The real freedom of any individual can always be measured by the amount of responsibility which he must assume for his own welfare and security.

Hehehe – Mematic changes – they happen, whether you want them to or not. 😉 And no; NFTs aren’t going to help you. The Internet can and will twist, suborn, and corrupt your memes. Indeed, that’s Rule 13, and arguing against it runs afoul of Rule 15.
I just posted about how Elon Musk Is Saving Twitter, since one of the larger purveyors of Fake News, CBS had suspended their use of the platform last Friday. I, obviously, should have added “… or not.”
Yeah, approximately 48 hours after “leaving” Twitter, they were right back at it, to my frustration and Mr. Musk’s amusement.
I really should have known that, like all good things, this wouldn’t last.
We now, as of Friday, November 19, 2022, have empirical evidence that Elon Musk is saving Twitter and greatly reducing the use of the social media platform for spread misinformation/disinformation to the world’s public. Apparently CBS has “suspended” its Twitter use. The Democrat propaganda outlet has indefinitely put a hold posting new tweets in the wake of Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter and his subsequent cessation of censoring voices that run contrary to the Lamestream Media’s comfort.
It is thought that other media outlets which purport to be journalism will do the same in the coming days, weeks, or months. And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, would go a long way towards saving Twitter from continuing to be the Orwellian, Social Justice Safe Space the ex or soon to be ex staff turned it into over the years.
So, much to the chagrin of Liberals, Progressives, and other crybullies, Musk is saving Twitter.
Ah, the ongoing, low-grade fear of artificial intelligence. It’s been with us sense the early writing of Asimov, and continued on through the works of Williamson, and the Sentinels of Marvel. And. let’s not forget the Terminator and Matrix franchises. But, I’m not especially worried about it. Hell! AI may have already happened and the newly self-aware synthetic lifeform(s) just suicided or went catatonic immediately (At least to our low frame-rate observations)
