Cheeky little pup.
I slept in and just woke up, so here's what I've been able to figure out while sipping coffee:
- Twitter has officially rebranded to X just a day or two after the move was announced.
- The official branding is that a tweet is now called "an X", for which there are too many jokes to make.
- The official account is still @twitter because someone else owns @X and they didn't reclaim the username first.
- The logo is 𝕏 which is the Unicode character Unicode U+1D54F so the logo cannot be copyrighted and it is highly likely that it cannot be protected as a trademark.
- Outside the visual logo, the trademark for the use of the name "X" in social media is held by Meta/Facebook, while the trademark for "X" in finance/commerce is owned by Microsoft.
- The rebranding has been stopped in Japan as the term "X Japan" is trademarked by the band X JAPAN.
- Elon had workers taking down the "Twitter" name from the side of the building. He did not have any permits to do this. The building owner called the cops who stopped the crew midway through so the sign just says "er".
- He still plans to call his streaming and media hosting branch of the company as "Xvideo". Nobody tell him.
This man wants you to give him control over all of your financial information.

it's wild that virtually all modern digital infrastructure is built to constantly spy on us and harvast our data for advertising yet online advertsing is still basically worthless and nobody seems to actually be benefitting from all this
a vast rube goldberg machine of privacy violations all working together to deliver the most precisely targeted ads straight into my adblocker
*starts messaging people after months of silence, enthusiastically happy* "soooo I've been depressed, sorry for being dead, how are you!"
in all seriousness though; I think the important thing, if this is happening to you, is to remember that most people aren't going to hate you for having life stuff and depression, and like my loving partner always says, "words don't have an expiration date", so it's ok if you aren't able to respond to something immediately. Try not to beat yourself up over not responding, cause it'll only make it harder for you to reach out to those you love, and talking to people will help your depression.
