Idk man, last time he was here this platform was used to incite an insurrection, multiple people died, the Vice President of the United States was nearly assassinated, and hundreds were injured but I guess that’s not enough for you to answer the question. Twitter poll it is

First they came for the parody accounts… and I was pretty shocked, because there are actual Nazis on this platform that should probably be dealt with first.

Firing your head of product during paternity leave is a bad look, and makes you look callous. Not even smoothing it over so it's an obvious firing makes you look incompetent.

Our new Twitter for iOS version, 8.65, is out. It contains really cool stuff for Spaces (trust us 👀), but most importantly, it resolves a lot of crashes that you could have experienced in the past few weeks.
You can go ahead and update, directly on the App Store. 🚀

iOS users 👋 We identified one of the main source of the crashes as a little bug related to the length of the host's (or speaker's) display name. Yup. Weird. We're rolling out a fix later this week.
More details here:

now, everyone with 600 or more followers can host a Space.
based on what we've learned, these accounts are likely to have a good experience hosting because of their existing audience. before bringing the ability to create a Space to everyone, we’re focused on a few things. 🧵

Thinking of the 100k. Reminded of lines I love from Terry Pratchett. So much wisdom inside the whimsy.
