Twitter is a place where it does just tend to send it to kind of mob mentality, dunking, resharing. It's really bad. And if I wasn't so addicted to it, I would have probably cut myself off a long time ago. There are some fascinating conversations going on between scientists on Twitter right now. They're really interesting people that 10 years ago, you and I would never have been able to connect. The investigative journalism that our media still does is the gold standard.
Kara and Scott discuss Tesla’s “Master Plan 3,” and TikTok's new time limits. Also, the world of Twitter competitors is growing with Jack Dorsey’s new app Bluesky joining the ranks. Plus, the COVID-19 lab leak theory got a heated boost this week. Friend of Pivot Mehdi Hasan joins to help us definitively decide whether or not Kara’s Chevy Bolt is sexy.
You can find Mehdi on Twitter at @mehdirhasan, and you can find his book “Win Every Argument The Art of Debating, Persuading, and Public Speaking” here.
