    It’s all just so bad, and I’m impressed at how hard he’s doubling down.

    I’ve deleted the app but I still get emails in my junk folder from “X (Formerly Twitter)” and I think the fact that they have to add that piece of info says everything that needs to be said about their rebrand





  • Just finished a book about the Lusitania sinking in WW1, this situation (very vaguely) reminds me of that, given that Germany was publicly threatening to sink vessels headed to Britain under the assumption they could be transporting supplies. They went so far as to take an ad out in the paper warning the ship not to sail, as it would be a target.

    Would highly recommend it by the way, it was called Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of The Lusitania and it was meticulously researched and very well written. There is a lot more to the story than what I said here and is well worth the read.
