Sorry about that.) On Saturday, September 4th, I scheduled a Twitter Space entitled " How to Explain iOS 15 to Your Mom " a few hours in advance, not necessarily expecting any speakers or guests to show up, but an old friend and two new ones did! They indulged me for a near-2 hour conversation about a whole lot and I really appreciate it.

Blocked by Kara Swisher , which was only resolved thanks to (yet again) Casey Newton “ 3 Reasons Your Twitter Follower Ratio Is More Important Than You Know | Inc.com ” If you follow more people than follow you, what you are in essence saying to that person is "I followed all these people, but only some of them found me interesting enough to follow me back." Not only that, but you are also saying "Yes, I may have recently followed you, but don't take it too personally, I like to follow a lot of people, so really, the fact that I cared enough to follow you doesn't mean I am genuinely interested in what you have to say." Not doing great on the first impression scale... "Every social media platform has limits." https://twitter.com/NeoYokel/status/1357997726437412...
