Just joined to comment to @gruber. Kind of like it. 30+ years as a software engineer. Now convalescing from having a brain tumor the size of a tennis ball removed on 6/3/2023.

@gruber When I had a phone screen for a job at Disney many years ago, the exec who was interviewing me described their core business as "Characters". Which explained the Lucasfilm and Marvel acquisitions. I think by the numbers, they make the most money off ABC/ESPN though. The theme parks and cruise lines are a drop in the bucket.

Enough whining about Twitter, what SHOULD X and all these Twitter 2.0s look like?

Twitter was bullshit as a business before Elon. Getting rid of the arbitrary censorship was a good thing, Twitter classic always felt like the movie Mean Girls, people with conflicting opinions need not apply.

Me: I would like to see topic trees. If I spawn some thread that takes off, and people line up on either side of the issue, it would be nice to have the followups organized: pro/con/ambivalent.
