Have you ever wondered why insurers have the reputation that they'll act like insurers in spite of all the horror stories and lawsuits over the last 20 years? I have, so I wrote about it. https://t.co/xo5ABdHZgo

i’ve never gotten here before

The sad thing is I love this site—I’ve met some of the most incredible people on here, and deepened existing friendships.

It’s just sad to see someone so arrogant take that from me. I don’t like it one bit. And while I know there are alternatives this still sucks.

Made verification meaningless. Eliminated Translate Tweet. Now this. Yeah he's an idiot but he's also a right winger who's buddy buddy w/a bunch of right wingers. He's methodically gutting the app that criticizes & mobilizes against the right more than any other app on the planet

@AliceFromQueens Its been a great node in the information ecosystem. It's a shame what Musk has done to it.

[A.R. Moxon 🦋 @JuliusGoat]

Something used by 10s of millions worldwide all of whom collectively create its value, demolished in a year because one toxic shithead has a lot of money; pretty perfect summation of billionaireism.

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

Twitter historically has been a place for global connection and social movements. It’s no surprise the richest man in the world is overseeing its demise.

[Scott Hechinger @ScottHech]

Everyone now feeling that horrible, powerless feeling of seeing judges purposefully ignore the law in order to harm historically marginalized & disadvantaged people should know that this is what it feels like to be a public defender all day every day. Judges don’t follow the law.

[Nicholas Grossman @NGrossman81]

Regular reminder that Elon Musk is a serial liar, so as dumb as it might be to claim that Twitter limited tweet reading on purpose to counter "data scraping," that's probably just the best excuse he could come up with for something even dumber and more embarrassing.

ACTUALLY THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE BIGGER AND MUCH GOVERNMENT WASTE COMES FROM IT BEING FORCED TO WORK WITH PRIVATE CONTRACTORS BECAUSE CERTAIN LEADERS DON'T WANT THERE TO BE MORE GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES.

[Ken Klippenstein @kenklippenstein]

pretty stark reminder today of how allowing individuals to amass extraordinary wealth directly affects everyone else

[Ed Zitron @edzitron]

lol

"'Suffering is universal,' Holocaust survivor Edith Eva Eger writes in her memoir The Choice. 'But victimhood is optional'...victimhood comes from the inside. No one can make you a victim but you." https://t.co/RKXEYGafjU

Periodic reminder that a billionaire tax isn’t just about revenue, it also prevents them from having practically limitless power

[Joey Politano 🏳️‍🌈 @JosephPolitano]

Do any of the "Twitter was 10x overstaffed" people want to show their heads now?

[Hank Green @hankgreen]

This actually happened. This is all either because the shareholders were greedy or because they thought an owner who /didn’t want to own the platform/ would be its best steward.

Your guess!!!

[Bruce Bartlett @BruceBartlett]

The promise of the internet is turning into purgatory as big companies buy up web sites and then destroy them. https://t.co/BsZeBprja7

[Tristan Dominguez @tristan79]

@SereneNecrosis_ @Ame0baRepublic @GothamGirlBlue I agree with this. I feel I have been acting with respect. Respect isn't obsequious deference.

[Tristan Dominguez @tristan79]

@SereneNecrosis_ @Ame0baRepublic @GothamGirlBlue If anything I feel like I've been hustled into this conversation. This is the most I've talked to people on twitter for months.

[Tristan Dominguez @tristan79]

@Ame0baRepublic @SereneNecrosis_ @GothamGirlBlue Sure, I'll take responsibility for that. Should've just let your comment go.
