I’m thinking about Jan 2022 vs Dec 2022… how it seems like everything (in tech) has done a 180. Twitter, obviously. But also like, NFTs were the hottest thing! Crypto ads in the Super Bowl! Now it’s completely collapsed. Meta, Amazon et all layoffs, something previously unthinkable. What else?? What about the flip - something that started the year in the toilet and ended up succeeding?

@peepeepoopoop This is indeed pretty amazing.

For me, it seems like COVID kinda pulled off the flip; last Jan it looked like we’d finally figure out how to mitigate infections effectively & permanently yet now it’s just “let ‘er rip!” everywhere, like basically the shrug emoji en masse. Arguably it goes beyond COVID to all pandemics; I mean monkey pox & even Ebola barely make any news now. Like…how? Are this many of us seriously OK dying/suffering/losing certain abilities so miserably? Weird.

@peepeepoopoop @ghoshuvo a lot of businesses bet the changes in consumer behavior due to COVID being permanent. Those bills came due. Of course tech liked the way the world worked during lockdowns, it suited them
