Not a good look.

Look, I know.... I know that RFK Jr has a condition that makes his voice sound the way it does, but it is still the case that sound is not his strong point.

I take it that Twitter Spaces will eventually also start using video as well, right?

He has to balance between the extremes of DeSantis on the one hand and RFK Jr on the other.
It wouldn't be fair and balanced otherwise

Because Donald Trump is citing Musk's "Twitter Files" as a basis for attempting to appeal his dismissed lawsuit against Twitter for banning him, Twitter's legal team has had to file a response extensively debunking the Twitter Files, contradicting many of Musk's own claims about them on the record.

That really is delightful.

There must be a word in German for this.

Given the extreme challenges they had in doing audio, I wouldn't count on video happening before Twitter goes belly-up and gets sold for parts.

Twitter's ad sales dropped 59% year on year in April according to leaked internal documents.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...weeks-May.html

Apologies for the Daily Fail link but it was the first non paywalled link on a Google search. Forbes and the NYT are also carrying the story.

Also, the Head of Trust and Safety resigned after Elon Musk publicly reversed her decision on censoring Matt Walsh's "What is a Woman?" film. And the head of Brand Safety.

The Daily Wail claims the ad revenue in April was $88 million. If that continues at that level for twelve months it will just about cover the interest payments on Twitter's debt.

Should we run a sweepstake on how many weeks Yaccarino lasts? I give her four.
