So…Elon “Hardcore Musk”? That sounds like a scented candle to avoid at all costs.

Twitter has placed ads for brands like Honeywell, Discovery, National Women’s Soccer League, the Pittsburgh Steelers, USA Today, and Manchester City on the verified account of the National Socialist Network, a leading neo-Nazi group that engages in violence, has connections to terrorism, and uses Elon Musk’s platform to recruit new members. Twitter’s actions are reminder to advertisers that despite rebranding efforts by Musk and Linda Yaccarino, Twitter (now called X) remains a toxic environment for companies.

I don’t like how the article seems to treat the advertisers as victims here. If they’re still advertising on X, they’re supporting Nazis and it’s not involuntary. There’s a reason other advertisers left ages ago and it’s no secret. Musk himself is fascist scum and the platform is all about him and his ego, there’s no way to advertise there without choosing his side by default. If they’re willing to give him their money, I see no problem with them being outed as the Nazi sympathizers they are.

I clicked on a link to a post in a news article. (I don’t actually have a Twitter account) the x looks like the close window button in a popup window… a pretty stupid design choice. What’s that word for web design that intentionally makes you do something you don’t wanna do?

Except if it is one, I really doubt that it’s intentional: Dilbert Stark simply isn’t that smart.

So it’s just bad design. Ha. Which, yes. For sure. that x is ugly. The white gap in the letter almost hurts to look at when it’s at a small scale.

Because the X rating was not trademarked, anybody could apply it to their films, including pornographers, as many began to do in the 1970s. As pornography began to become more popular and more legally and commercially tolerated, pornographers placed an X rating on their films to emphasize the adult content. Some even started using multiple X’s (i.e. XX, XXX, etc.) to give the impression that their film contained more graphic sexual content than the simple X rating. In some cases, the X ratings were applied by reviewers or film scholars, e.g. William Rotsler, who wrote "The XXX-rating is for hardcore, the XX-rating is for softcore, and an X-rating is for comparatively cool films.
