Yikes! Wonder if theyâve gotten to my paper installation yetâŚ
At Twitter's (X's?) offices, workers are trying to remove all bird-related paraphernalia, according to two sources. In San Francisco, folks have been working to remove a 10-foot tall blue bird logo from the cafeteria. In its place, X logos have been projected on the wall.
