+Well... this sucks, right? Nearly 88% of the company has left, through a
+combination of layoffs, firings, and folks deciding they've had enough. I'm
+deeply worried for the people who find themselves stuck there due to visa
+requirements. It must be a very scary situation to be in.
+
+A lot of folks seem to believe the end of Twitter is approaching. The last few
+days have been full of reminiscing and sharing memes about the fall. Go out like
+as we lived, huh?
+
+I created my first Twitter account in 2008 or so. A college friend of mine
+bugged me for weeks make an account on this new social media site, presumably so
+we could talk about what we had for lunch? I didn't get it. He did eventually
+persuade me though, and Twitter has been a big part of my life ever since.
