@georgetakei repeat after me: "There is no such thing as systemic bias or discrimination". (3 times, please)

Is an "existence disproof" a thing?

@georgetakei so who is it paying men to defend misogyny?

@georgetakei you can’t make this up, this is just too funny. If there ever was a point …

The Daily Beast is reporting that Elon Musk ordered engineers to switch off his Starlink satellites just as Ukraine was preparing to attack the Russian naval fleet with drones. He said he feared nuclear retaliation by Russia. It’s high time we ask the question: How much power and influence does it make sense to hand just one person?

@georgetakei you'd think that there should maybe be consequences for single handedly undermining foreign policy like that

Dom

@georgetakei he did a similair thing to bitcoin. Whilst the two are not comparable. He causes some major geo political issues.

This is not how to deal with climate change.

**CALLING ALL FRIENDS, ADVOCATES, AND ACTIVISTS** A leaked e-mail from a Texas Department of Protective Safety trooper documents the remarkably cruel measures Governor Greg Abbott has instituted at the border to deter crossings. These include hidden razor wire traps, the withholding of water even in extreme heat, and orders to push migrants—including children and infants—back into the Rio Grande where they might drown. The sight of razor wire to corral innocent human beings has echoes for me personally, when similar wire surrounded the Japanese American internment camps of my youth. We cannot let Governor Greg Abbott get away with this. I'm calling on you, my friends, advocates and activists, to help put a stop to this by signing the petition demanding the Biden Administration puts an end to these inhumane practices against migrants in Texas.

Elon managed to chase NPR from his platform. He’s slowly poisoning everything there, yet he remains toxically lacking in self-awareness of his actions.

@georgetakei Does Elon remind you of anyone else in the news?

johnhansarick

@georgetakei Then there's the people who say "This is part of this plan - to chase away legit news!"

I don't think it was part of his plan - just his excuse.

lol @ all the quixotic fools in these comments who think "well, if it's not strictly illegal, then women won't still be arrested/fined/banned for going topless in public?" oh you sweet, cis male summer children.

@droct disappointed that I can’t find any follow on stories from after the incident.

My mastadon link at my pinned tweet on Twitter is now warning anyone who clicks on it that the sight may be “unsafe.”
You know what actually feels unsafe right now? Musk on Twitter.

@georgetakei it surrealistic, funny, absurd and sad at the same time.

Hard to imagine what drives a billionaire to completely ruin his own 44bn investment ...

Luc Bernier

@georgetakei Same thing is happening to me over there. So ridiculous

DionyZack (backup account)

@georgetakei Same in France.
I AM NOT DANGEROUS but ELON DON T LIKE FREEDOM. 🖖

George Takei

Now Musk is saying if Apple and Google block Twitter on their app stores, presumably for failure to moderate hate speech and for safety, he will just create a new phone.

So it’s going well, right?

@georgetakei yeah Elon, Start making Muskphones. That’ll drain cash faster than 3 Twitters. #Blackberry#Nokia#Motorola#Kyocera

@georgetakei I think drugs are involved now. Not weed, serious drugs

cyndeebee

@georgetakei Are we taking serious bets yet? I want in.

George Takei

It’s good to see engagement and use growing here. It would be healthy to have a social platform free of the billionaire oligopoly and the corporate ad folks, don’t you think?

@georgetakei I don’t see why people say this platform is difficult. It’s as easy to use as twitter. It just needs more people, which it’s rapidly getting.

Pyne

@georgetakei let’s be fair, we’ve always been advertised to but I don’t think ads have ever been so invasive in our lives.
Can you imagine if every letter we got had an ad at the end?

@georgetakei I'm glad my choice is the big one. Give me the runs any day. (As a person with IBS, that's my reality lol)

“I alone can fix it” didn’t work in the White House, and it didn’t work at #Twitter.

@georgetakei I alone can fix it never works. I alone can break it almost always does.

@georgetakei Such a relief people I follow on Twitter are here. Phew!

I’m boldly going where I haven’t gone before, which is right here at this site. Apparently this is a “toot.” I would appreciate a follow!
