Just a note that the new Tweetdeck has completely screwed my access to Twitter (and obviously I'm not going to pay to use it). So I'm nearing the end of my time here: if I disappear that's why. Time to find a healthier more productive use of my time, like taking up crack cocaine

I don't really understand economics terms so I do wonder, as someone who has, under various accounts, wasted 14 years of their life on this fucking terrible platform but yet still can't leave, whether I'm just doomed to be an embodiment of the sunk cost fallacy.

Some of the people complaining they can't see their own tweets shouldn't be complaining.
