【1982 Archives】
Earlier this week982 Archives X took the handle @Music from a user who had held it for 16 years. The @Music account (which has since merged with the now-defunct @TwitterMusic) celebrated the acquisition with a single, wordless post: a photo of Ed Sheeran holding a copy of his second album X.

Replies to and quote tweets of the photo of Sheeran are flooded with calls for X to return the handle to Vaught, and some well-deserved digs at the Sheeran photo. Namely, that it is so eye-rollingly lame to steal a handle and then announce yourself to the internet with a nearly 9-year-old reference ("X" was released in 2014).
