keith olbermann owned me on here the other day and i've never been so embarassed and no i won't link the tweet. but to be fair he was clearly name searching himself on there because i didn't name tag, follow him, or reply to him in any way.

For all the ways in which the Imposter Buster saga is unique, it’s also symptomatic of larger issues that have long bedeviled Twitter: abuse, the weaponizing of anonymity, bot wars, and slow-motion decision making by the people running a real-time platform. These problems have only intensified since Donald Trump became president and chose Twitter as his primary mouthpiece. The platform is now the world’s principal venue for politics and outrage, culture and conversation–the home for both #MAGA and #MeToo.
This status has helped improve the company’s fortunes. Daily usage is up a healthy 12% year over year, and Twitter reported its first-ever quarterly profit in February, capping a 12-month period during which its stock doubled. Although the company still seems unlikely ever to match Facebook’s scale and profitability, it’s not in danger of failing. The occasional cries from financial analysts for CEO Jack Dorsey to sell Twitter or from critics for him to shut it down look more and more out of step.

i was tipped over the edge by a controversy over a passage in issa rae's 3 year old book when she says black women should date asian men - but not filipinos because they're the blacks of asia or something - which yeah obviously that's dumb as fuck and racist etc. but who the fuck cares? i certainly don't

you have to be judicious about what you choose to engage with! I gave up on trump news and outrage culture over a year ago and my life is better for it. there are lots of communities on twitter that make it worthwhile

This seems a popular opinion but it lets Kanye off the hook way too much imo. Twitter is the megaphone that Kanye picked up, and apparently millions are willing to listen. I find it hard to blame twitter - which is the absolute worst, yes, and yet - for that. In the end his stupid musings and opinions are his, not the platform's.
Whiney otm: Trump (ab)using twitter, raining down his stupidity on this platform, amplifying it, takes the cake.
