@substack Hi! Question: can you explain why I no longer have the handle/domain https://t.co/wCz2fmxN2M despite being an active user?

@ed_solomon I’d really love to hear more about how people approach the process rewriting. I, for example, have a script that’s way to long and I’m struggling to figure out how cut it down (though your 500+ page first draft of Full Circle gives me hope!).

@mattschaar @303 @wooster I mean...yeah, nobody is saying it's great, but some people definitely seem think it's "not great" in a way that confirms their ideology.

Guess this isn’t a very controversial statement anymore.

@jomc I have long had the theory that sustained, historically low interest rates are one of the under appreciated things driving the current dystopian tech boom. Returns in safer assets suck, driving money into increasingly crazy tech stuff, consolidating economic power with big tech.

@MikeIsaac I do think, though, that there is an issue where people like Musk, who are accustomed to a more contained type of software, don't understand the nature of distributed systems. I've always felt that Apple had the same blindspot--for example with the infamous MobileMe rollout.

Gonna start producing music under the name The API.

Welcome to distributed systems, moron https://t.co/9tH4QShERF

Someone just emailed to offer me $100 for my Twitter account, so I figure I’d better tweet something to keep my account active.

@nwilliams030 Gabapentin seems to help with my occasional issues. It's prescription though, unfortunately.

@MikeIsaac Good overview here https://t.co/jyeeMLkE3u

@jm3 Anyway, yeah, I’ve long suspected that something like that existed and that I was being affected by it. There was just a point where it felt like the weather around here changed.

@jm3 Props on the Columbo gif BTW!

@jm3 Have not seen this! Barely look at this site now!

Reminder that Twitter was nowhere near bankruptcy in May.

Q2 loss of $244 million. Around $2.7 billion of cash in the bank.

Obviously not a healthy biz. But not close to a bankrupt one.

@jack @TwitterSupport It’s a singular solution to prevent the light of consciousness from escaping

Just wanted to make sure everyone over here was aware of this
