Well it's been a little while, Tŵters. I've been having my #MentalHealth break from the internet, and it's been amazing. I've read 8 books, and working on more. I've cooked, I've slept, I've visited friends; I've been resting and recuperating.
I'm feeling much better, and hope to be more active now. I hope you are all well, and that this Monday finds you peaceful and happy. x
@podfeet @briankrebs It seems I didn't miss much, then!
Does anyone know *why* the name-change?
The why goes into Elon Musks’ past. Good Mastodon thread on the topic:

Short answer is because Musk has had a long time obsession with his vision of X and is rushing to make Twitter X without doing the work involved, nor vetting the viability.
It’s why San Francisco police stopped a sign change and the site is still operating from twitter.com
To understand Musk's renewed obsession with X and focus on financial services, you REALLY need to understand the X/Confinity merger that became PayPal. And, particularly, the Peter Thiel-led coup that kicked Musk out as CEO/Chief Strategist. Here's how that happened. 1/🧵 #history #technology
