I understand when people talk about the communities they’ve helped form, and the dedication it takes to build a brand over years of work — but Twitter is NOT fucking worth anything anymore. The platform is dead, and its ‘engagement’ is fake.

Reading the FT front page story about a Chinese company introducing a battery with a 1500 km range & six minute recharging time & about how two Chinese companies own more than half of the global EV battery market & I am struck by the different realities the US and China occupy. We’ve lost the plot.
