In the same way that a child tumbling down a hill is an Olympic gymnast.

The only people who think that Twitter matters are on Twitter, it’s less of an Olympic competition and more of an asylum for the terminally dim.

I'm saying that right now, certain high-profile idiots are making it matter by definition. Once they stop using Twitter for that, then it'll stop mattering again.

The high profile idiots might matter, their participation on Twitter doesn’t.

Twitter isn’t the active ingredient.

		They would literally announce new decisions on Twitter before anywhere else. High-impact political decisions and international decisions. You would be a fool to ignore it just because of the platform. You'd die on that hill. > Twitter isn’t the active ingredient. The idiots aren't an active ingredient either. Russia and Iran could have used any puppets. These ones just happen to also twitch like a frog leg.
