Twitter (X) is awful. A cesspool. I agree with your basic premise that the only use it should be put to is to try to actively undermine it.

But "half of the most powerful Americans spend 6+ hours a day? Really? I wish Vought, Miller et al did. It would be less toxic than what they really do.

Organized Money podcast continues to be excellent but I remain puzzled that you guys say to follow you on Twitter.

Surely you know Twitter no longer exists.

When I go to "twitter.com" I get redirected to a cesspool.

@ddayen.bsky.social

At the end of the excellent Organized Money podcast, you tell people to follow you on Twitter.

I've tried going to twitter.com but went I do I get redirected to a cesspool. Why not ask people to follow you here, instead?

Love the podcast. Thanks.

But, speaking of music, it always ends with a sour note when you and Matt say to follow you ON TWITTER?????

TWITTER doesn't exist and we'd be better off if its successor, which shall not be named, didn't either.

You are active here, why are you pitching twitter?

The Trump administration has been kidnapping our neighbors, denying them due process, imprisoning and deporting them—sometimes to war zones or mega-prisons in countries they have never even been to and/or do not speak the language.

Just heard your great podcast #OrganizedMoney.

Only discordant note was that you and David Dayen told people to reach you on twitter.

Twitter?
a) Twitter no longer exists
b) We would be better off if its successor also ceased to exist

You should know better. #Xit

Not only preaching to the converted.

Lots of people and orgs on here are also still posting on X.

Why is any academic researcher posting on X?

And ironic that he would call out anti-Semitism in the Trump administration not on Blue Sky but on Musk's platform. No?

Or, perhaps the Heffalump would be more appropriate:

As the Chinese use Winnie the Pooh for Xi, we should adopt Eeyore for Trump.

TRUMP versus United States:

Supreme Court case that made presidents immune.

A fitting label for Trump's campaign.

This is more my kind of NY Public Library -- which is having its budget cut by Mayor Adams and is no longer open on Sundays.

Inertia is very strong.

And the big accounts stay because that's where there followers are, so they reinforce the idea that X is still ok.

I am sure Elon will keep the block feature for himself and his close friends.

The rest of will always have a block feature -- we won't be able to apply it selectively, but we can block X in its entirety.
