What today's X topics reveal
The board flipped from a crash-and-Drake night to a TV-and-baseball night. The X Twitter Trending API still carries #LaGranjaVIPMX, but Chatsworth names are gone.
DWTS occupies two slots (#dwts and Maura). MLB occupies two more (Alcantara's first save, Salas's first two homers). #hltspoilers at 1 is a reminder that the live board can lead with a tag news desks have not labeled.
