(+) Yeah! (+)

still bold move to basically pull the "sorry, poll had too many options. will redo" move again, this time on a yes/no poll lol

this does potentially lead to a funny situation where he runs the Blue-only poll and it gets like 30,000 votes, revealing how barely anyone is paying for that shit

After the first Twitter Blue poll all future ones will just have vote counts hidden and we'll just have to trust that "user engagement has never been higher. people have come up to me, crying, saying 'sir we've never seen these kinds of numbers before.'"

that response made me actually mad

people who already like the state of Twitter/Elon enough to pay $8 a month for basically nothing are not a good representation of the userbase.

if Elon wants more people to sign up for blue, he should probably listen to what the non-blue people have to say instead of listening to the morons he already convinced. Does he think people are going to give him $8/month just to vote in these polls? Come on.

Is Elon in some space suit in his profile picture

I'm not gonna click on these Twitter links but god he looks like such a dork

House Ways & Means voted to release Trump's tax returns from 2015-2020 since it finally cleared all the obstruction in the courts.

Reporters have been going through it over the night (it happened late last night) and nothing that would likely surprise people here so far from what I can see:

It covered six years of returns from 2015-2020. In 2016 and 2017 he paid $750 in federal taxes. In 2020 he paid zero. A bit more eyebrow raising (but again not shocking) is that despite the IRS having a mandatory program requiring audits of POTUS, Trump's returns weren't selected for audit until 2019 - literally the day Congress requested the returns. That also means that, of course, his constant claims that he couldn't release them because he was under audit was a lie.

It was already a lie because there is nothing prohibiting someone from sharing their return even if it is being reviewed.

Awful tentative court opinion here in CA:

Not only does it hurt humans, it is bad for animals, too. According to the National Park Service (NPS) in the United States, noise pollution has an enormous environmental impact and does serious damage to wildlife. Experts say noise pollution can interfere with breeding cycles and rearing and is even hastening the extinction of some species.

It doesnt make any sense to consider people moving to a city a net environmental impact because those people already exist whether theyre in that city or elsewhere

And yes I know what noise pollution is. Its not pollution in the environmental sense; noise isnt causing any long term damage to the environment.
