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??

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

The thumbnail made me think this was about hitting children with busses, glad to see that's already illegal
