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.

GOOD MORNING TLT NATION how do we feel about this little griddlehark charm concept !!!!!

OKAYYY i opened preorders for these !! all proceeds go directly towards my friend's dad cancer treatment fundraiser !!

Audrey R., who’s running for the OTW board, is apparently also currently running for office. As a Republican

so uhhhhhh keep that in mind when you’re voting

you’re saying this like a liberal who has the view of republicans.bad dems good and vote blue no mayter who.

y-yes? i sort of think the website that was founded because every other website was purging queer fanwork would be best served by someone who isn’t a member of the We Love Burning Books and Killing Gay People party. but that’s just the humble opinion of someone with a brain that works

Thank you OP!

I'd say it's pretty telling that it's nowhere in her bio for running for the OTW board. Let's be real, if she thought it would help get her elected it would have been in her bio.

While some of the answers she gave for follow up questions were perfectly fine, some were politically slippery, and others were scarily suspect. You can check them out yourself, I've put links below.

We can't have anyone from the murder gay people and burn books party on the OTW board. To be a republican you have to support their party line. Also Southwest Missouri is deeply, deeply red, so if she's running she's definitely pure republican, otherwise they wouldn't have supported her on the ticket, she would have had to run as an independent.

Even if you aren't a voting member, please reblog any iteration of this post, it doesn't have to have my comments included. Every voting member deserves to have the facts, and she's clearly gone to great pains to conceal this one.

I can't seem to find a transcript of the live chats, none of which I was or will be able to attend, so there might be more information out there. I thought maybe the discord would have a copy saved, but if it did I couldn't find it.

Here's more information if you're interested -

Link to bio

Link to extra questions

Link to chat times and general information

Update: she quit her current position at OTW according to her Twitter, which I’m guessing means she’s also withdrawing her candidacy.

I never want to hear conservatives go on about repressive censorship in China, North Korea, and Iran ever again

To be clear to those unfamiliar: these are the companies that libraries use to lend ebooks.

They are literally cutting off library access to minors.

If you are affected by this or other bans and restrictions in the United States, be aware that the Brooklyn Public Library is offering free digital library cards to anyone age 13-21 nationwide as part of their Books UnBanned initiative:

BOOOOOST
