It's like a 15 year old got ahold of his mom's credit card and bought a social media corporation, and now he's up in his room, all juiced up on Doritos and Mountain Dew, banging away at his keyboard and giggling to himself.
I was thinking pretty much the same thing. He’s got the sensibility of a teenage boy. He thinks things like the letter X and the color black are totally cool, and he thinks naming his company “Space-Sex” and one of its spacecraft “Big Fuckin’ Rocket” is the height of humor.
His parents should have been a little firmer with him. "Young man, I don't want to see you on that computer until your comedy is at least at a Colbert level!"
I was initially excited to hear about the Oulipo community, but they seem to have an very limited take on what Oulipo is/was. There is a lot more to Oulipo than lipograms (avoiding a character) as even the Wikipedia page says.
I can do you one better with a Tampermonkey script that will replace every reference to his name on every webpage to either "the biggest twat on the planet" or "this dipshit", depending on which works better syntactically.

Downvoting is kind of unfair because it is technology based, ignore button just ignores that specific post, unsubscribe unsubscribes me from all technology posts which I don't want
Because the downvote button isn't for what I personally don't want to see, it's for what isn't relevant. As much as I don't want to see this, it is technology
Seriously. People were talking about Jeffrey Dahmer a lot in 1991, but there weren't any contrarian pimple-dicks jumping out of the bushes and shouting "He's living rent-free inside your head!" Dahmer was news. People tend to think about recent events.
Gee, I wonder why. Could the fact that he keeps making unpopular changes to one of the largest social media platforms out there have anything to do with it? Nah, those hundreds of millions of people just don't like his face or whatever.
Unfortunately, billionaires have an outsize influence on the lives of regular people. Like this shitstain buying one of the most important social media properties in the world and turning it into a safe space for fascists. He's contributing to the downfall of human civilization and we absolutely need to talk about that.
He already backtracked because of public outrage, dark will be default, light will be an option, dim black (or whatever it was called) is no more. Like 15hrs later. Yet another clueless idiotic decision that backfired...
