It's tough to be properly nuanced and specific in a tweet. "I've never read a business plan , but I ask all the big questions that should be answered in a business plan." Just isn't pithy for a tweet.
Honestly Twitter is a terrible idea in most cases that just leads to people shouting at each other - because 140 characters isn't enough to communicate anything in a balanced way.
- ImaCake 5y agoYeah politics on twitter is awful. For outsiders like me it is often hard to even understand what a popular political tweet is even about. Twitter is good for pictures of nature though. And somehow a great deal of decent scientific discourse goes on twitter without descending into the crap that political twitter does.

- ImaCake 5y agoI am just not engaged enough in day-to-day politics to know about the Issue of Day. So when people make angry quips about it, and can't fit a multi-paragraph explainer into it, I can't make any sense of their tweets. I find politics is best learnt from history books. There isn't that much about today's politics you can't learn from 19th-21st Century history books.
