Can I submit, very much tied to "SJW Radio Is Not Working," that "Radio About Twitter Is Not Working"? I'm listening with one ear to Julie and Baffoe and a good deal of it was complaining about people tweeting at them. This has been the bread and butter of Bernstein's shows for years. I even listened to the Committed Indian's podcast today and not only do they whine about everyone who is mean to them on Twitter, they fixate on the people who are nice to them on Twitter.

The truth is that nobody is on Twitter. Most people don't use it at all. Many of its users only lurk. Something like 10% of its users generate 90% of its content. It's just not important to most people.

I know it's going to go unnoticed by the people at 670 who should be paying attention, but you would think this type of trend would cause a program director who cares about his job to pull his hosts aside and see if they could perhaps try something else.

I am not saying he does not care about his job. What I do feel quite strongly about, though, is he has no worries at all about his job security.

Twitter allows losers the ability to do "high school" all over again, this time perhaps as a member of a cool clique and with greater status than they might ever achieve anywhere else in the form of the precious blue check mark.

Twitter is just where they get their strawmen from. If it wasn't "people on Twitter are saying..." it'd be some other nebulous enemy that they feel they need to crusade against.

That's how some 4chan troll can tweet "gas the kikes race war now" over and over again until it eventually catches somebodies attention, follow that chain reaction far enough and a presidential candidate is calling people deplorable and blowing a seemingly slam-dunk. DiCaro, Bernstein and the whole lot of them are too stupid or too arrogant to realize Twitter is not home turf for them.

Well, if it's anyone's, Twitter is the home turf of journalists -- real ones, not Julie DiCaro ones -- who are most easily rattled by 4chan scum.

This thread is like angry white people catnip.

For all that I rip on Dan Bernstein, he at least knows how to use Twitter without getting rattled. He should honestly teach that skill to his coworkers.

I am not sure what the wrap is but this piece claims Wall St. not happy with Twitter either. Can't figure out how to make money. Advertisers say their ads are useless pretty much. Anyway, I hope it goes away for a number of reasons.

He isn't as enthusiastic about it as he once was. He used to say Twitter made going to games obsolete, which is a surprising take for me. I've never been at the game and heard people complain about pronouns, ask about jet fuel melting steel beams or just blame Jews for everything wrong in their lives (to be fair I haven't been to a Bears game since 2007). A lot of people are just sick of it, and now its en vouge among the woke to publicly announce their retirement, or at least a "stepping away", from tweeting.

What reasons?

I don't get the Twitter hate.

Yeah. You tell those stupid 815 texters. Piling on them everyday is great radio.

All the usual suspects have chimed in, so I'm not wrong here.

The classic tactic when you don't have anything to support your argument, just declare everyone against you a racist. Works everytime! It's the new Godwin

I called nobody a racist. You're wrong again.
