Alluding to rampant crime along with a large population of drug-addled vagrants, woke mind virus foe Elon Musk described the area where X (formerly Twitter) is located as a zombie apocalypse.

Last year, Harvard historian Niall Ferguson made an interesting prediction. According to Ferguson, “Silicon Valley is never going to let 2016 happen again.” He was talking about the presidential election victory by Donald Trump. The latest in a series of exposes by James O’Keefe and the Project Veritas crew seems to validate that prediction.
A Pinterest software engineer who leaked information to Project Veritas about behind-the-scenes censorship found himself escorted out of the building by security with no explanation.
Search giant Google has apparently terminated the employment of software engineer Mike Wacker. Last month, the self-described Republican published an open letter about the “outrage mobs” that evidently run the show within the company. The only political views acceptable within Google are left or far left; expressing a dissenting view prompts complaints to HR., Wacker claimed. Wacker even hinted that going public could result in his firing.
In an open letter posted at Medium, a self-described Republican who works at Google warned about the ideological turmoil and rampant bias in the supposedly nonpartisan Big Tech firm.
Last year, Harvard historian Niall Ferguson predicted that “Silicon Valley is never going to let 2016 happen again.” He was referring to Donald Trump’s social-media-enabled surprise victory — at least to the political establishment and pollsters — over Hillary Clinton in the presidential election. Parenthetically, a similar unexpected result has apparently just played out in the Australian national elections.
You don’t have to be a fan of controversial, fringe Infowars at all, for example, to be concerned about the implications for free speech. The latest bans, which also includes independent journalist Laura Loomer, appears to be a warm-up act by social media platforms for future censorship of mainstream conservatives, populists, and libertarians heading into the 2020 election.
Congressman Devin Nunes is suing Twitter for defamation in a filing that he says is the first of many. Nunes, a California Republican who headed the House Intelligence Committee (which made him a target of the far left or alt left), is seeking money damages totaling $250 million (a trendy number) for defamation from the social media network, among other forms of requested relief. He also maintains that Twitter shadow-banned him and others. Although the president has spoken about and tweeted about social network bias, neither the Trump administration or possibly compromised GOP lawmakers collectively have taken any substantive steps to address against social media censorship as yet. Nunes has taken the matter into his own hands.
Despite insistence by its CEO Jack Dorsey that it is an impartial platform, a new study suggests that Twitter disproportionately suspends political conservatives or Trump supporters (which is not always the same thing). Dr. Richard Hanania, a postdoctoral fellow at Columbia University, published his findings this week in Quillette.
Xhale City in the Atlanta, Ga., area, says it immediately fired an employee after his profane, anti-Donald Trump rant went massively viral.
Assuming this NSFW video is real and not a staged prank of some kind, the vape shop employee was triggered by a customer, identified by the Daily Mail as Ian Furgeson, 36, who entered the store wearing MAGA gear in an attempt to purchase vape juice.
