How long do you think we'll keep seeing "formerly Twitter"?
  • 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.

  • Lots of negativity towards AI lately, but consider:
  • My head cannon is that AI = LLMS and machine learning = actually useful "artificial intelligence"

  • This is a bigger culture shock than the metric vs imperial system to me.
  • I didn't know they used 0-indexed buildings in ingerland

  • Kids Are Working in America’s Meatpacking Plants
  • Ah finally, the Good Ole Days

  • Why does the USA have so few legal protections for ordinary people, and how can we change that?

  • Setup rule
  • Wow another Neil Cicierega project, I'm beginning to think this guy just is the internet

  • JD Vance is a serious political figure who genuinely cares about average people — the perfect pick for Trump and America
  • 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
