On Whatever I'm talking about the name change of Twitter to X, what it means to me and others, and why I'm going to be on that site much less from now on.
(Also it means Mastodon will be a beneficiary, as probably a lot of things that would previously had been tweets will now become toots. Although I will have to remember to put a hashtag on the political stuff, I sometimes forget that)

I'm Elon Musk, for eX-lax.
Some things in life are hard to get through.
Sometimes you bite off more than you can chew.

But when you're ready to be regular again,
there's eX-lax."
