And on the pedestal, these words appear:
"To build a breakthrough Twitter 2.0,
we will need to be extremely hardcore."

Everything that @elonmusk has done publicly so far to Twitter seems like exactly what I'd do if I wanted to ensure the entire platform ran straight into the ground, and fast. His actions and words make it really hard to see how this isn't actually his plan.

Free idea: Setup a site called "Unverified(.)me" which links to ideas for better things you can do with $8/$20 per month than Twitter. Include print papers & magazine subscriptions, artists, and other creators. Also have a section for charities which could do with the cash too.

My wife plays violin in a local orchestra. Tonight they started Sibelius’s 3rd symphony. In her score, she discovered my handwriting from when I made notes on the same copy of the same part of the same piece when I was in the NZ Secondary Schools Symphony Orchestra in 1994.

So apparently the TSB banking app is failing, and users are being presented with an error message “Not enough good slaves” - which, to non-technical users, is unexpected.
I do feel that the move a few years ago to remove master/slave terminology from computing was the right one.
