@skry Thank you very much! I will try to get added to the list. What a great resource!

@tchambers Hi Tim! I hope you are well. @skry showed me your journalist list, but when I tried to follow the link in the spreadsheet to request being added, it says "Dynamic Link Not Found." Can you help me with this? Thank you very much!

@megmaker Thank you Meg!!! :D

@atomicpoet It was a stroke of genius on Jack's part, because Twitter was always (and remains) a minor social media company, globally. But by giving journalists a level of prestige equal to Barack Obama or Kristen Bell or LeBron James, we were more likely to congregate there, and thus more likely to cover its goings-on. It felt glamorous!

I mean, 3 billion people use Facebook—THAT is where the cultural zeitgeist can be found—but when is the last time you saw real coverage of Facebook from the inside (i.e. as a user), versus it being covered as this weird alien thing?

@atomicpoet I don't have anything against Post, but the site is a ghost town relative to Mastodon. I joined it specifically because other journalists were. But even they aren't posting there because, let's face it: One reason the "blue check" was such a big deal on early Twitter was that journalists enjoyed being "regarded." And if no one is there to regard you... well, journalists talking to other journalists is just Slack.

@parlehaakon Thank you very much!

@Lisa_Strong Thank you :) Here is a link to the Antarctica story — a lot of this will be covered in the book, though the book covers much more than my time there. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/11/28/journey-to-the-doomsday-glacier

@emarktaylor @voron Wow! Awesome! Thank you very much!!

@dwarmstrong Thank you very much! The story behind the subtitle is that I *really* didn’t want a subtitle. But I was sort of strong armed into it, so I said fine. You want a subtitle, I’ll give you one!
