I still don’t really understand how community notes haven’t been killed yet. Did Elon fire everyone who knows how to control it?
Yeah super weird specially when I think some were correction to his xeets… Maybe he disabled them or somebody did disable them for him so he doesn’t see them? 🤷

Not a marine biologist, but I am a biology student in my undergrad, and have dissected these recently. That is indeed the butthole. Sea urchins don’t have eyes.
