matt christman was right that it is only "addictive" if you are using it in short bursts while doing other things. It is very good at providing a distraction from other stuff. If you sit down at a desktop and just use Twitter without doing anything else, it becomes pretty boring pretty quickly.

Probably another global financial catastrophe that cuts off Musk's credit.

Twitter is still the place that the chattering classes go to chatter and the value of that audience will never stop being attractive to people with money to gamble.

[The Great] Reset

Let the public hear exactly what this disinformation consists of and decide for themselves.

Many times, we have found the “official fact-checker” to be the very individual making false statements!

For example, the chief fact-checker of The Washington Post was found to have made three demonstrably false statements in quick succession.

Maybe that is the case here, maybe not.
