I think one of the reasons why we’re still seeing this done by journalists is because Elon’s takeover is probably relevant to whatever it is they’re reporting. I’ve definitely seen articles just refer to it as “X”. But whenever it’s a story about some crazy racist shit someone said or how poorly their advertising business is doing, it’s “formerly Twitter”.

That said, I think online people who aren’t writing for news outlets and aren’t insane will — for the most part — always call it Twitter out of spite until the site either dies or Musk sells it and it changes back.

Ah finally, the Good Ole Days

I think going back in time and video gaming Reagan would be a good start

Wow another Neil Cicierega project, I’m beginning to think this guy just is the internet

He is an ideal pick for Trump and one that presages the transformation of the Republican Party into a true, multi- ethnic working-class coalition.

Yeah man, nothing says “working class” like a Thiel-backed investor

I don’t remember what it was but I read something recently that said “up to 30+” and I had to reread it a few times

The thumbnail made me think this was about hitting children with busses, glad to see that’s already illegal

Dude sure does love his “perfect” phone calls

Dude I fucking love science
