20 years ago today, Jack Dorsey posted the first tweet. A lot has happened since then, and Twitter isn't really Twitter anymore, literally and figuratively. That's why we created an archive to preserve the funniest, weirdest, and most memorable tweets in the site's tumultuous history.

You know the Kristi Noem goodbye party will have costume changes. It will only cost the taxpayers $400 million. A puppy will be sacrificed.

A week or so ago @theverge.com published an incredible comics-essay about Danny Fenster, who was locked up in a Burmese prison in 2021. Danny was also my student in another lifetime. I wrote a short piece about this extraordinary piece of journalism. dansinker.com/posts/2026-0...

NEW: Amid the Anthropic-Pentagon situation, all week, I've been speaking to employees at OpenAI, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and more companies, who have expressed similar feelings about the changing moral landscapes internally. Here's what's going on. (Gift link) www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Please do not let Will’s tantrum over getting the attention he wanted distract you from the amazing Minneapolis coverage Gaby has been producing all month (all while also writing a book because she’s just that good)

the phil spencer story is interesting bc internally at Microsoft he was probably, maybe, a champion of the gaming division but publicly? oversaw a decade of pretty complete failure. blew an impressive lead and got lapped, multiple times
