  @unreMARKLEble Too bad AOL (what? They still exist?) got her age wrong by about a decade!

  Different decade, same math: half the S&P 500 is priced at levels that a dot-com CEO called proof of investor insanity while watching his company crater 90%. The rotation at the top: In early 2000, the ten most valuable S&P 500 companies read like a monument to permanent dominance: Microsoft, General Electric, Cisco, Walmart, ExxonMobil, Intel, Lucent, IBM, Citigroup, AOL. A generation later, only Microsoft remains. GE was carved into three separate companies. Lucent was absorbed by Nokia. AOL became the cautionary tale attached to the worst merger in corporate history. Cisco and Intel spent 25 years climbing back to their dot-com peaks. Citigroup, IBM, Walmart, and ExxonMobil still exist, but none crack the top ten. The new top ten is Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and the AI infrastructure complex. Investors in 2000 were also certain they were buying the future's permanent giants. The data says most of today's winners won't be in the top ten a generation from now either, and there is no mechanism by which you find out which ones survive in advance. The valuation problem: In 2002, after Sun Microsystems collapsed 90%, CEO Scott McNealy explained to investors exactly what a 10x sales multiple actually demands: 100% of revenues paid as dividends for ten consecutive years, with zero costs, zero R&D, zero taxes, and zero employees. He was describing the math of the price investors had paid for his stock as a form of collective psychosis. Today, 51% of the S&P 500 by market cap trades above 10x sales. Half the index. The AI narrative is functioning as the dot-com narrative functioned: a story compelling enough to make the math feel optional. The math has never been optional.

  Now my @yahoo account never once has stated that I’m outta storage nor asked me to purchase extra data. And that’s the first account I’ve had since @aol and that was after you got that blue cd from Walmart to get a trial period on the internet.

  Stay the F away from @watchcommnet ! Use starlink, aol, dialup, *anything* else! When I get ahold of customer support they are wonderful, but getting to is near impossible. 40 minute wait times. Hung up after holding for 1 hour 27 minutes. Get a voicemail, etc.. #hell

  @AOL We don’t care, @AOL. Nobody with a functioning brain and a Spotify playlist cares. The world collectively decided years ago that Michael Jackson is untouchable, the allegations were a clown show, and you sad, jobless click-farm goblins are still out here recycling the same dusty script like it’s 2005 and people still trust you. Newsflash: they don’t. The King left the building, left the ranch, left the haters in the dirt, and his legacy is doing victory laps while you beg for engagement with “shocking” headlines that wouldn’t shock a houseplant. Touch some grass. Stream some Thriller. Or better yet, get a real job instead of farming MJ drama for pennies. The people have spoken: MJ forever, your pathetic “gotcha” content never. Stay irrelevant. 🖕

  @TTrimoreau Anyone remember Apple's EWorld? It was Apple's attempt to gain some of the profits from the internet craze. I told them it would fail. It ended up being a year and half late, and was still just a rebranded version of AOL online. It folded shortly after being released.
