By ARI BLAFF Elon Musk has dissolved Twitter’s board of directors and appointed himself the company’s “sole director,” according to a Monday securities filing. Immediately after completing his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter on Thursday, Musk  fired  several senior executives, including CEO Parag Agrawal. The board included nine directors. Musk’s move is the latest in a series of overhauls he is planning on implementing. On Sunday, Musk announced that Twitter was contemplating revamping its entire approach to the blue verification badges displayed on profiles to authenticate users. “Whole verification process is being revamped right now,” Musk cryptically tweeted at the time. According to Musk’s proposed plan, authenticated users will have  90 days  to decide whether they wish to pay a monthly $4.99 fee or face the potential of losing their “verified” status, technology newsletter  Platformer  reported. Among Musk’s most provocative p...

By Tyler Durden In August, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted on the Joe Rogan podcast that  the FBI approached the company warning of "Russian propaganda"  shortly before the Hunter Biden laptop story broke at the  NY Post. "Basically, the background here is  the FBI, I think, basically came to us - some folks on our team and was like, 'Hey, just so you know, like, you should be on high alert…  We thought that there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election. We have it on notice that, basically, there's about to be some kind of dump of that's similar to that. So just be vigilant," Zuckerberg told Rogan. Mark Zuckerberg tells Joe Rogan that the FBI reached out to Facebook to put them on notice that the Hunter Biden’s laptop story was similar to the previous Russian Propaganda and to be on high alert #joerogan #MarkZuckerberg #JRE pic.twitter.com/ojZHhK3isa — Giuseppe Mercadante (@itsmercadante) August 25, 2022 Now, leaked documents pro...

By THE NATIONAL PULSE Over 150 Chinese-born scientists conducting taxpayer-funded research in the U.S. are now working at Chinese Communist Party-run laboratories, often on technologies with military applications. The findings are contained in a private intelligence report conducted by the software development firm Strider, which was  obtained  by NBC News. When questioned by NBC about the report’s concerning findings, the Department of Energy (DOE) emphasized that “international collaboration is critical to its efforts” and declined to answer any specific questions. The report identifies over 150 Chinese-born scientists who have worked on taxpayer-funded projects at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in the last two decades now conducting “sensitive” research in China. Some of the research presently occurring in China has “military application, [including] hypersonic missiles, deep earth-penetrating warheads, [and] quiet submarines.” Based in New Mexico, t...

By Jim Thompson It seems like just yesterday that Joyce Carol Oates was trolling Twitter and was calling out my colleague Kira Davis (she’s running for school board BTW) for being in league with whiteness. Kira isn’t white – but because she doesn’t think like pasty white Oates, Oates assumed she was white. Hope you are correct but this sounds like (pardon the expression) "white privilege." complacency not for non-whites. https://t.co/A9H0o9ZPjb — Joyce Carol Oates (@JoyceCarolOates) September 17, 2016 Derp… Twitter is pretty famous for idiots with idiot takes and it’s particularly true of blue-checkmark leftists who have dog-piled on the Paul Pelosi attack as definitive evidence that Republicans are enemies of democracy and encouraged a crazy hippie to attack Paul Pelosi with a hammer. There is no shortage of stupid takes from the left. They love to lob hate at people on the conservative side when they think they have an issue to grab. The Paul Pelosi attack, by a lunat...

The Satanic Temple also provided certificates memorializing the "unbaptism" for $10.  By Joshua Young The  Satanic Temple  of Dallas-Fort Worth hosted a booth at the second annual Pagan Pride Fest in Tyler,  Texas  on Saturday, and invited attendees to an "unbaptism" ceremony. Independent journalist Tayler Hansen reported on the event and posted video to Twitter, writing, "The Satanic Temple is performing 'unbaptisims.' After an upside down cross is drawn on their forehead they chant 'Hail Satan.'" In the  Christian  faith, a baptism represents an individual's acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord who died and was resurrected for the forgiveness of their sins. After the Satanic Temple's "unbaptism," a person could receive a certificate memorializing the act if they paid $10. According to the Tyler Morning Telegraph , a few Christians attended the event in an effort to spread love. "We come in love, and we j...

By Brandon Morse How often have you heard this phrase about a remake or reboot? “We’re changing up the story and characters so that it’s more fitting for modern audiences.” It’s happening in almost every facet of entertainment. EA is  remaking Dead Space  for “modern audiences.”  Hocus Pocus 2 was  “adapted for modern audiences.” Splinter Cell?  Modern audience update . Snow white?  Remade for modern audiences . Many of your favorite television shows, movies, comics, and more have all had this “update” applied. The “modern audience” phrase is supposed to seem like a way to make a movie make more sense in today’s culture. That would be a horrible premise all on its own. Star Trek and Star Wars were timeless stories and while a graphical update here and there wouldn’t hurt, these respective universes didn’t need to look so much like our own cultures. But what the “modern audience” phrase really is, is an excuse to push hard-left politics into any IP, fran...
