… which was always a stupid name.

Twitter is supposedly dying any day now—like, drive up and see him if you want to say goodbye because he’s in the hospital and he’s refusing fluids, type of thing. I have no idea how true that is. I have no idea how true anything is. (What’s gonna happen Tuesday? Don’t ask me; the pollsters don’t even know.) Facebook has apparently been hemorrhaging users in recent years. People are talking as though there will soon be radical shifts in the way people interact with news and gossip and new information, and with the world of publishing. Which always sounds melodramatic to me, but then again these very sites instituted such radical shifts in the last dozen years, not least in my own life.
