What'll Happen To Twitter?

 I suggest five things:

1.  I think people who are of the far left extreme....in the first week of Musk ownership....will dissolve their account and try to survive via Facebook.  

2.  I think around two million Americans who did not have a Twitter account prior to this....will venture over and become Twitter users....meaning of a neutral or right-wing variety.

3.  I think Twitter will matter in the final ten days of the mid-term election, and swing some voters away from Democratic candidates.

4.  I think regular everyday type users of Twitter.....won't notice a single thing different.

5.  Finally, as unprofitable as Twitter is currently....I think the same situation will occur under Elon Musk.  However, I expect the headquarters to up and move (to a tax-friendly state), and the operations center to non-west-coast state.  By this move, more than 40-percent of the cost of running the operation.....will dissolve in a matter of one year.  

TV Chatter

 Around 1969, via Saturday morning cartoons.....I got my first dose of Scooby Doo.  It was a simple format.....a comical dog, Shaggy the 50-percent hippie, Freddie the beach boy type, Daphne the model type, and Velma the geek.  Freddie was always portrayed as dating Daphne, and Shaggy was portrayed as dating Velma.  

Well....this week, the cartoon guys decided to go and make a new series of Scooby Doo, and Velma would be lesbian.  

I didn't really see the need or urge to do this.  

I mean....if this makes sense, then why not go back to the Flintstones and make Barney a bondage guy?

Or perhaps make the Roadrunner into a hanky-panky type of character?

Or perhaps take that Johnny Quest character and have him at age 14 all hooked-up with some 50-year old female bartender?

But why stop there?  Couldn't you re-work the Brady Bunch and have Carol (the housekeeper) in some three-way with the neighbors?

Or how about Fred Sanford having some kinky weird ideas?

Where this is all leading to?  Unknown.....it used to be a simple TV kid's murder mystery with a comedian dog, and now it has to revolve around lesbian Velma?
