  @TheStreet This is one reason I do not like a AOL although I have been a subscriber for 40 years. I cannot get into this article. I have had this problem before. But you don’t seem to be able to resolve it.

  LOL, compete with other streaming mergers. Paramount+ works worse than AOL dial-up in the 1990's. It sucks so bad they need help!

  @Gzalzi @chaakravue I have been on the internet since AOL. That was not rage bait. He genuinely is just an idiot.

  Uh oh … this is even BEFORE his massive Data Center hauls 💰 CHARACTER should matter to voters , not what letter is next to their name The Trades Byron Donalds Didn't Want You to See Byron Donalds spent years on television lecturing Congress about insider trading. Then the record caught up with him. Between 2022 and 2023, Donalds and his spouse made over 100 stock trades valued up to $1.6 million without filing the periodic transaction reports required by the STOCK Act. Campaign Legal CenterCampaign Legal Center The number, precisely, was at least 108 trades in dozens of companies, ranging in total value from $108,108 to $1,620,000. Campaign Legal Center HE DIDN'T DISCLOSE THEM IN REAL TIME. The trades only surfaced in annual filings submitted in August 2023 and August 2024 — more than a year after most of the transactions occurred. That delay isn't a technicality. The STOCK Act exists so voters can watch for conflicts of interest as they happen, not a year later. And the timing here raises real questions. Donalds sits on the House Financial Services Committee, and some of his trades were in companies that committee oversees, including Elevance Health and JPMorgan Chase. In September 2024, the nonpartisan Campaign Legal Center filed a formal ethics complaint asking the Office of Congressional Ethics to investigate. CLC argued that because Donalds understood the STOCK Act's requirements better than most lawmakers, there's reason to believe the omissions weren't accidental. AOL The irony is hard to miss. This is a man who once appeared on television demanding sanctions against members of Congress who violate the STOCK Act. Florida Bulldog He said the House "has to get real." Now he's the case study. As of mid-2026, Donalds has said publicly that he doesn't personally trade securities but uses a broker with trading authority, and that he supports banning direct trading by members while allowing third-party financial professionals to trade on their behalf. (PolitiFact That's a defense worth weighing on its merits. It doesn't erase the 108 undisclosed trades or the year-long gap in reporting. Voters can decide what that pattern says about judgment — but they deserve to know it happened before they decide who leads the state next. 🎇We have a real chance to shift our leadership expectations. Stop settling for party and vote AGENDA and CHARACTER Vote @davidjollyfl @GwenGraham Note: this uses information and reporting from the Campaign Legal Center, Florida Bulldog, and PolitiFact —

  How do all these people have 10s of thousands of "followers"? People that don't necessarily post anything new or just re-posts of other peoples' thoughts & work. I don't get it. I've been a member for a while now (w/ THIS acct - my orig was cancelled by Twitter during COVID for telling the factual scientific truth about masks based on my years in Bio-Nanotechnology). Is it strictly from those "Follow" train lists? I learned early on to stay away from those - I check out EVERYBODY I ever follow first & personally (not necessarily relying upon Grok's "Profile Summary", although those may get me interested to take a gander). I try to engage those who engage with me and avoid silly flame-wars. I don't post to GET followers, I generally post current stream-of-consciousness thoughts, what's on my mind at that moment & not really organizing them into proper English "articles". Plus I'm not really good at pithy comments - I speak from my heart & soul and EXPLAIN myself & my reasoning for coming to different conclusions. And I typically don't engage in irrational, emotional hyperbole & name-calling. I truly want to know what others think and LEARN (you're never too old to learn!). For DECADES on BBSes (Bulletin Board Systems - pre-graphical internet days, modem-connected social systems for discussion, research & debates), the Usenets (newsgroups, pre-graphical/HTTP/HTML internet days when time on the internet was purchased through 3rd party vendors like CompuServe by the hour - 70s & 80s, pre-AOL (which is slightly pre-HTTP/HTML/Mozilla-Netscape graphical internet revolution) - where everything was command-line driven in ASCII, EBCDIC, ISO set or ATASCII or the like). Am I just too old, boring, long-winded, obnoxious, opinionated or what? I know its annoying with me posting about my health, but I've gotta vent SOMEWHERE and NO ONE on X knows me personally. Not that it matters so much now, I'm heading down the stretch-run to Home plate, but even paying for Elon's blue-checkmark, I don't get many hits/views or responses/engagement, it is pretty comparable to my "free" account that I use solely for NFL stuff where I have 1 whole "follower", which is probably one of those online ho-bags. It's not that I'm looking to "earn" from X and I'll NEVER post things just for click-bait value. I'm just really curious how these other accounts accrue so many followers for literally not doing much,

  @4thOfJuly365 You know I absolutely hated AOL but I liked the messenger because I could talk to stupid people I knew on that. Other people used icq and even that's out of business. And then there were some MSN people. I don't know what was up with them. I of course used some crazy open source thing that linked all this stuff together. And yeah, there isn't much that really makes this platform. All that special doesn't really do anything unique other than have people on it. I could scale my platform to millions pretty easily but what's missing from my platform is people. That's the real value

  Scott Hardy was on the internet before the web existed. He joined AOL in 1995 in tech support and rode it from 100,000 subscribers to over 30 million, working his way up to IT Operations Manager running networks for Arizona. Then the dot-com bubble burst and he was loading cargo at Delta for fifteen dollars an hour. He rebuilt through Sprint Nextel, eTelecare, and Limelight Networks, and in 2008, in the middle of a financial crisis, he founded Top Class Actions on one brutal statistic: roughly 95 percent of consumer class action settlements go unclaimed. TCA became the world's most popular site for class action website. Then he went full stack. When Arizona became the first state to allow non-lawyer ownership of law firms, Scott, a non-lawyer, co-founded LegaFi Law in 2022 to represent the plaintiffs his site was already finding. In 2024 he launched Trimaxian, a litigation funding syndicate that lets accredited investors and family offices back class actions.
