Why the gently caress is a movie titled Haunted Mansion premiering now and not in October? Especially since with the actor's and writer's strikes, October isn't going to be a stacked month for movie premieres.

It's a piece of JUNK!
I just realized another facet of the new branding is that it literally looks like there's a close button in the upper-right corner of embedded tweets. So if you see something you don't like, you may instinctively try to close it, but you will instead be taken to see more of it. Basically they're pop-up ads now.

It's a yearly event that was created by Dom and Letty. We find this out in the 7th film when they go to the 2014 Race Wars in a bid to return Lett's memory.

Do not understate the importance of the Race Wars.

that's why the character limit was originally 140, a text message is at most 160 characters and they left 20 for a header

I think if you want to be charitable about it, they were shooting for a summer blockbuster release a la Pirates of the Caribbean.

If you want to be realistic about it, the film’s been in development since 2010, and they probably just want to get it over with, milk it for the holiday on D+, and then memory hole it as a tax write off or something.

Trying to reconcile the fact that I also prefer the first bird with the knowledge that each of those redesigns probably cost more money than I'll make in my entire life. Possibly even the last one, if you add up the hours paid to people to go hunt down bird logos in the office or erect giant eye-searing letters on top of buildings.

IIRC those early redesigns were all done in-house, not by a grossly expensive third-party agency. So it didn't cost Twitter any more than it's standard operating costs. Though I will give you that the operating costs of a Bay area tech company are significantly higher than what the average Joe earns.
