Something about the drama of the Twitter blue check mark made me think of the Dr Seuss The Sneetches book, and I find the comparison hilarious
For context, the story goes having a star on your belly made you cool, but then a guy with a machine made it so you could pay him and add a star to your belly. So all the starless sneetches bought the star, but then since they weren’t exclusive anymore, all the star sneetches wanted to get rid of their star to be cool and starless, and the guy with a machine would do that for money. This happened a few times until no one knew who was original what and they all became friends and learned a lesson about the pointlessness of the stars and being scammed out of money.
Also I haven’t read the book since I was like 7 so the story could be totally off :)

When Elon is shitty and utter inept but his actions unintentionally led to Eli Lilly and co facing a massive dose of karma and PR backlash that might make them back down on insulin price gouging.
“Eli Lilly and Co are reportedly furious with Elon.”
What is this, Freddie vs Jason for the corporate world?

Twitter really went from a respectable, company run social platform that was culturally important
To the biggest discord server with a disgruntled admin who keeps changing the rules and enforcing them at his will after banning all of his mods, getting mad over the ones calling out his shitty behavior
