On goes the unbuilding of Twitter, and the ruining of a public asset— even though it was a private company. "The company also covered the letter 'w' in the name 'Twitter' on a large public sign outside its San Francisco headquarters."

Hmmm. "Americans may be exhausted by the turmoil and chaos of the Trump years, but there seems no slackening or pulling back. Each event in the past week seemed to reinforce the overall stakes."

"Nobody’s saying ‘don’t cover the speech.’ They’re saying, ‘you don’t need to transmit it live.’ Those are two different things." From my recent interview with @VICENews  about the coverage of indictment night.

Not the odds, but the stakes.

@WRaleighIV @TheTNHoller  And Politico says No One Should Be That Shocked by What’s Happening in Tennessee. So what. These are Twitter rituals. For some people nothing is ever new and no one should ever be surprised.

Fuego was a bot made by @NiemanLab . I used it daily. Twitter’s API restrictions have killed it. How is it in the owner's interest to break this little piece of the web? Don't say revenue. $42,000/month is a joke price, not a serious attempt to monetize.

@HangleyJr @NiemanLab  Okay, I will bite. How — without resorting to a conspiracy theory — is any decent news platform worth more dead than alive to him and his investors?

@HangleyJr @NiemanLab  I know I am going to regret this, but... He paid $44 billion for Twitter so that he could kill it and thereby hurt the journalists he hates. Is this your testimony?

@waltb31 Why don't they just close shop then? Announce that Twitter is over, and leave the bill to the Saudi, Russian, Qatar interests who can payoff the creditors.
