Just over four years ago, an insurrectionist mob found each other online, descended on Washington, stormed the Capitol and threatened the vice-president with a noose. But that was the good old days. We’re living in a different reality now. One in which the billionaires have been unchained.

      I guess so. Or at least for a long time - back when I signed up it was sold as a way of broadcasting SMS messages, and nobody really knew what it was good for. At least now we know it’s good for nothing.

        The worst thing we’ve done as a species is connected all of the stupidest people to each other.

        I remember signing up right at the start, having been there from the start of all this internet stuff.

        I sign up, then… “Now what?” This is just an endless streamed 140 character crap-fest.

        Sure, I could have filtered and followed someone (s) with something important to say… awful lot of work though.
