On this November 18 edition of the Shacknews Dump, we’re looking at the latest chaos in the Elon-run era of Twitter, including the delay of Twitter Blue, his failed ultimatum to workers, and the decision to unban Jordan Peterson, Kathy Griffin, and the Babylon Bee. Meanwhile, we also look at the latest Splatoon 3 Splatfest results. Did your team come out on top? Of course, we have to talk about the Fuecoco in the room and chat about the release of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
