of projecting a kind of charm -- which in the movie biz is sometimes all it takes.
What he lacks is gravitas. I was thinking of the difference between Denzel and Hanks in Philadelphia. Denzel wasn't given as much to do, he didn't get to show his range, but he had the gravitas. Even playing someone who was dying of a horrible disease, Hanks still seemed too light. They picked him for the role because he had that boy-next-door quality, and was likable, not because he could reach through a screen and rip your heart out.
People liked to compare him to Spencer Tracy. Tracy had gravitas. He was in demand into his old age because he could command a screen. Once Hanks started losing his boyish looks, folks could find what he offered elsewhere, with a face to match. Hanks should be getting meaty, character-driven roles at this point in his career. Of course, they're not writing things like Judgment at Nuremberg anymore. But if they were, Hanks hasn't the chops to play them.
Thank you!
