BingoBoingo: possibly a minor typo: missing "continues" or "escalates" at the end of the first sentence |
| 13:18 |
billymg |
or change the "as" to something else |
| 13:26 |
BingoBoingo |
tyvm, fixed |
| 13:30 |
billymg |
np |
| 13:31 |

BingoBoingo: did you see the escalating feud between twitter and trump also? |
| 13:31 |
billymg |
with twitter blocking replies/retweets on one of his posts claiming it "glorified violence", and him responding by posting the same thing from the @whitehouse account |
| 13:31 |
billymg |
which lasted for a little while before they blocked that one too |
| 13:32 |
thimbronion |
Trump has had it coming for a while. He did nothing while rw twitter was decimated since 2016. |
| 13:34 |
asciilifeform |
speaking of which, recent lulz |
| 13:34 |
billymg |
thimbronion: yeah, i have no idea what is actually going on behind the scenes |
| 13:34 |
billymg |
for all i know it's all theatre |
| 13:38 |
thimbronion |
asciilifeform: yeah that's clearly not working |

Been following, but it is the problem the entire US right has. They endorse they censoring of all their coreligionists and get surprised when the banhammer comes for them. |
| 16:29 |
thimbronion |
yep |
| 16:31 |

asciilifeform still can't muster any sympathy for 'deplatformed'. stop sitting on 'platforms' . |
| 16:31 |
thimbronion |
Maybe since Trump can't tweet anymore he'll actually use executive power. |
| 16:32 |
asciilifeform |
or, wat, trump is outta pocket change to buy radio spectrum ? or can't afford to send 'journalists' to feed fishes ? |
| 16:32 |
thimbronion |
Or maybe not. |
| 16:32 |
asciilifeform |
( or, can't afford to hire the php monkeys to bake own twatter ? which is it ) |
| 16:32 |
thimbronion |
Or maybe he's been Bolsonaro'd from the start and didn't want to force the issue. |
| 16:33 |
asciilifeform |
thimbronion: or, as i said in '16 (and is afaik the only hypothesis that 100% fits the facts of his reign) was a tame zhirinovsky from day1 |
| 16:35 |
thimbronion |
asciilifeform: it could be. I lean more towards boomer innocense/stupidity. |
| 16:36 |
thimbronion |
He came up in a time when pussy grabbing was ok. Doesn't know what it's like on the street. |
| 16:37 |
asciilifeform |
thimbronion: old man didn't even lift a finger to press the buttons which nominally still wired to sumthing. e.g. his various subordinates who were jailed, did he pardon ? (theoretically there is no limit on whom can pardon) |
| 16:37 |
thimbronion |
asciilifeform: that was pure cowardice. |
| 16:37 |
asciilifeform |
cowardice in 80yo ? wat's he afraid of ? |
| 16:38 |
thimbronion |
I know lotsa 80yos afraid of corona. Terrified. |
| 16:38 |
asciilifeform |
some folx 'terrified' from cradle to grave. before plague, prolly were afraid of bees. |
| 16:39 |
thimbronion |
He's also getting really bad council from Javanka. Doesn't excuse his cowardice, stupidity and betrayal in any way. |
| 16:40 |
asciilifeform |
imho moar parsimonious hypothesis is that he worked for the beast from day1. |
| 16:40 |
asciilifeform |
( who doesn't work for the beast, cannot keep $bil in usg bank. elementarily. ) |
| 16:41 |
* |
asciilifeform recalls the lulzy mp threads where he 'clitler will starve in the darkest prison!' etc |
| 16:41 |
thimbronion |
right. And Trump was going to pull a napoleon. |
| 16:46 |

Nobody could have predicted that putting half the country out of work would result in riots. |

Hey thimbronion ... that's pretty near to me. If weren't night would go take pics. xD |
| 23:13 |
thimbronion |
shinohai: Don't flames look best at night? |
| 23:19 |
shinohai |
They do! |
