Elon shoots the bird and opts for an X.

By

 

By now you may have heard that Elon Musk has decided to rebrand Twitter by shooting the bird (literally and figuratively) and replace it with the an X.  Wow, was he inspired by the failed grade he's receiving in the court of public opinion for his mismanagement of the social media platform?  

The blue bird logo was synonymous with the platform and "tweets" entered the language lexicon. You'd think that protecting a company with global name recognition and loyal users would be #1 priority. Nope, not for Elon. 

 

Linda Yaccarino, the recently appointed CEO of Twitter X said in a tweet Xplanation, "X will be powered by AI and will connect us in ways we're just beginning to imagine." This follows  Elon's desire to make the app the go-to for everything. *insert eye roll* So, in other words, they want X to be the Swiss Army knife of the social media sphere.

IMO, there's only one problem: Elon has managed to piss off  users, advertisers, shit on employees, and just about everyone else with his antics, baffling ideas, and mismanagement of the company.  They're running for the Xit in droves because the social media platform is quickly becoming Xtinct. 

The decline of Twitter X will be a good college case study of how to screw up a company when narcissism and an inflated ego are mixed with zero knowledge about an industry, mistreatment of employees, and contempt for your users.

Can you hear this painting like I can? Hone in on a conversation; what are they discussing? There's music playing; what does it sound like? There's an aroma in the air; what does it smell like? Who is your favorite guest? What's their name? What are they wearing? The little girl at the top of the stairs - what does she think of it all? Who are her parents? How long has she been there? Why is she there? How long until she's discovered and sent back to bed? Decades have passed; does she remember this night still? BTW, looking for Peckerwood's Weekly Lunocracy Post? It's  RIGHT HERE .

  Here we are: the shortest day of the year, the longest night. Nature is slowly but surely continuing its cycle of rebirth and we will see brighter days ahead. It's the perfect time to reflect on the past year and consider what kind of light you'd like to bring into your life. A time of hope and renewal. I wish you all a happy Solstice!

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With Barbara Cartland!

Are you off work yet? Are you ready to throw a swingin' party? That means making party music mixes, right? And, yes, you must throw in a WTF song in the middle of the mix just to mess with everyone. For example, say you're throwing a New Years Eve party with a bunch of cooler-than-cool jazz or house music tracks; in the middle if it, throw in this song . I guarantee everyone will squeal with delight. In fact, throwing that song into any mix is always a good move.  Want more ideas for WTF songs to drop into your mixes? DJ Li'l Scratch has got you covered. But first, let's pause for a moment. This is important. Why? Because this is the definition of beauty: The face: like a pale, English Cream Custard (which is just a bit overcooked). The jewelry: made from the finest diamonelles money can buy. The eyes: with their exquisite baby tarantula eyelashes (the eye shadow is their after-birth). I'm overcome, I can barely breathe. And, no, this is not RichBitch. She is, of c...
