here, for posterity

 Well, as long as "posterity" ever is on the web.

I admit I'm sad about the apparently-impending death of Twitter - I made lots of friends over there and had lots of fun over there. And one overly-wealthy dude who never had anyone (apparently) tell him "No, that's a HORRIBLE idea" has bought it, and is cratering it as we speak.

So as a perhaps-last series of posts over there, I did something I like to do and haven't done in a while: parodying a famous song.

Once I had an EV company

Made lots of bucks

It was really neat!

Once I had an EV company

Now it’s done

Brother, can ya spare a tweet?

 

Once I had the SpaceX

Made it fly

It was cool and fleet

Once I had the SpaceX

Now it’s done

Brother, can ya spare a tweet?

 

Once drilling tunnels

Gee, we looked swell

Full of that giving-no-f*cks

Several million boring, slogging through hell

I was the kid with the bucks

Say don't you remember, they called me El

Everybody kissed my feet

Say don't you remember, I'm your pal!

Brother can you spare a tweet?

 

 

Anyway, given that he's apparently locked the employees out while he tries to test their loyalty.... well, I don't expect it to be there in the morning. (Which is unfortunate, as one way to get updates on running-late trains is through the Amtrak status twitter feed)
