Craig,
It's misspelled but you chose the correct answer.
Pentecost
A great feast confined the base price. (9)
A great feast = definition
confined = Pent
the base = e
price = cost
pent
E
cost
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks for the correction - I figured "cost" was "base price" -- the amount paid by the retailer for a product, which they then raise by some amount to make a profit. I didn't know what the "e" was (or "a" in my case  ).
Best wishes from chilly Minnesota! - Craig

Free speech! Unless it's critical of me or my new toy!
For a supposed genius Musk doesn't understand a thing about anything. He's about to find out though.
Edited to remove a political statement. I forgot myself. It's early and I'm still trying to clear the cobwebs out of my head.

And now he banned Kathy Griffin. Time for some popcorn. 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

She was banned for impersonating another Twitter account, which is specifically called out in the Twitter TOS.
|
|
|
|

I think he did it because she made him look dumb, like everyone else who did it. And all the people that warned him that's exactly what would happen when he changed the way the checks work. They were making a point, at his expense.
I'll believe it's actually about impersonation when impersonator accounts like @mueiiershewrote are removed as well. Then maybe.
Otherwise, I'll continue to believe this is about his bruised ego.

Ditto. 🍿🍿🍿
Its sad that one person can have so much power in our system that issues like this happen.

It was already in the Twitter TOS before Musk took over. “Certain groups” are just getting whiny now that the rules apply to everyone - not just “other groups”.

Elon Musk bought Twitter. He is the owner and boss.
I salute "Yes sir" when asked to do my job.
If I cannot, I will find another job.
If I am fired and I want/like my job, I will fight for it.
If I fail, I will find another job.
I know it's simplistic, but it's sort of a flow chart.

And what has working for musk to do with my message?
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

nothing specific. Just responding to general impression he was cleaning house at Twitter

Elon Musk's latest new toy doesn't seem to be working out for him.
Now he's trying to claw back a bunch of the people he unceremoniously fired.
I don't know about you, but as soon as you fired me (probably before), I already had another job. That's how it works where I'm from.
I can only imagine what the letters the HR dept has to send out look like.
"WE'RE SOOORRRY!!!" 
Adding, the scuttlebutt is the layoffs are because Twitters debt obligations now outstrip its projected income. Winning.

In general if I go out a door I won't come back, especially if I was thrown out and even more if for idiotic reasosn.
I would come back only under so many protection layers, bonuses and cautionary deposits that the company would probably be better off closing.

I quit my previous employer because I got recruited by another one - however, choice was easy since a lot of red flags were clearly raised.
Anyway, as soon as I resigned, said employer offered me to double my salary, which would have been much more than what I got in the new job - still did not go back. Once you are out, physically or mentally, there is no sane way back.

no sane way back. I have seen this fail sooo many times in the past

It's from Latin "Et tu Brute?" from Shakespeare's account of Julius Caesar.
It comes from the moment of Julius Caesar being stabbed by his friend Brutus.
It translates to "You too Brutus?" and indicative of a terminal betrayal.
I felt it was apropos to the situation.
