"Where's that coming from, that can't be from in here, surely," one of the stream's broadcasters asked. "Is that a bigger reaction than tenZ got?" The other replied.The feed cut back to a match between Canada-based Evil Geniuses and the Singaporean team Paper Rex, but the crowd wasn't finished with Musk. "Focus back on the game now," one of the broadcasters erroneously declared before the crowd broke into a chant of "Bring back Twitter."If I had billions of dollars, I would probably throw my fortune at a massive development effort to make a quadruple-A CRPG in the Dark Sun setting, and I would also have Thanksgiving dinner for every meal until I got the gout. Given the same opportunity, Musk engaged in a media feud with the corporate ownership of formerly-essential social media giant, Twitter. Musk made and then backed out of an offer

Comics Twitter Has Created A Fandom That Doesn’t Understand Comics Comics Twitter has opened doorways for many fans, letting new readers learn the basics of comics. However, it has also shut down diversity of opinion. Summary Comics Twitter has become a vital advertising tool for the comic industry, with companies and creators using the platform to promote new releases and interact with fans. However, Comics Twitter is often plagued by toxicity and negative behavior, with trolls and professional trolls like ComicsGate spreading hate and criticism. One of the major issues with Comics Twitter is that many fans who claim to love comics actually don't read them, relying on influencers and synopses instead, creating a fan culture that lacks individual opinions and critical engagement. Comics are big business nowadays. From manga to superheroes, comics are a staple of pop culture for millions, even before getting into things like Marvel movies. People love the various characters and creators of comics, and they celebrate their fandom on social media. Services like Twitter and Instagram have become an essential part of the comic industry, allowing fans and creators to associate with each other, and creating a place where new fans can learn about comics.

Users He’s Back. You Know Who. You Know Where. On Trump’s inevitable return to Twitter, and why it still managed to shock. Former President Donald Trump after being booked at the Fulton County Jail on Thursday. Joe Raedle/Getty Images On the day that Donald Trump left office, we still didn’t know what would become of him. For my part, I wrote about why I thought, if he even wanted to, he could never go back up the escalator of Trump Tower to his old life. We’d seen too much, I argued: We have spent years being battered over the head with who Trump really is. It is so obvious that this guy doesn’t deserve all the things that he has. And sure, everyone knew the system was rigged. But seeing that it’s this rigged is too much—enough to make you want to do something about it. Which is why I would venture that after leaving the presidency, Trump will have to answer for things that he would never have had to answer for before he became the most powerful person in the world. He can’t just wriggle out of it. Too many eyes are on him now. At that point
