Part 8/12:
Perhaps one of the most amusing segments concerns celebrities fleeing Twitter (now rebranded as X) after Elon Musk’s takeover and the perceived toxicity it fostered. They’re migrating en masse to Blue Sky, a social platform founded by Jack Dorsey. Brad points out that the platform promises a “safer” community—yet, ironically, it’s filled with echo chambers where disagreement is discouraged.
Notable departures include Lizzo, James Gunn, Weird Al, Ryan Reynolds, and many others—many of whom are eager to buy their usernames to prevent “trolls.” Brett mocks the platform’s overly sanitized vibe, likening it to a “playpen,” and calls out the absurdity of celebrities announcing their “departure” rather than quietly disappearing.
