God damn it. Twitter is killing me.

I used to use ifthisthanthat to post our blog headlines to twitter, but since twitter charges for API, IFTTT started charging. That sucks.

Now, for some reason, the twitter list embedded at theskyiscrape.com no longer works.

Can't Elon just be racist and crazy and leave the rest of us alone?
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

He wants to make it an everything thing. Like chinas social network. But him in control of it all.
Remember also he wants to force his internet over the existing internet where he also controls and profits from everything .


Guys entered final stage of megalomaniac despot.

The logo is almost identical to the old X-Windows system logo making the app look regressive and amateur. Are they still "tweets" without the bird? Makes no sense to rebrand away from what's become common vernacular.

The X App has been his lifelong quest; a tool to extract shareholder value from every exchange on the internet. No chance he quits.
