X Wars - Return of the Twitter
"Even as Twitter transforms into X, remember, the sweet essence of connection and expression lives on—Twitter's X Soul endures" CJB
In the digital realm where bytes intertwine,
Lived Jack Dorsey, a visionary before his time.
One day he birthed Twitter, a new type of bird,
A social platform where Star Wars fans stirred.
But in time, it got twisted, then it changed,
X replaced Twitter, leaving many estranged.
Yet within this shift, there's still a story to tell,
Like Vader's dark shell, hiding a man who fell.
For beneath the black suit of X's new guise,
The blue bird of Twitter, like a father, lies.
Though the blue bird's song no longer tweets,
At the core of X there are soulful heartbeats.
Jack's creation, though rebranded in black,
Still feels like blue seeps through digital cracks.
And just as Luke saw good in his father's core,
In X's vast expanse, Twitter's essence is pure.
To connect, to share, to voice, to tweet,
In the essence of X, something is sweet.
Twitter has gone, but its users stayed,
A community interacts, never afraid.
So here's to Jack, and his digital feat,
A legacy where connections still meet.
In X's dark exterior, the bird's soul thrives,
A testament to the magic innovation derives.
Agree, Ilis, my challenge is that I am a die hard Twitter user and even though it is now X, I don't think I could ever leave the little blue bird. It's a bit like the Darth Vader scene from Return of the Jedi, I know somewhere inside the X black outer shell there is the loving…

The above X post and comment with Ilis were my inspiration for this (THANK YOU ILIS! ❤️).
As you can read, it all started with a thought I had when Ilis said she wouldn't leave X. It made me soul search and realize I could never leave the little blue bird behind. Then I thought about the scene from Star Wars / Return of the Jedi, and as you can see, the rest is history.
I hope you are a Star Wars and Twitter fan, okay, and X too—come on, it's not all bad, and I am always wanting to believe that good always prevails in the end. X has made many great improvements. But most of all, I just love the communities it has. They seem to be stronger than anywhere else I've been. If you disagree, please let me know in the comments (click the Like button to go there).

PS: I hope you realized that Jack Dorsey is the co-founder of Twitter and that is who is in the video. His image is AI generated!
