There are non-incel Musk fans? I suppose it's possible …

Based on the people you've mentioned working with, I wouldn't wear deodorant but make a point of chewing coffee-garlic gum.

I only talk about the bad ones. It comes with the territory though (working in a technical field).

You should be one of those Hollywood rogue computer guys who upload viruses that let hackers say, “I’m in!”

I thought he scowled for a living, like a gargoyle. We need to have a directory that keeps track of this stuff.

Either you or she or both of you have lost your fastball.

Hello,

You haven't lost your fastball - you've gained a change-up.

RE: twitter, I sort of cheated. I still have a "public" account that I use for work and dorky branding-ish purposes. Outside of a couple random friends, I just follow reporters and stuff, so it's kept me up to date on election stuff (which I need to do for work anyways) and killing my "fun" anonymous account seems to have done the job of stopping me from endless posting and following stupid twitter drama. It's actually probably beneficial for me to spend a little more time maintaining my "public" account in terms of potential new work, so this might be the sweet spot. I also spend, like, a few minutes a day checking news updates instead of endless hours of scrolling.

Doesn't really replace the socialization component, but I'm not sure how much "twitter socializing" has really been a benefit now that I'm even a few days removed from it.
