Administrator Toups Posted April 28, 2022 Administrator Share Posted April 28, 2022 They’re up 18% today as of this post, so investors liked the report. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted April 28, 2022 Members Share Posted April 28, 2022 Twitter just may be staring down that same future with Bozo Elon at the helm. As dynamic as Twitter interactions can be, it's never been known as a moneymaker. Hopes Musk loses his investment, that's assuming the deal even goes through. Who knows? Maybe they might make up the shortfall after all. But they're still at a loss in the profit margin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted April 28, 2022 Members Share Posted April 28, 2022 Meta recovered some profits, yet lost users? Were they real users or just bots, like what often happens on Twitter? Which projection is the real one? I guess only time will tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted April 30, 2022 Members Share Posted April 30, 2022 I'm just glad that, barring any changes to our constitution, Elon Musk can never run for president. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted May 1, 2022 Members Share Posted May 1, 2022 As much as I detest the WH Correspondents' Dinner, it seems Trevor Noah of all people got some good burns in: And: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janea4old Posted May 1, 2022 Members Share Posted May 1, 2022 (edited) Biden's speech at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Fyi for context: Earlier at the same dinner, there were several different tributes: *A tribute to Alice Dunnigan and Ethel Payne, who were the first Black women in the White House press corps. *An "in memoriam" video honoring all the journalists from around the world who have died reporting in Ukraine. *The university students who just received journalism scholarship awards from the White House Correspondents' Association. Biden references these tributes in his speech. Biden's speech starts out with some dull jokes. At one point, in all seriousness, Biden said he was stunned that CBS had hired Mick Mulvaney (and then made a joke about that) The best part of Biden's speech, by far, is the latter part, starting at the 7-minute mark, where he talks about the importance of serious journalism (and satire).

Members Khan Posted May 1, 2022 Members Share Posted May 1, 2022 I'm sure Chuck went home afterward, stood naked in front of his mirror and reminded himself that he was good enough and smart enough "and doggone it! People like me!". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted May 1, 2022 Members Share Posted May 1, 2022 TBH, I wasn’t in the mood to watch the WHCD last night but perhaps I might watch the replay (or not) today? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janea4old Posted May 1, 2022 Members Share Posted May 1, 2022 Tribute to Alice Dunnigan and Ethel Payne, who were the first Black women in the White House press corps. The first part of Gayle King's speech is off-topic rambling, which you can ignore. The tribute starts at 2:35. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 1, 2022 Members Share Posted May 1, 2022 Actually, you could always ignore pretty much anything Gayle says. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted May 1, 2022 Members Share Posted May 1, 2022 CBS Mornings, the show that Gayle co-hosts did a profile piece on Dunnigan and Payne and it was pretty good. They spoke to relatives who helped to tell their stories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 2, 2022 Members Share Posted May 2, 2022 Once I saw that he made a jab about Afghanistan (which for all the talk of media criticism, is exactly what they would have done), I decided not to bother. I really don't like Trevor Noah anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
