“Reality is chaos, and we’ve created an algorithm that keeps us informed of as much of that chaos as possible, from the second we wake up to the second we go to bed, and then we wonder why we’re anxious.”
― Matty Healy

“When women ask me what I do for a living, I’m going to tell them I earn money the old-fashioned way. Then I’ll go on to explain that I somehow managed to get my name added to an African Charity list, and generous Americans donate eight dollars a month so that I can afford to feed myself, but that I spend it all on my new Twitter blue check.”
― Jarod Kintz, Don't Even Get Me Started On The Beastie Boys

“People could look like anything. Any person with a phone managed their identity through a selection of photos whose appearances were impractical to debunk. One could reap the impression of a character if they pleased. People could post to appear like-minded, tough, the best, smart, creative, melancholy, and rich regardless of their actual state. A profile was a catalog of identity theft: books made one dreamy. Luxury made one wanted. Art made one complex. Travel made one busy. And minimalism made a person seem above it all.

And the pursuit of this fraud only produced further unhappiness. Users�� contributions to the internet proceeded to tell the world that they were content and did not need love, while the very act of posting such a statement said that they were unhappy and indeed in need of love.”
― Karl Kristian Flores, A Happy Ghost

“You scroll through a window of coffins. Think about it, each person fits in a 1080 x 1080 frame. It feels like a digital coffin to me. And don’t get me started on hashtags. They are like prison bars, locking in ideas behind a tag that loses is relevant until only the next inmate walks in.”
― Soroosh Shahrivar, Tajrish

“You often hear people say the news is full of lies. But most of the time that’s not exactly right. Much of what you see on television or read in The New York Times is in fact true in the literal sense, But that doesn’t make it true. It’s not true. At the most basic level, the news you consume is a lie. A lie of the stealthiest and most insidious kind. Facts have been withheld on purpose along with proportion and perspective. You are being manipulated.”
― Tucker Carlson

“After more than 30 years in the middle of it, we could tell you stories. The best you can hope for in the news business at this point is the freedom to tell the fullest truth that you can. But there are always limits. And you know that if you bump up against those limits often enough, you will be fired for it”
― Tucker Carlson

“Amazingly, as of tonight, there aren’t many platforms left that allow free speech. The last big one remaining in the world, the only one, is Twitter, where we are now. Twitter has long served as the place where our national conversation incubates and develops. Twitter is not a partisan site �� everybody’s allowed here, and we think that’s a good thing. And yet, for the most part the news you see analyzed on Twitter comes from media organizations that are themselves thinly disguised propaganda outlets. You see it on cable news, you talk about it on Twitter. The result may feel like a debate but actually the gatekeepers are still in charge. We think that’s a bad system. Starting soon, we’ll be bringing a new version of the show we’ve been doing for the last six-and-a-half years to Twitter.”
― Tucker Carlson

“Let’s cancel the idea that Serious, Realistic stories are the only kind of stories worth making. The soul is nourished by the magic of a Miyazaki film or a wonderful kid’s book. I want to gawk in wonder as I read or watch a thing; I want to ache with joy.”
― SketchesbyBoze

“If you are complaining about the maximum amount of tweets allowed per day, now at 300... the problem might be with you, your messaging, marketing and what ever you are promoting; not Twitter.”

“Twitter and Social media are 1,000 times more dangerous than Radio Rwanda. This is the world's biggest and only Propaganda tool for fascism and hatred politics. Billions of people are wasting their time there, and in return, it's making them violent, filling their hearts with hatred and their minds with irrational fake information. And forcefully turning them into political slaves.”
― Mohammed Zaki Ansari, "Zaki's Gift Of Love"

“Elon Musk has the X factor. He doesn’t tweet much; he acts. That’s why he bought Twitter - just to free the caged bird, so it could return to the wild and tweet on.”
― Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

“I tag many figures, but impressions stay zero or a few. It verifies that evil-minded people execute mutations against my posts. I complained about it several times, but only LinkedIn eliminated such cases, whereas Twitter and Facebook failed.”

“I imagined an Instagram filter of Cartagena, a 140-character version, a status update, a quip, a bite, a piece, all of which I would learn were too small to capture the reality I was about to encounter.”

“A surprisingly good heuristic for "how outlier-y/crappy is my data":

- N is number of datapoints.
- Sort your data.
- Get rid of the first and last k * sqrt(N) points.

For what value of k does the data start to look "sensible"?

k < 0.3: pretty good data
k > 3: pretty bad data”
― Agustin Lebron
