You didn’t address my main point: After months of saying that the Blue Check would simply be a perk of Twitter Blue ($8/month, such a bargain!), causing some celebrities to push back very vocally at the change and saying they wouldn’t pay for it, Elon Musk has been forcing the check on many popular accounts, including…

That’s a face that would be right at home on a Dreamworks Animation poster, all right.

Sir, this is an Arby’s.

I’m just not taking the time to watch multiple kids shows

They’ve had “Hawkin’s” in the headline for over a day now?
