It’s fake, though given the insane shit he’s posted in the past I too was genuinely surprised it wasn’t real.
EU too
There’s a whole cast of characters too
I thought it was some pottery work at first glance. This is very neat.
It’s OK though, they offered their top moderators an offer to participate in the IPO and also sent them goodies and snacks, what more do you want ?
you will eventually get a polygraph as well
Might as well do a crystal ball or tarot reading, it’s about as useful and at least the aesthetics are nicer
With the state of Javascript being what it is, you probably can chain syllables randomly and have a fair chance of the resulting word being the name of a temporarily-existing framework
Can I have a Turing test ?
We have Turing tests at home !
Turing tests at home:
There was that PDF “hate online” report from a private company that mentioned hexbear a few years back - specifically referencing the fact that the hexbear admins had disabled part of the comments history (this was during the fork), and as such that they’d had limited data to go through as a result.
It’s truly a masterpiece
0:12.474 – Deputy Hernandez tries to stand up, but falls backwards.

Yes, apologies, I linked the blank template (and a cropped version of it at that I think).

I’ll probably get downvoted for this, but…
Tucker was and is in the trade of packaging Russian propaganda as news
And much of the US “journalists” are in the business of packaging US propaganda as news. There is just as much propaganda - if not more - in general US news. Since the US likes to portray itself as hosting a free press, one would assume (if one were pretty naive, admittedly) it would be glad to have reporting on the Russian government’s positions and communiqués.

lmao this is a CIA outlet:
The organization is chaired and run primarily by former senior United States intelligence and State Department officials. Laura Thornton, formerly of International IDEA, joined ASD as its new director in May 2021. Laura Rosenberger, chair of the American Institute in Taiwan and former senior director for China on the Biden administration’s National Security Council, previously served as a director of ASD. ASD is housed at the German Marshall Fund of the United States and its work spans across both the United States and Europe
Even the fucking Washington Post (of all newpapers !) admits they’re not exactly a source to be trusted.
Personally I’m banking on Musk ending up dead in one of his rockets, due to something stupid he’ll have insisted on despite the advice of actual engineers. It’d be far funnier.
Here you go - the closest thing at least. Here for a direct link.
Edit: the info they publish is legit, though reading about it the author seems like a techbro imbecile; I quote:
The Twitter account, created in June 2020, had been targeted by Musk beginning in 2021. He offered to pay Sweeney $5,000; Sweeney countered requesting $50,000 or an internship in one of Musk’s companies
In April 2022, Sweeney stopped tracking Mark Cuban’s travel in exchange for his friendship and business advice.
It’s good right up until the last two books or so (thinking specifically of Snuff, but also Raising Steam here), where Vimes becomes a complete parody of himself, and there is also a large drop in quality.
Maybe Pratchett’s disease had something to do with it.
