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.

I see a private ambulance service driving around my town occasionally and it always makes my skin crawl

statistical engine suggesting words that sound like they'd probably be correct is bad at reasoning

How can this be??

"if we want Trump to win this war we need to take the fight to Reddit" is a pretty incredible line

And I assume a decent "Nigerian prince" style filter

I'd argue the pager explosions were just a different form factor of carpet bombing

I think going back in time and video gaming Reagan would be a good start
