No tweets about the war but an observation that lots of people of people are making. Twitter used to be the place that you went to follow a big story in real time. That's one of the things Musk has managed to ruin about the site.
Oh my god. When Linda Yaccarino said that Visa was a “returning advertiser” she meant the company spent $10 on Twitter ads in the last 12 weeks.

When small-business owners say "I'm very pessimistic about the economy," it often just means, "A Democrat is president." Pay attention to what businessmen are doing (whether they're hiring, investing, expanding), not to what they're saying.

The US submarine force (both attack and missile boats) are the most capable machines on the face of the earth. Every aspect of the submarine technology is highly classified. The nuke payloads are extremely sensitive info. Trump has imperiled our security. https://t.co/75FixbggAm

It took them nearly 24 hours, but Fox finally reported on Trump allegedly spilling nuclear submarine secrets … for **19 seconds** https://t.co/Zsddmx381F

And it's not just Fox
Far be it for me to suggest @nytimes is biased, but wallpapering A1 w/Hillary email stories but burying a story about Trump sharing highly classified secrets re: nuclear subs below the fold on A13 might suggest the Paper of Record is not quite as liberal as people think 🙃 pic.twitter.com/hx16hkil2M

I assume the reasoning is that this positive press will prime the pump and the MSM will jump on the bandwagon, but given that the anti-vax wing of the party is pissed with Trump while most Dems have grown to hate RFK jr, this could go all sorts of interesting ways.

While the intent of the post may have been to satirize rather than to inform, learning that Rodger's dad was a chiropractor fills in a lot of the picture.
As the son of a northern California chiropractor, Aaron Rodgers speaks for ordinary Middle Americans. Lifelong Midwesterner Travis Kelce comes across as a an out-of-touch elitist.

When I got to the part about needing unemployment to rise, I thought it was going to be about inflation, not the childish need to see employees grovel.
This is truly incredible.

Billionaire property developer Tim Gurner said in September that "We need to see unemployment rise. We need it to rise 40-50%. We need to see pain in the economy. We need to remind people that they work for the employer, not the other way around." pic.twitter.com/lSh3ei29lF

me, having gone all in on a pair of sevens: the Bayesian priors are pretty damning. I can explain, but I shouldn’t have to—the probability you’d have a straight flush is vanishingly low.
The problem with pple like SBF is knowing a tiny bit of statistics to parrot abt it, but not understanding processes (that is, dynamics across time).

Yes he works for @FoxNews, but this guy has been around a long time so he surely knows that a daytime “lid” doesn’t mean no activity behind closed doors at the #WhiteHouse, it generally means more. This is pure, mindless attack-Biden-at-all-costs garbage. https://t.co/g0tS3v251g

Also my 'service philosophy' is that as an adjunct not to have a voice in the running of the dept. sucks; I have learned to value the importance of dept. service roles through the experience of being excluded from them.
