    Come on Tim Apple. Do it. You know it’s the right thing to do

    Actually, with Google recently losing in court where Apple had previously won because Google was exempting some developers from its App Store rules; Apple might be actually inclined to actually enforce its rules in X’s case lest they suffer the same fate

          He did restore faith that George W Bush decision to finish reading a children’s book when the planes were crashing into the trade centre was the best choice.

          K I still need someone to sit down with me and explain the whole “Covfefe” thing

          Edit: in homeopathic sized doses, he is objectively hilarious and tolerable. But his word salads make me wanna needa self-cannabinalize

            It was a tweet. He tweeted this absolute nonsense and everyone was like “wtf is he on drugs?”

            That’s it.

              But like has anyone tried to explain or postulate what was meant specifically by covfefe, like what was the context?

              Edit:

              covfefe = coverage

                He probably just fat-fingered his phone with a half-written tweet open. If he’d just followed that up with “…coverage I’m actually the awesomest president ever blah blah blah” nobody would’ve noticed.

                But instead it turned into this whole thing about how the tweet was meaningful and people were just too dumb to get it. Which just made him look ridiculous as usual.

                Yes. Many people have tried to explain it. Parts of the qult are claiming that it’s a cure for the covid vaccine, (Co)Cobalt, (V)Vanadium, and two (Fe) iron.

                    That’s what actually happened, yes. That doesn’t mean that many people who worship him have not tried to find an explanation that means it was completely intentional, and I think it’s worth knowing about how far people will go in his defence, even when it requires them to twist themselves into pretzels to defend something that would have been completely fine if he had just laughed it off.

                I mean it was midnight. So, I think he was trying to say something about despite a day of bad press coverage, coffee? Has allowed him to…

                Fall asleep face first on his keyboard?

                Idk.
