Human nature is human nature. We really have not progressed all that far in the last 2000 years.
Dear Modern Humans,
You thought you were so much smarter than people from the Middle Ages. But you're not.
Why do you think the dark ages lasted so long? It was because of greedy, insane despots who crushed progress and dangerous thoughts.
It won't end until you rise up and overthrow them all.

Imagine that. So much for free speech. How are you liking your new overlords?
Elon got ratioed so hard over H-1B visas that he immediately banned the account and had someone change the X algorithm (Probably someone on an H-1B visa.) 🙄
He also removed verification from major Conservative accounts who opposed his H-1B visa proposal.

Hi friends!
I just wanted to give a quick update on The Onion’s purchase of InfoWars, which we can’t wait to relaunch as the dumbest website on the internet.
The long and short of it: We won the auction and — you're not going to believe this — the previous InfoWars folks aren't taking it well.
