HEY WHAT

[starheirxero]

Are the different robot shows in the same continuity or are they separate? Are they alternate universes within the same multiverse?

I have no idea what you're saying most of the time about the robots but they seem silly so I vaguely grasp why one may like them so much

Oh yeah completely unrelated but you were the first It/It's user I recall meeting and now I use It/Its also so uh thanks for that /silly

SAME CONTINUITY YES !!! There's actually like, a handful of shows and they're all under "the Security Breach Shows" (tsbs) title and all except one take place in the same world! That one exception is literally just one of the characters from the Sun and Moon Show (tsams) deciding that the main universe is too dangerous, and just. leaves. makes a home in another universe LMAO,,, Though I will say that the channels tend to have their own plots happening and don't intersect too terribly often, likely for the sake of the voice actors LOL

I mainly watch the ones with the Daycare Attendant characters (aforementioned tsams, then the Lunar and Earth show (tlaes) and the Eclipse and Puppet show (eaps)) but there's also channels with Roxanne and Gregory, Freddy and Funtime Freddy, etc etc! They even do crossovers for gaming episodes LMAO

ALSO BAJABSHDBD THAT'S EVERYTHING TO ME ACTUALLY I'M HONORED. Get hit with the it/its swag beam <3<3<3

official fandom discords give me indigestion

X

I am staring at the whole mess that is Elon Musk taking over Twitter and essentially changing it into his own, personal platform and I... I'm shaking my head so hard at the sheer stupidity this man is performing.

Is that seriously the reason he bought out one of the largest social platforms? So he could change it into X??? The name doesn't even fit, it's only a single letter! HOW DO YOU EXPECT THAT TO WORK???

I'm beyond relieved to have chosen this hellsite as my primary form of online social interaction (Discord for more personal connections) because at least I won't be sitting there watching a multi-billionair ripping everything good and holy about the site to pieces.

Folks. Gentlepeople. Esteemed fellow humans. Because of the name change 'tweet' and all its forms have been RUINED. That was the only good thing that came from Twitter, for me. And it's ruined.

Elon Musk took his knife of inflated wealth and ego and stabbed the blue bird

I haven’t properly updated in god knows how long and rarely check my inbox, but Uhh…

I am no longer the knower of everything that happens in the bnha x reader fandom. I do not keep up with discourse anymore and I’m really not associated with a lot, if any, bnha writers anymore. Beyond 2020, I know nothing about what anyone is up to outside of Sav. I no longer have any of the resources to ask anyone either, because I am not affiliated with many people. I’m sorry to anyone in my inbox asking about anyone 🙇🏽‍♀️

My personal opinion about this whole situation:

I'm not defending Ravi for what he did because he knew what he was doing. He knew all the risk of committing a crime while working in one of the most unforgiving industries, one that turned its back on his bandmate for doing literally nothing wrong. (Also wonho)

However, i dont think the punishment he's possibly going to receive fits his crime (which by my standard is very insignificant and not that immoral). His sentenc is not decided yet but the media and the prosecution are making him seem like the biggest offender here and using him as the face of the operation which is crazy to me considering the Gu guy had mentioned having many other high profile clients whose identities are being kept anonymous.

That disgusting s*x trafficer got sentenced to three years and he's being released this year after just serving a year and a half.

Now tell me, how does that make sense????

[theabstruseone]

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.

Edit to add further developments:

Yes, this is all real. Check the notes and people have pictures. I understand the skepticism because it feels like a joke, but to the best of my knowledge, everything in the above is accurate.

Microsoft also owns the trademark on X for chatting and gaming because, y'know, X-box.

The logo came from a random podcaster who tweeted it at Musk.

The act of sending a tweet is now known as "Xeet". They even added a guide for how to Xeet.

The branding change is inconsistent. Some icons have changed, some have not, and the words "tweet" and "Twitter" are still all over the place on the site.

TweetDeck is currently unaffected and I hope it's because they forgot that it exists again. The complete negligence toward that tool and just leaving it the hell alone is the only thing that makes the site usable (and some of us are stuck on there for work).

This is likely because Musk was forced out of PayPal due to a failed credit line project and because he wanted to rename the site to "X-Paypal" and eventually just to "X".

This became a big deal behind the scenes as Musk paid over $1 million for the domain X.com and wanted to rebrand the company that already had the brand awareness people were using it as a verb to "pay online" (as in "I'll paypal you the money")

X.com is not currently owned by Musk. It is held by a domain registrar (I believe GoDaddy but I'm not entirely sure). Meaning as long as he's hung onto this idea of making X Corp a thing, he couldn't be arsed to pay the $15/year domain renewal.

Bloomberg estimates the rebranding wiped between $4 to $20 billion from the valuation of Twitter due to the loss of brand awareness.

The company was already worth less than half of the $44 billion Musk paid for it in the first place, meaning this may end up a worse deal than when Yahoo bought Tumblr.

One estimation (though this is with a grain of salt) said that Twitter is three months from defaulting on its loans taken out to buy the site. Those loans were secured with Tesla stock. Meaning the bank will seize that stock and, since it won't be enough to pay the debt (since it's worth around 50-75% of what it was at the time of the loan), they can start seizing personal assets of Elon Musk including the Twitter company itself and his interest in SpaceX.

Sesame Street's official accounts mocked the rebranding.
