“They got me. Twitter finally got me. I was out. I was doing work. I came back home and I looked on my computer screen and there was a thing because I had Twitter open and it said, you are being locked out of your account unless you delete the following tweet.”
— Tim Pool · opening announcement about suspension
“I was calling out grooming and I don't not like willy nilly just call people groomers like some people have been doing. So there is one story where I was specifically showing a group of adults showing sexual content to children. And I said, yes, they are grooming your kids. Twitter said I had to delete it.”

“Joe Biden, he's come out and said there won't be a recession. It's funny because they changed the definition of recession. Then Biden says there won't be one, which kind of means there probably will be one.”
