TIL Grimes wasn't explicitly allowed to have butts, breasts and genitals before.

edit: oh... not his ex. just call it Twitter ffs.

It's Twitter. It will always be twitter. It should never be called anything else. Put x.com in your browser and see what happens to the address bar. It's twitter.

they recently changed the address i think, finally. but i don't care, it's still a dumb and nondescript name (i mean, it's literally the shorthand for 'unknown') replacing probably the tech brand most integrated into languages around the world.

if you look closely you can see that the comment wasn't really edited; it's part of the joke. I'm glad it made you laugh.
