A "Tweet" is now officially referred to as a "Xeet" according to X's new help center page.

Glad your hero and saviour Elon Musk was so vigilant in binning off the bots.

In recent days, a video filmed in Croydon during a police operation in support of Transport for London ticket inspectors has been shared widely on social media. Assistant Commissioner Matt Twist has issued the following statement: 🧵1 of 4
“It is clear from the video that has been shared online that this incident was distressing for the woman involved and particularly for her child. We understand why it has prompted significant public concern and we want to be transparent about our position and the role of our officers. “Officers from the Met’s Roads and Transport Policing Command were supporting TfL ticket inspectors on a pre-planned operation in Windmill Road, Croydon on Friday, 21 July. As buses pulled into the stop, TfL inspectors would check the tickets of those onboard and also those getting off. “Anyone without a valid ticket is required to provide their details to a TfL inspector so a penalty fare can be issued. This is not a policing matter. Officers only become involved where details are not provided or where someone tries to leave when challenged.

Here's the Brazil men's team's World Cup quarter final against Croatia for contrast. Neymar isn't 'Da Silva Santos Júnior', as an example. Seems to actually take a lot more effort to put the women's long names in. #BBCFootball nitter.cf/telekin/status/1683438…

Why are they doing this and not putting the nicknames? As they would at any other time. All the text commentary references Debinha, Tamires, Antonia, etc. so this makes no sense. #BRAPAN #BBCFootball

Over zealous with the apostrophes here, but my point remains. I just don't understand it.

So in a full team of 11 in an environment where most people are unfamiliar with the players and it would be easy to confuse them - yeah, just put the long names in, fuck it.

If Wikipedia can do it, it's not fucking hard, is it?

Not sure #MAR needed to score against themselves twice to lose this one. #GERMAR
