It's finally here. Feels so surreal, this election really has been almost nonstop since J6 to me in the news. Lets hope for a good timeline.
 
Somewhat stating the obvious here, but if Trump wins this, the next 4 years will be a laser-focused attack by the establishment and incumbent governments to take full control of speech online. The talking point is going to be that X00m people were tricked by Far Right Propaganda into voting for Trump, and the only way to secure Our Democracy is to regulate all platforms that allow for the public dissemination of any form of opinion or information. The main culprit is obviously going to be X. I expect there to be another big attempt by journalists and public figures to migrate on mass to another platform like Bluesky, threads, or the fediverse, and I also expect there to be serious proposals to ban the site, at least at the DNS level, by governments of countries normally regarded as "human rights-respecting, liberal, free countries" like Britain, Canada, New Zealand, France, Germany, and Australia.

I think we'll also see a huge increase in the amount of funding pouring into efforts to break the infrastructure of the internet to strangle (the wrong kind of) independent platforms, Liz Fong-Jones style. For now X is a bit of a bulwark against this, since there's little point yoinking your average Kiwi Farms or pleroma instance offline when people are posting black sun edits and calling people the N word on a site 1000s of times bigger, but I think there'll still be a rise in attacks in a "defence in depth" sort of approach.
 
I always thought that tweet was supposed to be about the portion size if you split it 4 ways (because of the four drinks). It still wouldn't be a "small amount" but it'd be a lot closer to actually edible on a per-human basis.

Trump's already iffy about giving them essentially free military protection so they can dedicate their entire economies to globohomo, I STRONGLY doubt giving Elon an ultimatum to restrict free speech or be banned would go over well for anyone involved.

Each patty is 1/4 lbs, two patties -> double quarter pounder

Half pound could imply one big patty, they did try to use third pound patties in the past, but people thought that was less meat than quarter pound patties
