@jayrosen_nyu It’s yet another sinister form of NYT both-sides-ing. One side has an investigation? The other side has a counter-investigation.
In actuality, one side has nearly completed an investigation and the other side will now attempt to sabotage and discredit it.

Luke MacNeilI used to travel to #SanFrancisco a lot for business. That's where I really started getting into photography.
I don't drink, so after meetings I would just walk around and take #streetphotography
Turns out, I liked doing that more than my job.

Matt SeyboldOur miserly reluctance to retweet has always been a great example of how we capitulate to economies of artificial scarcity which reinforce the false logic of marginal economics.
There’s no need to economize! Smash that boost. Its stock is bottomless. And by doing so you are “federating” this system, quite literally making us all more visible to one another across the arbitrary borders of instance-iation & the real restraints on servers.
Matt Blaze@Jelaniya @jeffjarvis I agree. It's a lost cause under the current management and policies, and the house always wins. Twitter isn't a country we can defend by repelling invaders. It's, ultimately, just a web site owned by an increasingly hostile billionaire. The only way to win is to move elsewhere.
I still visit, but just to find friends to tell them where I've moved.
Robert ReichFrom 1989 to 2019, typical working families saw a negligible increase in wealth.
Meanwhile, the wealthiest one percent got $29 trillion richer in those same 30 years.
This is what oligarchy looks like.

Boss made a dollar
Grandad made a dime
But that was a poem
From a simpler time
Boss made a thousand
Gave my pa a cent
But that penny bought a mortgage
Or at least it paid the rent
Now boss makes a million
And gives us jack
Smugly blames his workers
For the labor that he lacks

The arguments for remaining on twitter to “fight” remind me of the gambling adage that the house always wins. “Fighting” there is like gambling and thinking you’ll eventually beat the house. But even if you win $10,000 at the slot machine it’s because it’s in the casino’s bigger interests to give you $10,000.
A viral post from a progressive helps prop up an increasingly reactionary company. @jeffjarvis
