Best of luck for the battle of Ypres, we're all with you.
What's with the multi colour?
Fashion.
What the fuck are they?
I never thought I'd see footwear worse than a slider.
Didn’t know Lewis was a cowboy.
Didn't know Lewis dabbled in photography as well, lovely soft focus there
Jeff Jarrett ass wardrobe.
Are the shoes matching the thing they're on or is the thing they're on matching the shoes?
My full flat and all of my clothes are in that colour scheme.
Beautiful hardwood.
Just had to mute my own comment after 22 likes in 14 minutes. Gonna go viral.

We're going to have to re-name the thread...
The X Thread.
LL Bean boots are meant to be high quality, so I think Lewis wins this one.
LL Bean Boots is Lewis' rap name.
We aren't actually believing that's his shoe collection right?
They are his boots and I won't hear otherwise.
I see Elon finally got to use his x.com domain. Life goal accomplished, the sad little fart.

What a mong.
The previous changes have been whatever because Twitter was still Twitter. Half the planet has been tweeting since pissing 2009 and nobody actually has the energy to actually decamp to Mastodon or Threads. If he succeeds in making that happen it'll be genuinely impressive. What do you call a post on there now? An X?
X rhymes with sex so I think it's great and he's really like a cooler Tony Stark isn't he
There must be a case that he's genuinely trying to destroy the platform, which in its heyday was a very effective rallying point for the left-liberal end of things.
And you can say he'll lose billions from it, but then I'm not sure he's even that fussed by money, he seems more fussed by power.

On the ropes
Imagine buying a brand for that much money, a brand that strong it's name is a verb in modern vocabulary, then rebranding
Especially when you might not own the copyright.

Reading that it seems they only own an X logo with the left half white and the right half blue.
Trademark, not copyright. But still.
Saying "half the planet" are on it is way over exaggerating too - it has about 250m daily active users, which is less than Snapchat and about a 10th of what Instagram has
I love how people ascribe genius to dumb people. He didn't even want to buy it! He was sued into buying the fucker in the first place. Now it's an elaborate plot to bring down the concept of online protest!
He's already been forced off the PayPal board for this exact dumb idea.
It'll probably be no loss at this stage anyway.
It would be a loss if it went. Massive open information source. The replacements are pathetic as well.
I don't think I'll miss it. It's not like when I try to look something up, Twitter is top of the google search results. 9 times out of 10 it's Reddit, the rest of the time it's wiki Fandom, and I've no idea what that is.
Threads, Mastodon, Bluesky and whatever else have no place on my phone. Reddit and Instagram only.
No Twitter just means I won't be as into FPL or gambling, which is no bad thing.

I have no idea how Mastodon or Bluesky work so if this goes then I can do without.
If anyone wants a Bluesky invite, PM meyour email addressand I’ll see you a code. I'vetwoone to share.
It's basically Twitter but with nobody on and you see random posts off people you don't know.

None of them will work because, unlike Twitter, they are designed to try and scrape a profit out of you, which nobody wants. Twitter existed first as a useful tool and then, it having succeeded, they tried to make money off it.
Instagram is just about faking your best life and Snapchat is for imbeciles. Twitter gave all the loonies a voice.
Possibly the greatest comedian of our age.
Not gonna click them but I saw the bottom left one posted elsewhere and didn't get it.

I did and watching a box on a screen, split into a further four boxes, each containing half that box (seriously dude, just flip your phone onto its side when recording) must represent some sort of nadir for humanity.
