ally sound like the thing that's going to happen.

And then I thought to myself, if you were going to pick a CEO for Twitter, who would you pick? Who would you pick that could actually do it in a way that you would? Jack Dorsey? Somebody says, you know, I think people are going to miss Jack Dorsey. Yeah, not me. I would not be a good leader. You know I am not a good leader. I've told you this before. Does anybody remember why I would be a terrible manager or CEO? And I've been in those jobs and I'm not good at it. It's because I have too much empathy. You have to be able to abuse your employees more than they want to be abused or you're not a good manager. I mean, the tension between what the employees want and what the company wants is what you're managing.

I'm glad that people can because it makes the system work. I just can't bring myself to that space. I need a job where everybody wins as much as possible. Right? If you read a joke and you laugh, everybody wins.

It's an accidental theme because the news just created the theme. And here's the theme: we've reached peak absurdity. And by we, I mean the Democrats. Democrats have reached peak absurdity. Like it couldn't be any weirder. Nothing could be funnier or more clownish than the Twitter employees worried that somebody would treat them as political entities instead of just, you know, citizens of America. Huh. I'd hate to see that happen.

So there it is. Peak absurdity.

Who would you put in as CEO? Let's say you were Elon Musk, who would you put in as the CEO? They'll either make everybody happy or alternately everybody unhappy bec
