Since flight tracking has all of a sudden become extremely popular, let's talk about how to look up "blocked" airplanes' live and historical data on the internet. It's easy!

@HelenKennedy The inconsistencies though. Big data brokers who sell and publish real-time location data (amongst other private data) on citizens, still have live accounts on Twitter (Spokeo, BeenVerified, Axciom, Radaris, etc.).

Big Data brokers are far more intrusive and dangerous to personal safety than publicly available flight tracking. Sharing this important opt-out list from #twitter #elon @yaelwrites

I'm just saying, Chair Powell plays guitar + Jamaica has already demonstrated that music is the next frontier in central bank communication. Fed band!

Yes, crime has risen in cities — and elsewhere — over the past few years. But that alone doesn't explain the concern.

Trump’s explanation for having dinner with white supremacist Nick Fuentes is the same explanation he used when he refused to condemn white supremacist David Duke

@maxboot Exactly. The CBO calculated the student loan repayment freeze at roughly six times that. And with today’s announced six-month extension, it will be even more. All of this is pocket change.

Twitter was special. But it's time to leave

Tweets were always short-lived. Turns out Twitter was too.

@hunterw @Dknopper

Do you think Mastodon sustain the growth? As clunky as it is, the tone of engagement reminds me so much of the kind and helpful early days of Twitter.
