I just read a few posts, tempted to reply or post my own.
Almost forgot the age & mental acuity demographic and the AI abound.

Best wishes to all.
Except @zeninternet , who are being an Oxymoron.

I've never watched a show I hated as much as #HisDarkMaterials Badly shot, terribly told, directed, produced with unlikeable characters.
Absolute travesty of the Great Story - by @PhilipPullman
If I'd seen the awful show first - I'd never have read the awesome book series.
@PixelleChic Hardly anybody asks the right questions any more.
They don't want to know the "actual answers" just to put data points on a chart, do their job and get paid.

Used to be people choose a time period (boomer, millennial) so they could disparage you.

Couldn't suspend my disbelief enough to believe in the story.
His Jean le Flambeur Trilogy - that I do recommend as it's great.
@dhewlett If you're trying to reach an "audience" because you are selling something then twitter has it's uses.
