"The mysterious outage of Tweetbot and other third-party Twitter clients that began Thursday night was an intentional suspension, according to internal messages viewed by The Information. The suspension cut off the ability of people to use Twitter on outside apps, forcing them to go to Twitter’s own app."

This situation BEGS for a rousing, rallying call and a moment to be proud of what we can do as Americans to really, truly help people who deserve it and will stand with us as forever democratic allies.

YES? Don't you want to hear and cheer for this?!?!

As a fringe group of Tucker Republicans stake out a disgusting position on Ukraine, it would be a strong move for an ambitious Dem to give a rousing speech about how our awesome American might and treasure are being used to save our brothers and sisters in freedom.

Any pundit who is criticizing Pres. Zelenskyy's attire is failing to read the room, but moreover, they're just completely missing the point.

A country and its leader under immediate and existential threats have no time for suits and neckties.

He has no visible rank or medals or nametapes or epaulets or brass buttons or starched creases. He's wearing what women and men who are fighting on the frontlines in Ukraine are wearing.

He's wearing the urgency of the moment.

That's the point.

I spent a good part of this year investigating Google's ad business. Today we published a story about trying to crack open its black box ad network.
