So how long will it take for the government to start "regulating" Twitter?

NYT and some other hack outfit is starting a series about Tesla crashes, and some jackass who is running for LA mayor is making it a plank to outlaw self-driving cars. Musk bought Twitter, and just made the target on his back about 10x as big.

I can't tell if it's mirth or frustration I feel when reading the wokies cry and moan about how it will be so dangerous to allow Free Speech or how they are afraid that one political party might be "tuned down" by a once-noble platform like Twitter, now that Free Speech Billionaire bully, Elon Musk is the owner. They can't be so clueless, right?

Because... they are cats.

They're not all sleeping all the time. Lil' white & grey puffball is licking its paw right now. And one of them is exploring the fabric doodad at right-center.

Ah.

It would be difficult to overstate the degree to which I don't care about this.

Really, no one should care about this trial except for Mr. & Mrs. Sparrow, their attorneys, the Court, the jury, etc.

Bahahha . . . only on MT.net would everyone comment solely on the kittens, and no one even mentions the butt crack in the corner of the room.

I'm lost. Is that a euphemism for something, or do you literally see a butt-crack in the video which I'm somehow missing?


More importantly, mama-cat is in da house!

No and Yes !
Initially the still frame shot of the video link (which was repeated in numerous subsequent posts) on my computer showed a woman bent over in the room with her butt crack erupting from her pink lace panties. I realize now that it was fleeting, as all those images have since updated as this page was refreshed, but at the time when I made that post, it was quite conspicuous; plastered over numerous posts.

Carry on.

I see.


Recognizing that this is the politics thread, I'd like to point out that these kittens all have strongly-held beliefs about the conspiracy by transgendered schoolteachers to frame Hunter Biden for genetically-engineering SARS‑CoV‑2 in order to distract public attention away from the Russian invasion of Jeffrey Epstein after he leaked classified documents revealing how the chemtrail-producing chemicals carried in the cargo holds of American flight 11 and United flight 175 were actually responsible for melting the steel beams which led to the collapse of the dollar:
