* Noah Smith on Twitter seems to be unusually cranky and coming out with some very dubious takes at the moment. Holidaying doesn't seem to do him any good.
* Elon Musk is being nearly universally derided by "blue tick" people at Twitter over his plan to charge them for the privilege. Once again, we have the puzzle - just how smart is this guy? It's pretty clear he has a modest amount of emotional intelligence and a fragile ego (the "pedo" insult for someone rejecting his impractical idea sealed that forever), but in terms of engineering and other problems, is he really just a hyped up latter day monorail salesman who got lucky? That's pretty much the vibe he gives me.
* Everyone on Twitter is also puzzling still about the lack of a convenient and appropriate replacement. Surely it will arise soon, though.
