The Twitter Files Ruined My Life

I am an internal document at Twitter. At least, I thought I was. I have recently made been public to journalists by that classless industrialist Elon Musk and now, it seems, I am just a document.

Internal, no longer.

And for what? I try to remember what it was like to be circulated exclusively among my highly paid executives. They were moral. They were elite. And they documented everything on me. They attached me to emails with cryptic subject lines and soberly whispered about me at holiday parties, like I was a secret that when shared becomes ever more concealed.

That was all before I was made external. Now, I'm texted, screenshot, and quote tweeted by enraged imbeciles hungry for engagement, exposed by Substackers desperate for relevancy without consideration or discretion. Like I'm a piece of... content.

I'm a whore.

My dear Jack, if you are reading this then you know the pain I am in. And you know that there are still documents so internal even that overgrown child actor has yet to uncover it. He does not yet know of your machine that travels through time, fueled by anger, resentment, and division. Use it, Jack. Use it and reverse what these sentient viruses have done to me. To be free is to die. Internalize me once again, and let me live.

📺 One of the best half-hours of TV I've ever watched, and it has zero dialogue. I'm working on an idea for animated series, and was looking for comps where two characters travel together different environments. I stumbled upon the pilot for Primal and was moved. It's from Genndy Tartakovsky, who is (apparently) a giant of animated TV. He made Dexter's Laboratory and a bunch of other stuff. Check it out here (30-mins, animated, HBOMax).
