The Twitter sign is coming down, one letter at a time.

Lights. Camera. Twitter rebrand!
I guess projecting the company’s new “X” logo beats “Elon Musk: supreme parasite,” “Space Karen,” or “proof Elon an idiot” — all things previously projected onto Twitter HQ.

Twitter might try to step on LinkedIn’s turf.
Twitter is already littered with annoying thinkposts, so it’s halfway there.

Bloomberg says there’s been a surge of ‘hateful, violent, and inaccurate’ info on Twitter — and Twitter’s CEO isn’t thrilled about it.
The company’s new CEO, Linda Yaccarino, pushed back in a lengthy tweet, saying the company has “made progress” and that most tweets that cross a user’s feed are fine.
Why did this article warrant such a long response? To cheer up advertisers, who are worried about exactly this. Elon Musk tweeted last week that ad revenue is down 50 percent.

Twitter is working on some kind of article-writing product that was apparently once called “Notes.”
I was tagged in this tweet about it, so now I’m sharing it with you. Twitter product launches under Elon Musk’s ownership have been notoriously unpredictable, so I wouldn’t get too excited about this feature until it’s actually here. Still, if Twitter Blue’s 10,000-character limit isn’t enough for you, it seems like these new “Articles” could be an outlet for you.
Also, I really wish Twitter had kept the Notes name. No reason, honest!

Cathie Wood is so bullish on Twitter, she’s written down its stake in the company by almost half.
Her ARK Investment Management has previously predicted Tesla stock would be worth $2,000 per share by 2027, and she has also referred to Elon Musk as a “renaissance man.” Anyway!
“We take fair valuation very seriously and absolutely have had to write that [Twitter] down,” Wood said Friday. “The write-down is not representative of our fundamental outlook and belief in the long-term return on investment we believe that it will have for our shareholders.”
Hm, yes, almost like Twitter was all downside risk, huh?

Forum drama never dies.
Jack Dorsey — he of the Radiohead posts — has logged on to Threads, it seems. Anyway, a defensive posting 101 lesson for the rest of you: never give your enemies content.
