Tech writer Kara Swisher has long reported on tech by getting cozy with it. Her new book tries to make sense of industry ruptures she really should have seen coming. https://t.co/GxRP2DM9ny

Tomorrow, 4/20, we are removing legacy verified checkmarks. To remain verified on Twitter, individuals can sign up for Twitter Blue here: https://t.co/gzpCcwOXAX Organizations can sign up for Verified Organizations here:

The tweets by the people you follow are not the problem. It's the utterly absolutely mindless inanity of the replies to those tweets that has turned this place into a cesspool. I hadn't realized how bad it was until coming back here from Mastodon. It's... stark.
