1. ABOUT LAST NIGHT. I participated in a Twitter space hosted by @katienotopoulos w/a lot of journalists . When I joined @jason, one of Musk's apparatchiks, was badgering @drewharwell, a suspended reporter, and Jack Sweeney, the guy behind the accounts that tracked jets. 🧵.

Arrived home at JFK Airport last night. Tried to take a @lyft. Three canceled drivers and two late fees later, I was left standing at the curb. Took a yellow cab from the queue, and got home cheaper, and without waiting. Minus 40 needless mins waiting for Lyft no-shows.
