By the way, I never felt quite as gratified as seeing Gregg promote Pitch Meetings. It's one of my favorite channels, and the TMQ endorsement is as good as gold.

As usual, interesting and insightful thoughts from Mr Easterbrook. I would add that Twitter encourages over-simplification with its character-limit. Real life and real problems are complex and deserve nuanced treatment not easily achieved in a short tweet.

I’m grateful that Easterbrook is on Substack now, especially because it allows for more robust writing (but also in case Twitter indeed shuts it all down). Thank you!

I'm trying to square a statement.

It seemed that Trump, while President, primarily stoked the fires of his base's passion via tweet. If his base is largely non-coastal elites, wouldn't that contradict the premise that only coastal elites will care if Twitter dies?
