Yup, Patinkin took to Twitter to share the words we were waiting & hoping to read: "I do not think it means what you think it means" (along with a video clip from the interview). Image: Fandango YouTube/SNL YouTube Here's a look at Patinkin's tweet from earlier today officially confirming yet another important part of pop culture[...]

Second, if new Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino isn't updating her LinkedIn by the time she reads this, then she gets to put her name on everything & anything that Musk says on Twitter from this point forward When the Tesla CEO was asked if promoting whackjob, tinfoil hat conspiracy theories was a smart business move,[...]

Yesterday, we called out Twitter Overlord Elon Musk for not only peddling some dangerous conspiracy theories regarding Hungarian-American businessman & philanthropist George Soros but also for demonstrating a not-so-shocking lack of understanding of the Marvel Comics character Magneto (it was bad enough when he compared himself to Batman) But… maybe we were wrong[...]

So let's kick things off with a couple of questions we have for Twitter Overlord Elon Musk First, before you hired away Linda Yaccarino from NBCUniversal to be Twitter's new CEO & Public Apologist… did you break the news to her that the ex-CEO would be the biggest pain in the ass that she would[...]

A day after Elon Musk confirmed that ex-NBCUniversal sales chief Linda Yaccarino would be taking over the social media service, the new Twitter CEO decided to take advantage of what she now runs to respond to Musk "Thank you [Elon Musk]! I've long been inspired by your vision to create a brighter future I'm excited to[...]

Elon Musk took to Twitter to announce that Yaccarino would be taking over as the social media service's CEO "I am excited to welcome Linda Yaccarino as the new CEO of Twitter! [Yaccarino] will focus primarily on business operations, while I focus on product design & new technology, Musk wrote in his tweet "Looking forward[...]

Leave it to Elon Musk to turn something as simple as handing over control of Twitter to a new CEO into a lot of potentially unnecessary drama Earlier today, Musk tweeted that a female CEO would be taking over in June, and now The Wall Street Journal is reporting that NBCUniversal sales chief Linda Yaccarino will[...]

"Excited to announce that I've hired a new CEO for X/Twitter She will be starting in ~6 weeks!" Musk wrote earlier this afternoon And though we don't have a name, it would appear mid to end of June would be their start window As for Musk? "My role will transition to being exec chair &[...]

UPDATE: Before we share a look back at our editorial from earlier today, we have a very important follow-up involving Tucker Carlson, FOX "News," and Carlson's new show on Twitter "Starting soon, we'll be bringing a new version of the show we've been doing for the last six and a half years to Twitter," Carlson[...]

If you tuned into Friday night's episode of HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher not expecting Bill Maher and Twitter overlord Elon Musk to spend nearly 20 minutes jerking off each other's egos, the… PLEASE TELL ME WHERE YOU LIVE SO I CAN LIVE THERE, TOO? PLEASE? I WON'T TELL ANYONE! Because clearly, you're living[...]

If you've been following our coverage of the back-and-forth going on between Elon Musk and noted bestselling author Stephen King over Musk's handling of Twitter – specifically, the blue checkmark/verification process that now requires payment – then you know that King's no fan And that's resulted in a series of tweet exchanges that's left the[...]

After Twitter users noticed that the account @DisneyJuniorUK was gracing a gold checkmark (reserved for official & verified businesses who pay $1000/month for the "honor"), the word went out across social media that the fake account being granted that "distinction" was another example of how Musk has lost control over the ability to stop fake[...]

Sometimes, the jokes come too easily – as is the case of the latest chapter in "The Great Twitter Blue Checkmark War" between Musk and acclaimed author Stephen King Earlier, King tweeted about the news that Musk had "paid" to have a whole bunch of blue checkmarks reinstated – including King's- writing, "I think Mr[...]

Who knows at this point, right? But what we do know is that apparently, things on the Twitter front were a little too drama-free to Elon Musk's liking, so he decided to pull the blue checkmarks from everyone who didn't pay for them after months of threatening to do so And then… jackshit happened[...]

As we're sure you've heard by now, Elon Musk pulled blue checkmarks from everyone on Twitter this week – and guess what? The planet is still spinning, my pizza from 4 Bros Pizza is as delicious as ever, and my pup still can't stand other dogs (but loves people) In the process of Musk doing[...]

Earlier, King's Twitter account showed that he paid for a checkmark and gave a phone number – two things that King made a point of denying – and then driving the point home: My Twitter account says I've subscribed to Twitter Blue I haven't. My Twitter account says I've given a phone number I haven't. — Stephen King[...]

And seconds after we saw the news come across Twitter (ironic, right?), we knew someone was going to pay – in this case, a lot of "someones." Two people, in particular, who have no interest in handing over even a dime to Musk are famed bestselling authors & pop culture icons, Stephen King and Neil[...]

That's right, Musk actually found a way to screw up Twitter so badly that the screw-up actually broke through to a multiversal dimension where Amazon & Showrunner Eric Kripke's The Boys is a reality And if there's one thing that Vought International doesn't need right now are more "conspiracy theories" regarding Black Noir and how[...]

Maybe it's because 20-second Google searches are "too woke"? Maybe he's still in his "sobbing on the couch over a pint of Ben & Jerry's" stage after his reported "Twitter Files" breakup with Matt Taibbi? Whatever the reason, Elon Musk proved that his inability to understand how major media works is not restrained by international[...]

Twitter hackers are common nowadays, especially with higher-profile celebrity accounts One popular target as of late is Star Trek actors, with the recent one in Picard star Brent Spiner, who plays Data reprising his role from The Next Generation Despite the beloved android dying twice, the new hybrid built by Dr Alton Song, also played[...]

William Shatner offered his latest rebuttal to CEO Elon Musk's reasoning for his latest Twitter decisions The Star Trek icon originally wrote, "Hey [Elon Musk], what's this about blue checks going away unless we pay Twitter? I've been here for 15 years, giving my & witty thoughts all for bupkis Now you're telling me that[...]

But that doesn't mean he doesn't have a minute to take to Twitter to let everyone know that he's not paying for anything having to do with social media That means that on Saturday, April 1st (when Elon Musk's "only people who pay get blue checks" plan oozes into existence) "Hey, y'all , I'll lose[...]

CEO Elon Musk answered Star Trek icon William Shatner about his grievance about his updated Twitter verification policy The Enterprise captain initially wrote, "Hey [Elon Musk], what's this about blue checks going away unless we pay Twitter? I've been here for 15 years, giving my & witty thoughts all for bupkis Now you're telling me[...]

On the latest episode of "Sh*t William Shatner Says," the 92-year-old Canadian actor and Star Trek icon has new beef with Twitter's new blue check mark policy as most of his current relevance comes from his current activity on social media aiming his latest barb at its current CEO "Hey [Elon Musk] what's this about[...]

It's just that we were never expecting her calling then-President Donald Trump a "p***y a** b***h via Twitter back in 2019 as being something that would make the Congressional record But that's how things went today as the Republican-controlled House of Representatives Oversight Committee held a hearing to "investigate" claims that Twitter users were blocked[...]

I mean, just look at that DC Studios slate that was dropped on Tuesday… right? But like most spoiled, unruly children, proud Twitter owner Elon Musk hasn't found a piece of metaphorical poop yet that he's not ready to throw to get everyone's attention And because of the sweet, beautiful irony of it, it was[...]

That brings us to Elon Musk, Twitter owner and defender of "free speech" (well…) & humor (unless it's a parody account that hits too close to home) But this time around, we're keeping things simple Why does Musk have a personal gripe against Comedy Central's The Daily Show to the point where he's pulling down[...]
