Y’all hear about this?..
Elon Musk restored the ‘X’ account of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. Or… maybe that’s what they WANT you to think and X has always been a blank app through which we project whatever it is we wish to see.

If they seem slightly frightened it might have something to do with the fact that when you blur your eyes, the babadook is clearly lingering behind them:
Scammers are using QR codes to direct people to websites that can harvest their data. And based on what most of us scan QR codes for, those suspicious websites are restaurant menus. “Should we get the Tasty Tater Tots or the We’ve Located All Of Your Nudes Platter?”
Wildlife officials plan to release gray wolves in Colorado at the behest of urban voters and to the dismay of rural residents. In a surprising consensus, leaders on the far left and far right of American politics worry that the wolves will further divide the nation by forming a Super Pack.

However, insiders say that Chinese censors have already given the green light and it all depends on whether Swift signs off on their proposition to add the words “End Of The American…” to the front of the title.
