Twitter/X started an ad campaign to attract more advertisers and users to the platform, but it didn't vet the tweets that went into the ad.
One included tweet is about Musk blaming his company's problems "on the Jews." Incredible.

Even as AI poasters and startup threadbois thrive here, it appears interesting and influential people are posting less.
Particularly reporters and news pundits.
Here's a chart showing changes at Twitter that contributed to this. Note that in 2022, Twitter was nearly all green.

Displaying the Thin Orange Line flag on your home, business, or vehicle is a helpful way of showing support to America’s newsletter writers who work tirelessly to bring our people the discourse they crave.
How often are you invited to collaborate with an author while they are writing their book? And it's @stewartbrand so... Also of note: Thanks to Stripe's @patrickc, @WorksInProgMag has developed a cool web collaboration tool to Read and Submit comments in-line. Try it.
