One time during chemo they took my BP and the nurse kinda froze for a second and my mom(a doctor) went “what’s the number” and the nurse said “60/40” and I was like ‘hmm I wonder what that means’ so I i tried to sit up to look and realized it was a Bad Number cause I could not sit up and was suddenly Very Very Popular
This is kind of old, but still relevant.
Don't discuss ANY private matters on ANY social media no matter who you are.
They WILL do whatever if it benefits them in the end.
The world is scary right now. Stay safe.
PSA: never discuss private affairs in your DMs, especially contraception and abortion. Social media moguls will absolutely sell you out to the government. There are already cases of people being charged based on evidence in their DMs.
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.
Edit to add further developments:
Yes, this is all real. Check the notes and people have pictures. I understand the skepticism because it feels like a joke, but to the best of my knowledge, everything in the above is accurate.
Microsoft also owns the trademark on X for chatting and gaming because, y'know, X-box.
The logo came from a random podcaster who tweeted it at Musk.
The act of sending a tweet is now known as "Xeet". They even added a guide for how to Xeet.
The branding change is inconsistent. Some icons have changed, some have not, and the words "tweet" and "Twitter" are still all over the place on the site.
TweetDeck is currently unaffected and I hope it's because they forgot that it exists again. The complete negligence toward that tool and just leaving it the hell alone is the only thing that makes the site usable (and some of us are stuck on there for work).
This is likely because Musk was forced out of PayPal due to a failed credit line project and because he wanted to rename the site to "X-Paypal" and eventually just to "X".
This became a big deal behind the scenes as Musk paid over $1 million for the domain X.com and wanted to rebrand the company that already had the brand awareness people were using it as a verb to "pay online" (as in "I'll paypal you the money")
X.com is not currently owned by Musk. It is held by a domain registrar (I believe GoDaddy but I'm not entirely sure). Meaning as long as he's hung onto this idea of making X Corp a thing, he couldn't be arsed to pay the $15/year domain renewal.
Bloomberg estimates the rebranding wiped between $4 to $20 billion from the valuation of Twitter due to the loss of brand awareness.
The company was already worth less than half of the $44 billion Musk paid for it in the first place, meaning this may end up a worse deal than when Yahoo bought Tumblr.
One estimation (though this is with a grain of salt) said that Twitter is three months from defaulting on its loans taken out to buy the site. Those loans were secured with Tesla stock. Meaning the bank will seize that stock and, since it won't be enough to pay the debt (since it's worth around 50-75% of what it was at the time of the loan), they can start seizing personal assets of Elon Musk including the Twitter company itself and his interest in SpaceX.
Sesame Street's official accounts mocked the rebranding.
The Tumblr folks adopted us Redditors. Now it’s time for us to return the favor
friendly reminder for the new twitter refugees:
change your icon/pfp and put something coherent in your blog description or you're going to get blocked bcs people think you're a bot
this site is built around reblogs, so please actually reblog posts(especially art and fics!!)
you can set your likes and follows to private
checkmarks here are a meme and mean nothing
follower counts are private and we like it that way, so get used to not judging people by that metric
drama and discourse is boring, use your blacklist and block button liberally
DON'T CENSOR YOURSELF!! we can swear and say kill and make fun of corporations all we want, and if you tiktok-ify your tags people who have things blacklisted for whatever reason will still see them, and people who want to see that content won't be able to find it!! spell words out normally, you won't get in trouble!!
tumblr live is sketchy as hell and full of fake accounts, if you decide to use it anyway may god have mercy on your soul o7
be nice to the reddit refugees, they're our friends <3
Venho pensando, nesses últimos dias, em mil e uma formas de realmente começar a utilizar esse espaço, mas nenhuma me parece apropriada - voltarei a esse ponto logo em breve.
Parte da minha cabeça gostaria de poder produzir textos longos, elaborados e bem redigidos sobre qualquer coisa - especialmente sobre cinema e literatura - mas essa mesma parte da minha cabeça vem sentindo uma certa dificuldade de funcionar direito. Minha recente aquisição do título "Depressiva em Tratamento" vem complicando essa e muitas outras caminhadas.
De alguma forma, sei que não há regra restrita, mandou e desmandos sobre como utilizar um pedaço de internet, mas pense que careço do gatilho rápido e da pouca profundidade à qual outras redes (como o Twitter e o Mastodon) me condicionaram. Penso que talvez seja uma questão de tempo até que eu abrace um novo molde - tempo e prática, o que certamente irá render algumas divagações deslocadas e pouco produtivas como essa que escrevo agora.
Por fim, apenas gostaria de que esse blog não tivesse cara e cheiro de abandono, mesmo que não haja ninguém para testemunhar tais características - tão tristes - além de mim.
Damn I know it's wrong to murder a man, but this guy gets a pass.
She saw her moment and got glossed up for it
This comments section on Twitter is insane. Honestly though it deserves to be called X. Because it’s no longer Twitter.
It’s a place where you have to pay $10 a month to get your comment heard. Moderators that do nothing against reports because they themselves don’t find it offensive that something evil is happening to a person Either that or Ai not recognizing the issue.
AI being trained off every post.
No one I follow is seen. They didn’t pay for the checkmark therefore their post is “meaningless”.
Worst of all is that actual nazis are gaining a foothold on the site. Posting about wanting to do evil things to people and their posts stay up. It’s a fucking mess.
This post on Twitter really sent the Nazis reeling in the comments section. All sorts of cope and seethe happening in the comments section.

Minha experiência com o Twitter
O Twitter por uns anos foi a minha rede social favorita. Tudo começou em 2012 quando criei uma conta na rede social, porém eu excluí o meu perfil por conta que nesse tempo eu estava mais focado no Orkut. Foram 3 perfis meus, ao todos criados nessa rede social. Eu comentava sobre entretenimento, comentando as novelas e os programas de televisão através das tags
Eu comentava programas como The Voice Brasil, The Voice Kids, Caldeirão e o BBB, inclusive no BBB 2021 eu era da torcida Cactos e puxei votos para Juliette ganhar a edição, Juliette que é natural daqui, da Paraíba
Também foram muitas novelas que comentei através das tags no Twitter, entre elas, a novela O Cravo e a Rosa, Chocolate com Pimenta, Cheias de Charme e Fuzuê
Em outubro de 2022 o Twitter foi comprado pelo o Elon Musk e a partir daí eu me vi desinteressado pela rede, após várias atualizações que não me agradaram, a pior atualização de todas foi a ideia da troca de nomes e de logotipo. O Twitter virou um X e várias contas robô começaram a dominar a rede social. Por isso que decidi sair de uma vez do Twitter (que atualmente se chama X) Foi muito bom enquanto durou!
Just needed to be reblogged, your welcome.
Alexander Pennington here with the facts that hurt
So True. Spongebob Squarepants Battle for Bikini Bottom was remade and the Nicktoon's Unite series deserves to be remade too.

Oikawa Tooru, Japan's representative pretty boy actor, lands the best movie role of his career yet. Shame about who else is acting in it, too.
Dearest Oikawa, I am sorry that you hit me at the party last week. I am confident that your reputation will survive the backlash. Hopefully we will be able to speak on better terms the next time we meet. Yours, Ushijima Wakatoshi
