[UPDATED with leaked audio from Twitter meeting] Noted in Passing: Twitter, where 1984’s Newspeak became “TwitSpeak”
byVanderleunonApril 26, 2022
At Twitter, those working daily to infect the world with Twitterspeak were part of… wait for it… “The Health Division”
Twitter workers face a reality they’ve long feared: Elon Musk as owner “I don’t know any non-engineer who works on health issues who sees how this helps,” said a Twitter employee in an interview in response to questions about Musk’s ownership, referring to the company’s health division that enforces rules against harmful content such as hate speech and misinformation. “Most find it dispiriting.”
“Dispiriting”? They should all be burned at their desks to prevent the brain-eating Woke Virus from infecting others.
[HT:DeWitt]
Very creepy how this “executive” compulsively refers to censorship as “health.” One imagines this is an example of the whopping internal lies Twitter corporate culture tells itself in order to stand itself.
Leslie Berland is the CMO at Twitter, and she said: “Elon made it clear in public that a large part of the reason he bought the platform was because of our moderation policies and disagreements in how we deal with health. This puts Twitter service and Trust and Safety as well as anybody who cares about health on the platform in a very difficult position.”
Health issues…. Indeed. I will wager that every sob who works for Twit or FkBk has mental issues that hamper their daily lives including forming and maintaining normal relationships, obtaining sexual satisfaction, raising children, (god forbid), harboring a dislove of country or God and that most of them have a world view that, if it could be viewed as a character, would wear garish makeup and be of no known gender…real or fantasized.

They’re all whiney now; just wait ’til they get their pink slips.
Hahahahaha!

Southern cultural appropriation! Gendered pronouns for groups just replaced ‘guys’ with ‘y’all’! They totally left out the more northern version of ‘you’s guys’. However, I do like the white list as being allowed whereas the black list is denied.

And they’re so ign’ant they can’t even get it right, the shades of meaning for you-y’all-all y’all. Millenials are blockheads.

They also left out the Pittsburgh version of “youse guys,” which is “yinz,” and has the desired advantage of being ungendered. “Yinz” is thought to have come to the Pittsburgh area from early Scots-Irish immigrants. Of course, that probably makes the word too, um, albino, shall we say.

An old Navy bud of mine used another form of y’all….youse’lls. For a Southern boy, that just ain’t right.
Could care less, never used twitter, any of that shit. My speech is just that mine. Frankly I’m amused you all would knowingly allow a bunch of communist fucks into any parts of your lives.
Also while everybody thinks twitter well Musks intend if free speech. Think ill wait,,,,,watch.

You seem to be missing the point Dirk.
Twatter’s never had anything on me but I am still enjoying the schadenfreude.
Gordon ScottApril 26, 2022, 3:36 PM
It does not matter if you care about Twitter. I’m not there, either. But once upon a time the New York Times drove the news cycle. What was in the morning edition was on the networks and other newspapers that evening.
Today Twitter does that. Like it or not, and I don’t. Twitter can promote a nothing story to prominence, and bury a story the left doesn’t want told.
Gordon, Ghost, understand your points. Our world was much simpler back then. Not anymore. I don’t trust any of “them” and I still verify.
Even the local news is only as honest as the person reporting.

Musk should hire Trump to run the joint.

Propaganda, gaslighting, obfuscation and plain old bullcrap renamed as ‘twitter engineering’.
Quite a turn of phrase.

The Eurocrats are already threatening Musk that he has to enforce their word selection tyranny. One classic way of repealing stupid laws is to enforce them to a T. Go farther and ban the flip side they didn’t ask for. So the euros don’t like “nazi”, then don’t also allow “communist” or “socialist”. They don’t allow “illegal immigrant”, then don’t also allow “legal citizen”. “Pervert”, “normal”. etc.
Basically, prevent all sides from declaring who they are or who anybody else is.
This obviously allows for gaming and the creation of NewSpeak. So what you have to do is name ’em and shame ’em. Put a face and a name to the stupid rules. Who’s the stupid jackwagon that just outlawed all the colors: white/black/brown/yellow? Who outlawed mom/dad/brother/sister? KKK/BLM? Jew/Islam?
Once most of European twitter users are constantly all the time getting their accounts suspended and having to edit or remove their tweets, especially all the poli-f’n-ticians, their vassals and NGO parasites, they’ll maybe get a clue. But that cluebat is going to have to hurt an awful lot and for a long time for these morons to give up their pretensions of rectitude.

Musk could simply say and do… “We don’t operate in any country in Europe that seeks to control our internal policies… if the citizens of a country that we do not operate in wants to participate in twitter that’s on them.”

Free speech is flammable; a trigger or a blasting cap. It is more about offense than consensus. Trump was so good at flaming the tards. When did it become my job to make anyone else relevant or to reinforce their ideas?
If nothing else, it has to become apparent to the average person that Twitter has been evil, and has become intolerable. Banning Trump? Slaps head! That’s the president!

Farkkk… If this thing gets wind of my scribbles on a *good* day, I’ll be nuked from orbit.
There’s no way this is not going to be weaponised to smell out and log BadThink.

They used to be titles but have now been transferred into nametags. Gain without pain.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
