Too bad they didn’t start at the top, because twit" is super appropriate.

Even movies put more efforts into their branding that Musk. Because they know it’s important

Sounds like John Scalzi has finally had enough. I am a fan of his work but have been hoping he would finally get around to ditching that platform sooner or later.

I like the closing “self-interview”:

Will you miss Twitter?

I will, like I miss college, or living in Northern Virginia when I worked at AOL in the mid-90s, or any other time or place in my life that no longer exists in its previous form, except for in memory. …whatever it is now, it’s not Twitter, and there’s no percentage in pretending it is.

Korean meme:
“That X brings much harm.”
(Thereafter, Mao simply pointed at things that he wanted done.)

Plays off of the fact that Koreans self-censor an offensive word with an X.

I Xed.
Look at that X. Just look at it.
I am an occasional connoisseur of X.

He has a way with words.

As I mentioned elsewhere, it seems sort of silly to grieve a brand identity, but it’s not about the bird, it about the fact that Twitter was a place, with people, and now that place is gone. Musk took a city with thriving neighborhoods and decided to run a fucking interstate through the most interesting parts of it, and the interstate doesn’t actually go anywhere good; it just runs from Bitcoin Town to Fascistburg.
