It can be helpful for live updates on news (say you're following a hurricane or the capitol riot at the time, live) or if you want to drop into the zeitgeist. If you're interested in a specific vertical or topic it's a good resource for the latest about that and for people's commentary on that news and topic.

You have to use it as a tool and get a specific use out of it - agree with following events live and seeing people positing live footage from the scene etc. I also think it's a helpful place to aggregate news. So you can follow a ton of different news outlets and see different headlines they're posting. And you can read the different angles that they're all taking/get more perspectives, plus get news just about the things you care about by getting more segmented. And see what the latest headlines are...the interface is much better than googling an event. Plus, a news outlet might post updates about what's happening live/break a story before they get time to write an article - so you'll be able to follow it faster.

I like it because I follow a lot of people who are much funnier than I am about current events but yeah there is a lot of pretentious virtuing and “actually...” retorting and cringy tweets that start off with “important to remember that....”

Clarivate Analytics why is the interview process so incredibly long?
First the recruiter took days to reply to her initial set up for a phone interview, made me do an assessment, waited a few days to hear back after she told me I passed, then scheduled a prep call and had me waiting for over 30 mins and cancelled on me. Then did two more interview and it’s been 2 weeks since I’ve heard back. I sent a follow up email today and waiting for a reply. This is crazy!

I got an offer for a 3-mo contingent role at Meta as a CSM that pays more than double what I make now.

The pay rate makes it hard (if not impossible) to say no - but I'm apprehensive about accepting a contract offer, especially one that's only 3-months  ending on Jan 2.

Obviously, I'm already thinking about what I'd do next. I'd love to stay in tech. Just curious if anyone has experience with a short-term contract & what the job-search process looks like during/after the contract expires.

Career advice needed: I'm at $140K per year and have 40% equity in a company. I will only get the remaining 60% equity if our company is bought or goes public. But I can walk away now and keep my 40% equity.
I got approached by a competitor who will pay me $186K per year (so more than a 30% increase) and will also offer me equity that won't fully vest for 4 years (so essentially 25% year 1, 25% year 2, etc.). I won't get any actual money from this equity unless they are bought/go public.
