The only reason I was able to stay on Twitter as long as I did is because I was able to block people that would routinely attack me for my identity. When I finally deleted my account in December, I had 275k accounts blocked. I know most of my friends still on there rely on that functionality to be able to keep using the site at all.

the amazing thing is - unlike say, when apple announces new tech - none of those are real products. and the article points out how old the set of tesla cars are and how unusual that is for the car industry.

Luckily, they do have torque in their favour to make spinning their wheels easier.
