Wikipedia has honest to god some of the worst source work I’ve ever seen on virtually all its pages that are primarily historical/political rather than scientific/mathematic. https://t.co/SJxT2enRur— Portrait of the Postman Joseph Roulin (@realerjoetalley) February 19, 2024

i’m in a film studies class this semester on documentaries related to genocides and with every reading we read i feel like i’m getting closer to being able to fully articulate the thoughts i’ve been having about the Internet’s role at this current moment, and how it diffuses— yoona (@TabiOrNotTabi) February 9, 2024

Because Twitter was purely chronological and because editors, producers, publishers, sources, bosses, managers, directors, hell, actual lawmakers were on here, seeing the same raw feed we all were, it meant you could circumnavigate that bottleneck.— Ryan Broderick (@broderick) April 13, 2023

Anyway, my tuppence worth on Musk and Twitter. He’s in for a rocky ride, and the question for me is whether his ego is going to make him destroy Twitter. Right now, what’s pretty clear is that he doesn’t understand what makes Twitter work. 1/10— Prof Paul Bernal (@PaulbernalUK) November 1, 2022

4/ What I found in my meetings is a view of innovation and increased connectivity as a near universal net good. Feels like a bit of a innovation hamster wheel. Not enough leaders seriously asking - does the innovation actually increase citizens' happiness?— Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) September 19, 2022
