@mellinger @JakesJournal Ok this is embarrassing because it forces me to admit I haven’t logged onto the bird site in like two months. But y’all are so kind, and I miss these days terribly. Melly, your copy was always a delight. 😌

One detail that could prove important: Twitter has no automated means to remove verification badges for people who don’t pay for Blue.

Except he just fired 80% of his contractors.
