Interesting timing of Twitter changing its logo to the Doge dog... just as Elon is trying to get out of a (stupid, likely to fail) lawsuit arguing that he pumped & dumped dogecoin.

Today in Twitter: where are the retweet labels, and why did Doge replace the bird?

Twitter is having a normal one: the bird logo has been replaced by a Doge icon, and retweets are showing up on people’s following timelines without any labels marking them as such.

@mmasnick The depths of Musk’s obsession with the juvenile knows no nadir. What a fucking idiot.

@KimCrayton1 @mmasnick I was just marveling at the fact that this appears to be Tr*mp’s _first_ criminal indictment. Like, what?

@ubiquity75 @KimCrayton1 @mmasnick i agree. and it's been in plain sight. and still no movement from garland. i have had my suspicions that trump is just another whitey bulger - he played the fbi by telling them he'd be some sort of informant, and really it just gave him a free pass to crime away his entire life.

it may also just be - rich white guy gets away with everything. we may never know.
