McCarthy: “hard-right Republicans want to burn the whole place down!”

Moderate Democrats: “so you’ll work with us instead, to pass legislation that keeps the lights on, and addresses some of the problems we both agree exist?”

McCarthy: “No. Fuck you. Die in a fire.”

I’m sure there were a huge swath of people who used Twitter and didn’t care at all about Musk one way or the other.

Then he rebranded and threw his ego and control in everyone’s face. And all the people who like Twitter IN SPITE of Elon were now forced to acknowledge that their Twitter is gone.

Just like over at reddit now, the latest move has alienated the people who really cared about the platform itself. If they rebranded to “Spez’s World”, though, a lot of the people who didn’t give a shit before would suddenly be ready to bail.
