It’s heartbreaking what ten years and a Nazi-enabling takeover can do to one of the most important tech utilities of the modern era. I speak, of course, of Twitter. Ten years ago this summer, I built the bulk of my core Twitter following while live-blogging a landmark legislative session for abortion rights here in Texas.
If this is the quality of “independent journalism” we can expect on Twitter/X/TwiX, then let it burn to the ground. Clickbait isn’t journalism.
Came to say this. Clickbait bullshit blogging/article churning isn’t journalism. Good fucking riddance.
