Finding out Ryan George is pleased to dunk on ELO~N is TIGHT!
The phenomenon of 'the sycophant's' rise to prominence is also interesting, they earned a place next to Elon in this skit after all, the most visible one is Ian Miles Cheong right now I guess, but there were some other 'exempt from rules' accounts listed in that leaked list from a few weeks ago. Is he getting paid by Elon at this point? Does any right winger in the US do anything for free?
That whole libertarian SV clique has been making a lot of moves in the last few years, buying influencers and funding politicians, probably smelling that they can ride Trumpism while it's here to get deeper influence in the Republican party.
Also I wish online comedy people dunked on the other tech people too like Ellison, Bezos, Zuck, Dorsey or whoever else is still out there re-branding themselves, because dunking only on Elon makes it seem like he's the one bad apple and the rest are good (ie the system is good), but they're all freaks just some are better at hiding it.

Bad 👏 apples 👏 spoil 👏 the 👏 bunch!
Pet peeve of mine when people miss that actual biological fact about apples and use that clumsy and wrong version of the metaphor, usually to make excuses for
. That isn't directed at you as much as me yelling at clouds for a moment.
I do agree that more billionaire bazingas need to be dunked on more, though I think there's a cooling effect and executive meddling in play to discourage that. "Inside Job" was a great show that was popular, but because it dunked hard on billionaires so much, chances are that contributed to it being canceled. Twice.
..are they mocking us? shut it down! ready the bogus lawsuits !
I guess the early cancellation worked because I didn't hear about the show.. but will check it out, looks fun
Linguists such as Ben Zimmer have pointed out that the proverb began to be used in the opposite sense in the 20th century,[8] instead stating that "a few bad apples" are not representative of a group.[3][4] According to Zimmer, this usage may have corresponded to the change in the grocery trade, where modern shops sold apples individually and would rarely put rotten ones on display, and people stopped thinking of apples as being stored in barrels.[4] Zimmer said that "once the phrase is out there again and people are saying 'one bad apple,' you think, 'What could that mean?' Then you can assign it new meaning."
oh ok so originally it was 'bad apples spoil the barrel' meaning if you have a few then the rest will go bad for sure, and now people use it to say if you have 1 bad apple the rest will remain fine if you just remove that 1 bad one, lol, how convenient that it's now employed to defend the reputation of institutions
Even on a biological level, when an apple rots, it releases chemicals that affect other nearby apples and accelerate their rot as well.
I suppose even at an academic level, "a few bad apples" when it's typically said now pisses me off because it sounds like something fundamentally absurd, like "well, house is on fire, time to throw some kerosene to put it out!"
