Twitter is planning to start charging $20 per month for verification/And if the employees building it don’t meet their deadline, they’ll be fired by Elon Musk. — The Verge.
Just another day at Twitter. What is troubling is the amount of pressure Twitter employees are facing now that they have a new Chief Twit, well that is what Elon Musk calls himself after he made good his promise to buy Twitter for $44 billion.
I guess that’s the end of employees quietly quitting at Twitter.
It is an expensive stage for Elon Musk to display his brand of comedy, again his words, not mine when he said — Comedy is now legal on Twitter.
Twitter Blue
Twitter Blue is Twitter with ‘extra service’ all for $4.99 a pop. Didn’t Elon Musk allegedly ask for an ‘extra service’ while in his private jet that he had to settle, whatever happened to that scandal?
You can do some “cool stuff” with a Twitter Blue subscription, at long last, you can edit a tweet.
Oh, is that worth $4.99?
Now, Elon Musk wants to bundle Twitter Blue with verified accounts. You know, that blue tick you see on accounts mostly journalists and celebrities?
But it comes with a hefty price — $20 a month or $19.99.
And if the employees don’t get it done by November 7, they will be fired as he did with Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal.
How Elon Musk funded his Twitter buyout may soon find its way to a congressional investigation because of national security concerns.
Any Saudi connection always makes people in Congress — jittery.
While Elon Musk continues to ‘play’ with his new favorite toy, Twitter, as Dave Pell said in his piece, a lot of disinformation and hate speech is now being peddled by trolls and — ehem, Republicans.
Let’s digress here and talk about blue balls, why not?
Blue balls occurs when an erection lasts for an extended period of time without an orgasm. This is also known as “epididymal hypertension.” It can be uncomfortable, but usually isn’t serious. — Healthline
You can watch the whole episode of The Doctors talking about epididymal hypertension.
but this is what caught my attention,

Which is false about “epididymal hypertension”?
C. The only way to relieve the pressure is ejaculation
C is false — It can make it worse.
So many men would use “blue balls” as an excuse to ask for sex, believing only by ejaculation would they be relieved of their pain. But it can make it worse, oops!

Final words
Twitter today. Many are leaving. Shonda Rhimes said — Byeee.
Not hanging around for whatever Elon has planned. Bye.
Elon Musk said “comedy is now legal on Twitter” but all the best jokes are about him — Indy 100
Mark Cuban believes Musk can turn the company around and may even surprise all of us that Elon can even turn his $44 billion investment into a profit.
He promised a content moderation council would be in place, but for now many are testing the waters to see if they can get away with more vitriol and misinformation.
Let me end by paraphrasing this quote from Steve Martin,
“A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.”
― Steve Martin
A day without a tweet from Elon Musk is like, you know, nightmare for the Trump Republicans.
And what he does with the Twitter bird is none of my concern, I’m not touching either the Twitter bird or its blue balls as long as they are attached to Elon Musk as I don’t care for any mutual masturbation, metaphorically speaking.
Whatever Elon Musk does to relieve the pressure with his Twitter bird, maybe he can learn from what the doctor said in the YouTube video, that ejaculation can make it worse.
