In case you haven’t heard, Elon Musk has decided to rename Twitter to “X”:

It’s Here! Welcome to X!

Twitter is now officially “X”.

The logo has been changed. There will be a lot of people outraged over this, for absolutely no reason.

Nothing changes. You can still use the app just the way you could before. Everything operates identical to how it… pic.twitter.com/Q9M22yUDg0

This will be difficult and confusing for me on a personal level for multiple reasons, not the least of which is that my girlfriend is named “X” (yes, it’s true; many Thais have 1-letter nicknames like Cee, Jay, Dee or S and hers is X).

More relevant here is the title of the regular article. After all, while “All aTwitter” may not be the greatest name in the world, “All X” just doesn’t really ‘sing’ to me at all.

If you’ve got any suggestions for renaming the (almost) daily Twitt…er.. I mean… X-article, please feel free to leave them in the comments below. For now, we’ll stick with All aTwitter, but I’m not sure how long that’ll hold up.

Almost year of planning to make camp epic this year. It’s really the work of our passionate fans giving us feedback and our dedicated team listening and executing a fan vision. It’s just the beginning several exciting plans we will unveil soon for our upcoming season. #HTTC https://t.co/P6RR7QWdVV

The #Commanders worked K Michael Badgley today, via the transaction report.

Badgley played with the Bears and Lions last season, making 24-for-28 on FGS and drilling all 33 of his extra-point attempts. He also has one of the greatest nicknames in sports, “The Money Badger.”

Also, wonder if #Bills & #BillsMafia bring in J.D. McKissic for a look to try & add depth. They agreed to terms with him before he went back to Washington before last year. Lot of injuries but… https://t.co/REuAmIkDIa

This would qualify as NFI (non-football injury) and allow the Bills to pay anywhere from 0 to his scheduled salary.
Depends how they want to treat him. https://t.co/iVuPi49FGT

— Andrew Brandt (@AndrewBrandt) July 24, 2023

I would assume the “sitting on a jet ski” is a hope to say he was not “engaging” in the activity and thus should be paid while on NFI. Most #Bills contracts specifically mention “water skiing” as the type of injury that would immediately void guarantees.

Aaron Rodgers threw 12 INTS last season

5 of those were poor throws or poor decisions

7 of them were tips or Hail Mary/1 on 1 heaves to give a guy an opportunity ball
