Things that did not make you sad, mildly upset, happy or emotional today
« on: April 04, 2022, 08:48:34 am »
Sometimes I come across a news item that doesn't fit in those other threads and I don't know where to post it.
So behold, this is the thread for 'things that sparked your interest in a totally non-emotional way'.


Elon Musk just became the largest shareholder of Twitter.

Presumably, Elon learned from Trump the only reliable way to guarantee your ability to use Twitter is to own it. Smart man

A Twitter user was sentenced to the worst punishment of all time over an offensive tweet, he was sentenced to 150 hours of going outside, will he survive touching grass and seeing sunlight?

How often are British MPs prosecuted under that law?

British MPs tend not to post things like that.

They prefer to hold parties instead.

Elon Musk have been given a chair in Twitter's board of directors.
According to Twitter, he has agreed to not acquire more than a total of 14.9% of Twitter for as long as he is member of the board (he bought 9.2% yesterday). His appointment is until 2024.

Elon Musk waived his position on the board.
It is unknown why.
Perhaps he wants to buy more than 14.9% of Twitter first haha

The tweet was dumb however the law is dangerous. A scottish judiciary shouldn't be the judge of what is permissable to say or not
