As of 20 or so minutes ago, the big rumor on twitter is this:

Twitter just alerted employees that effective immediately, all office buildings are temporarily closed and badge access is suspended. No details given as to why. We're hearing this is because Elon Musk and his team are terrified employees are going to sabotage the company. Also, they're still trying to figure out which Twitter workers they need to cut access for. Offices will reopen on November 21st. In the meantime: "Please continue to comply with company policy by refraining from discussing confidential company information on social media, with the press or elsewhere."

So this does not seem good. It is at the very least a spectacular example of how the executive class is just another version of merit free aristocracy. Upper class twits with an entirely unearned pretense that they deserve that wealth and power due to competence or skill rather than winning a series of rigged lotteries.

Meanwhile I've read various assertions that I can sum up as follows:

This is the 2nd biggest act of hubris in 2022 next to the Truss mini-budget
or some elaborate investment scam that I cannot parse
or a deliberate attempt to sabotage a platform that (despite everything) gave the lumpen a bit of a voice and power
or the upper class losing all pretense of coherency while they run out the clock on humanity
or something else.

What I do know is I'm probably going to be posting here periodically now.

It's also where I'll post info about where else I can be found.

Anyway.
