I can’t miss it, as l have never followed it, and don’t have a Twitter account. As for the Ukraine war, l suggest that the thread on BBlitz is equal to anything else you will find, anywhere.
That doesn’t actually make sense. You won’t miss it but you think a thread that depends on it is the best thing going.
There is much more going on in that thread than a few tweets here and there.
It seems possible you’ve never opened it. More power to you, CJ. But if you like that thread, and it is Blitzers at their best imo, you’ll miss Twitter’s contribution to it.

Ah, you are right young Padawan. I read the entries, but more than half the time l don’t bother to look at the source, which more often than not is from Twitter. I read the post, or listen to a report, then move on.

There’s something profoundly ■■■■■■ up with late-stage capitalism when the previous board of Twitter, who were responsible for the well-being of Twitter, took Musk to court to force him to buy Twitter, which put them out of their jobs, and then resulted, predictably, in Twitter going into a death spiral through Musk’s extremely predictable mismanagement. And one of the big reasons Twitter is in a death spiral is that when Musk bought Twitter he partially paid for it using loans guaranteed by Twitter. So the whole process has left Twitter more indebted and a less attractive purchase prospect for anyone who wants to buy the thing off Musk and try to save it.
This is how Toys R Us died. Predatory capitalists bought it out, paid for it by loading debt onto the company itself rather than coming up with the cash themselves, then made massive uninformed changes to how the company worked. Predictably, a lot of those changes were duds, at the same time that the company was struggling to service the massive new debts its owners lumbered it with to no business gain. A perfectly functional company went under and load of people lost their jobs not because of anything wrong with its business model, just cos a bunch of management consultants saw the chance to earn big $$$ fees by organising a take-over, and structured the whole thing so someone else was left holding the can.

All true, but I can’t say I wouldn’t do the same if I had a stupidly overs offer for something I’d been struggling to offload for forever.

So something like 88% of their people have left. I don’t no how the company even keeps the lights on. A lot of focus on the software part of the organisation but how do all the support services still get done. Payroll, AP, Banking etc if you lose a big chunk of people those types of processes won’t still happen or if they do the risk of fraud has just jumped tenfold.

Do you really care though???
I don’t post on Twitter but I find it very informative especially big events. You can get real time news and analysis that’s vastly superior to actual media companies.
The humour is also fun, but that’s on all social media and replaceable.

There will be entire teams gone. Nobody left to to even do the recruiting.
