  This is what my Twitter experience looked like on Wednesday night:I knew something was wrong, as I follow less than 100 people. I didn’t think one more was excessive.
  I was unable to tweet, yet a Google search didn’t indicate that Twitter was down.
  It was, of course — in what has become a far more regular occurrence in the Elon Musk Twitter era — a Twitter system glitch.

  If you haven’t been paying attention to the beleaguered CNN lately, first of all, good for you.
  Second of all, you should really start paying attention.
