Sunday Morning Reading

On Lake Time this weekend so a smaller edition of Sunday Morning Reading to share. 

First up are two articles about the recent launch of Threads and the continued demise of Twitter. It’s all a bit nuts in the social media-verse. But to be honest, it’s also all a bit fun. Too early to tell how this shakes out. 

First up Taylor Lorenz talks about How Twitter Lost It’s Place As The Global Town Square. Good piece. I’m not a fan of the “global town square” analogy. It’s a clever bit of spin. Nothing more.

Eugene Wei offers a terrffic long read on this whole thing entitled How to Blow Up a Timeline.Highly recommended reading.

And a depressing piece if you’re of the theatre or enjoy the theatre, but it is where we are. Peter Marks takes on the challenging moment many theatres find themselves in currently in Theater Is In Freefall, And The Pandemic Isn’t The Only Thing to Blame.
