I think I will try not using this app for a while.
I don't have much sense of agency or self-determination in this space.
No replacement. I'm just kinda not with this right now.
It means I may miss detail on some content from those I do admire.
@GailSimone I appreciate the cultural association with "a little bird told me". That was clever.
I don't know what the proposed thing stands for.
A placeholder for something lost?
Something eXtreme?
There's a lot of like corporate speak to parse here but it seems like "X" is meant to be more transactional, like financially.
Aren't there already apps for that?
It’s an exceptionally rare thing – in life or in business – that you get a second chance to make another big impression. Twitter made one massive impression and changed the way we communicate. Now, X will go further, transforming the global town square.
Our system is pretty broken
On one hand, one doesn't want government to control media because potential for censorship and tyranny is right there
On the other hand, one doesn't want private ownership of media (-_-)
So, public, non-government user/contributor controlled media?
@damnyouwillis Someone could write an article on how children in the 80's found surrogate father-figures and other role-models in their morning or afternoon cartoons while any guardians they had were busy with work.
Like, Charlie is all of us literal death or the symbolic death of separation.
Twitter and its logo are very suitable for the microblogging social media app because it relates to the idiom "A little bird told me" and how we receive news in our time.
1960s-70s Science Fiction TV series be like North American actors in clingy polyester encountering British actors in elaborate drag make-up and costume to reinterpret Shakespeare through a Cold War Space Race lens.
I dislike very much when people say they are for getting rid of "daylight savings time" but want to achieve this by making all our time daylight savings time.
That removes the transitions, but also removes humans from concepts of the analog clock and high noon.

@SixoTF My brain has a hard time with the robot characters who share a name but also have a lot of differences. My mind doesn't know how to store them. Like same character who undergoes change, different character common name, it's their universe of origin that was different....
@chrismcfeely It's not that the van is iconic on its own. It's more like Stranger Things is a phenomenon and it has 80s flavor (and attractive D&D ties?) And the van is one of the more recognizable vehicles (as in genre/period fashion the kids had bikes). Unless...you want a station wagon bot?
Someone there had to have already pitched this, right? Like, it's so obvious an opportunity with the red and yellow right there for so long.
Someone could improve this further, probably.
