イーロン・マスクがツイッター買収して100日経過のツイート。
Elon Musk’s first 100 days in charge of Twitter will come to a close at the end of this week, and the billionaire is right about at least one thing: Twitter is a dumpster fire right now https://t.co/vfNhuBuH8S

この"dumpster fire"という言葉、普通に聞くけれど、なんでゴミ箱の火事がそんな意味に？と思って調べたら以外に新しい言葉だった様子。
In late 2015 the term shifted towards the realm of politics, and particularly the 2016 United States presidential election.[2] The Daily Beast suggested that it was linked to Republican Party candidate Donald Trump, with Google searches for the word spiking when he announced his presidential run in October 2015.[3] That year, "dumpster fire"—as well as the two emoji that represent the individual words, "🗑️🔥"—was announced to be the American Dialect Society's word of the year, beating out "woke" in a run-off election.[4] The president of the vote, sociolinguist Ben Zimmer, reasoned that people used the word to describe the unpleasant year in a "colorful, evocative" way, adding that it was a term suited for "pessimistic times".[5]
なるほど2016年の大統領選で普通に使われるようになったわけね。🗑️🔥
