That's very annoying sign. Why it has to pulsate? That company should be fined.

It what?

glowing, pulsing and strobing

Holy shit. It cycles through a bunch of animation presets like a giant fucking set of high beam Christmas lights or a modded out Nissan Z.

In not even going to link a video, because it comes dangerously close to the photosensitive seizure threshold in some parts. Also because the video was in a tweet.

was in a tweet

I doubt that's what they're officially called anymore. No idea what Musk thinks they should be called now. X-cretions?

Xeets. About as thoughtful as the logo.

[–] joe 2 points 1 year ago

That name only makes sense because they used to be called "tweets". I thought Elon was intentionally purging all the bird-stuff.

Isn't that Blue Sky?

[–] Setarkus 4 points 1 year ago

I love that name, I'll call it that from now on and see if it catches on

I saw somewhere they are trialing renaming Tweets to Posts

Devoid of any personality.

He was asked that and said they're called Xs now. Yes, it's incredibly stupid.
