Maybe someone is keeping a scorecard on Elon Musk who bought Twitter to support free speech. He invites many to return but bans a few.
This week he suspended a few journalists and under pressure he removed the suspension.
Sometimes you cannot access Twitter pages without logging in and sometimes you can.

Is Trump back or hanging on to TRUTH so he doesn't kill-off the investors?

Last month when I took a vacation, my car was in the airport parking lot for 5 days. On my return, I started the motor and it labored for a few seconds. Weak battery. It's been on my list to deal with it.
Typically, I have a place in Miami where I buy batteries wholesale. They do lots of export and always had what I needed in stock. My first choice for Car batteries, 2 marine batteries I used during 2 hurricanes, power supply/backup batteries, I've been buying from them for 15 years or so.
I usually know when a battery is getting ready to fail, but three years ago, I didn't have time to get there when the battery in my Hyundai Veloster died with little warning.
AAA came the the rescue and for $130 I was back in action.

Today I was scheduled for an oil change and since my car is under 36,000 miles, I'm getting the dealer to do the service. The service advisor said my battery failed on their multi-point inspection so they replaced it under the manufacturer's warranty. No argument there.
Waiting to replace the battery, worked out as a nice gift... Thanks Toyota!

I question the intelligence of website programmers who don't give information in the title of a bookmark.

I'm looking for a company who sells architectural plastic products. Their name is found on a Google search and from the main page, I decided to bookmark it.

Company name: Outwater Industries (many years ago it was Outwater Plastics)
Website address: Outwater.com
Bookmark name: Welcome to the store

Comment: WTF??
I've got over 200 bookmarks and 'Welcome to the store' is more than useless when trying to find them again.

Every 'dollar store' in America is filled with inferior products made in China. You can find forks... 2 for a dollar. With inflation they are now $1.25
Okay, they are machine stamped and not hand crafted, the tines differ in width.
I often use them as pry tools so it's not important if I bend one.

When the subject comes up about Chinese 'junk' I sometimes I speak about the reality. I've been known to say "What company in America ordered things to be brought here?"
They didn't magically appear on a boat, make it to the port, get shipped to stores without some intervention from American companies.

Terms were agreed on, what's to be made and what price they are to be bought and sold at. The American people didn't make that choice, it's what we've been fed.

Logically, if they can make cellular earphones for a buck and someone is making a profit, are they capable of making some high-quality devices? Yeah, but the buyers are bringing in the inferior stuff and not the good stuff... to a point.

IKEA sells sets of stainless steel flatware. Attractive, polished, smooth flawless curves. Prices as low as $20 for a 20 piece set. Unbeatable, if you're asking me.

Good stuff, good price... why did it take a generation to happen?

It's a busy Monday, so I put on a Focus - Energy - Concentration video on YouTube and moved the graphics down so it wouldn't distract me.
About 15 minutes into the video, I had to stop it because I couldn't focus on my work!

So much for focus energy... I think it's time for some aspirin.

Musk begins his Twitter ownership with firings, declares the 'bird is freed'.

NEW YORK, Oct 28 (Reuters) - Elon Musk has taken ownership of Twitter Inc (TWTR.N) with brutal efficiency, firing top executives but providing little clarity over how he will achieve the ambitions he has outlined for the influential social media platform.

"The bird is freed," he tweeted after he completed his $44 billion acquisition on Thursday, referencing Twitter's bird logo in an apparent nod to his desire to see the company have fewer limits on content that can be posted.

The CEO of electric car maker Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) and self-described free speech absolutist has, however, also said he wants to prevent the platform from becoming an echo chamber for hate and division.

Other goals include wanting to "defeat" spam bots on Twitter and make the algorithms that determine how content is presented to its users publicly available.

Yet Musk has not offered details on how he will achieve all this and who will run the company. He has said he plans to cut jobs, leaving Twitter's 7,500 employees fretting about their future. He also said on Thursday he did not buy Twitter to make more money but "to try to help humanity, whom I love."

Less that 10% of 266 Twitter employees who participated in a poll on messaging app Blind expected to still have their jobs in three months. Blind allows employees to air grievances anonymously after they sign up with corporate emails.

Musk fired Twitter Chief Executive Parag Agrawal, Chief Financial Officer Ned Segal and legal affairs and policy chief Vijaya Gadde, according to people familiar with the matter. He had accused them of misleading him and Twitter investors over the number of fake accounts on the platform.

Agrawal and Segal were in Twitter's San Francisco headquarters when the deal closed and were escorted out, the sources added.

Musk, who also runs rocket company SpaceX, plans to become Twitter's interim CEO according to a person familiar with the matter and following an earlier report by Reuters. Musk also plans to scrap permanent bans on users, Bloomberg said, citing a person familiar with the matter.

Twitter, Musk and the executives did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
