European Union’s Anti-Musk ‘Twitter Alternative’ Closes With Only 18 Active Users
Two years after commencing a “pioneering journey” to forge an EU-controlled answer to Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter, the European Commission has called time on ‘EU Voice.’
Brussels wanted its very own alternative to the social media giant recently rebranded X, which has itself clashed with Eurocrat regulators over its free speech policies. An anti-Musk platform, based on the left-leaning networked system Mastodon, has proved a dismal failure.
The decision to shutter the EU-run platform comes after, embarrassingly, the site could only register a mere 40 ‘institutional accounts’ from the hundreds of MEPs, Commissioners, diplomats and other officials employed by the Commission. Even Margrethe Vestager, a top EU Big Tech regulator, appears never to have used her own account.
There are no words to describe the guffawing and slap happy silliness happening over here in response to this news.
Today’s screaming headline says it all. Hysterical to us, disaster to them. EU Voice had a really brief life, and Mr. Musk likely is enjoying it a lot.
Dave I’ve been stung by a Jelly Fish!

This is cool.
IT is this sort of thing that gets good cops killed. Former officer Brian Schimmel is a stark raving lunatic who has no business ever carrying a badge or a gun. He is a psychopath with zero self control.
I think I may have made a mistake. I found some bacon cheese flavored tater chips for Hubby, but I don’t know if Aldi will carry them regularly.
My wife is flying over Lafayette Louisiana @ 39K feet 618 MPH, smoking, must be making up time. She should be landing in NW Florida about 4:41 PM.

I did a little gardening – some staking and such, started soup for Hubby’s dinner, and now I must shower and head out. I promised a friend that I’d cash her check today, and so must get to the bank before they close.
I’ll check in when I can.

If we can fix this problem, a lot of the others will simply go away.
I see that Fr. Richard Heilman has passed away. If this is the priest that I think this is, imagine a Fr. Altman type. He would have been a member of U.S. Grace Force, a group of faithful Catholics calling people, especially men, to be a strong force against evil. If this is the same Fr. Heilman, he will be… Read more »

Thanks to the frat boys who are pushing back against the women and the effeminate males wearing the uniform of the cause de jour: the keffiyeh. At least the scarf makes it easier to identify the ignorant when out in public. I hope future employers do so.
I am busy trying to whip this place into shape.
Mr. Childers’ discussion on the NY law that allowed old sexual assault cases to be reopened (presumably only against Trump), has backfired on several high profile NYers themselves.
Goose, gander. And election interference! /chuckling

Your morning roundup, replete with just the right amount of news you need to know, includes: democrats fretting about Supreme Court immunity decision; UK’s version of the PREP Act is collapsing… Read more »
I harvested some more green beans this morning (bush variety) and noted with pleasure my asparagus beans are beginning to flower and fruit. My little girl family that I hug each week excitedly told me that they planted their bean seeds. I told one of them that the plant will want to get “this high” before it starts to flower,… Read more »
I got my rosary time in and wanted to jump – no, step gingerly – onto the treadmill, but decided to take some more Tylenol and wait for it to kick in first.
This getting old is getting old. ™
Morning all. Just checking in. Coffee and then off to the dentist. Yay!
Quick Drive-By and dang, Graveyard Dead! I knew I shouldn’t have stopped by. 😉
How about a GMC 292 I-6, complete with a 6-17 blower and three single barrel Carter carbs, over 500 HP. And ifin’ you’re in the know, 1.94″ intake valves. 😉
From last night; This morning we went to Home Depot and bought a high-rise, elongated American Standard toilet and hero brother is in there installing it. Well Texpat, I don’t have any plumbing work here but you’re welcome to drop by and give me a hand. Work around here will be much more fun than plumbing and will be outside.Might… Read more »
Liberalism fails every time it’s tried. In all forms.
BAWHAHAHAHA! Yup, you can’t make this up it reminds me of the time the liberal media started a radio talk show to compete with Rush Limbaugh and I think they had Alex Baldwin as the host? It of course failed miserably, partly because as Rush said, the left has NO sense of humor. Oh and First?! Moi? Mmm K Mornin’… Read more »
