A story in three quick acts.
@mmasnick Do you have a blue cannery in a coal mine graphic? Asking for a friend.
@mmasnick *canary. Still trying to get the edit function figured out
@JoshHeiman Here you are. A blue canary in a coalmine. Can't see any possible use for it...
@mmasnick
I hope you Feel Thanked Completely. I wasn’t expecting you to Consent to sharing this. I Decree you a mench.
@mmasnick @JoshHeiman ....Who watches over you. Make a little birdhouse in your soul
@mmasnick it seems just yesterday I thought “but if these people are hanging in there and TRYING maybe it’s not that bad”
@mmasnick listening to them on that call yesterday was wild. They seemed like the most patient human beings in the world.

@RobynCaplan @mmasnick the transcript is here, and it's wild to look at it again.

In retrospect, this was a last-ditch effort to save Twitter's ad business.

They repeatedly tried to get Elon to reassure brand partners during that call.

@mmasnick Unless elmo is ousted from all decisions re 🐦 I’ve no interest in supporting ANY ADVERTISER on that platform. I wouldn’t trust that crud with a et goldfish.
@mmasnick
Pet - cuz I haven’t figured out how to edit ✍️ or if I even can.
@mmasnick @maxkennerly Yeah, Elon’s doing a speed run, isn’t he? I think we should start a betting pool for when Twitter actually dies.
