    After vowing to make Twitter a bastion of “free speech”—and declaring just over a week ago that “comedy is now legal on Twitter”—Elon Musk announced a new policy on Sunday that will remove accounts engaging in
    the type of “impersonation” that comedians and others have using a way
    to humorously protest his takeover of the social network in recent days. “Going forward, any Twitter handles engaging in impersonation without
    clearly specifying ‘parody’ will be permanently suspended,” Musk, who
    has previously said he opposed permanent bans, including the one imposed
    on Donald Trump after the Jan. 6 insurrection, tweeted Sunday evening.
    He added that while users previously received a warning before
    suspension, moving forward “there will be no warning.” Celebrities such
    as comedian Kathy Griffin and Mad Men star Rich Sommer have already have
    their accounts removed for changing their usernames and photos to match Musk’s.

    As long as he doesn't ban spaceflightnow, I don't give a damn what he
    does with Twaddle. All I use it for is to get text messages from spaceflightnow (using Zapier) that my car will read to me on my way to
    a launch. It's literally efficaciously convenient for me to find out
    when a mission is scrubbed before I get all the way down there - and
    to do that without having to come out of Warp 8 to do it.

    I guess that means no liberals. They have been impersonating people
    with brains for decades.

    Bunches were threatening to leave but haven't done so yet. They are
    still there bitching.

    They are especially upset because Musk said, ""To independent-minded
    voters: Shared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties, therefore
    I recommend voting for a Republican Congress, given that the Presidency
    is Democratic,"

    And things like this are not being shut down:

    If Oz loses, heell continue to be a successful TV host.

    If Fetterman loses, hell go into rehab to maybe regain some function.

    Keep that in mind.

    A vote against Fetterman is a vote for his recovery.
    ~~~~
    And this mis-information has really set them off.

    BREAKING: As the new Twitter Blue is rolling out, some users are upset.

    When selecting your sex option in the profile it only has male,
    female, & other.

    If a user selects other a seek mental help pop-up box appears &
    the app makes them auto-follow @libsoftiktok.

    When asked for comment, a Twitter spokesman said: we are a private
    company and can do whatever we want. Dont like it? Build your own
    platform. Dont know how? Learn to code.

    Musk, and Twitter, are having fun at the expense of the Left. The Left
    is not happy - they have lost their platform. They do not like freedom
    of speech if they do not have their finger on the censor button.

    I have to disagree with Musk on this one. The president is a democrat
    but he is far from being democratic.

    And things like this are not being shut down:

    If Oz loses, he’ell continue to be a successful TV host.

    If Fetterman loses, he’ll go into rehab to maybe regain some function.

    Keep that in mind.

    A vote against Fetterman is a vote for his recovery.

    Boy, that's right back in their faces.

    Yeah, but us Republicans are a "threat to democracy". Can't get much
    worse than that.
