There was no vision shared with us. No 5 year plan like at Tesla. Nothing more than what anyone can see on Twitter. It allegedly is coming for those who stayed but the ask was blind faith and required signing away the severance offer before seeing it. Pure loyalty test.
With Twitter's change in ownership last week, I'm probably in the clear to talk about the most unethical thing I was asked to build while working at Twitter.

Every major military conflict seems to also carry with it a media revolution -- and for the fight for freedom in Ukraine, that revolution includes social audio. If you haven't yet, follow @walterlekh, and head into the @TwitterSpaces that he's in!
When conservatives invoke MLK to prevent efforts to redress the harms of racism show them this:
“A society that has done something special against the Negro for hundreds of years must now do something special for him, in order to equip him to compete on a just and equal basis."
I knew scientists were territorial but this is next level.
Remember Katalin Karikó, the unsung hero of mRNA vaccines? Her advisor Robert Suhadolnik tried to have her deported when she accepted a competing offer in another lab.
A few weeks ago, we asked our readers where they would like us to send one of @planet’s satellites.

"Individuals do not control waves, but can ride them. Individuals do not control events or structures, but can anticipate them and bend them to their purposes to some degree." Kingdon
on call *doesn't* have to be miserable. it can be a point of pride, joy, and satisfaction, even something you look forward to. leadership simply has to care.. and act like it.
this thread is an excellent case study in healthy on call practices.
Look, you are asking to secure oil pipelines, but we don't even have a representative government responsive enough to end daily harassment of its entire citizenship by robots selling auto warranties. The only thing we know how to do in America is land rockets standing up.
Hello world! I want to share with you a device I made, its name is "Yayagram", a machine that helps our beloved elders to keep communicating with their grandchildren . How? Let me open a thread to give you all the details of this contraption.
"Despite telling ourselves and the world that software roadmaps are a bad idea for well over a decade, we still made the mistake with HEY and custom domains. I'm sympathetic to why we did that, but a mistake it was." https://t.co/BXdVcw9V6c
I was a senior in HS in Boulder when Columbine happened. I remember parsing through things with friends the next week at the Abos in Table Mesa right behind that King Soopers. It's crazy that in 20+ years we've made no progress at all with these things.
The first "digital native" generation just spent a year watching dim-witted adults with 5+ years of college utterly fail at the kind of very basic stuff Gen Z does for fun every day: stream, chat, type, learn, and teach each other stuff.
