He didn’t launch a competitor, but Zuckerberg approved the blocking of Vine’s API access to find Facebook friends a few days after it launched.

TikTok must have paid a pretty penny to have access to it today.

Columbia also has the School of General Studies for non-traditional undergraduate students. Tuition is $58,440 an academic year, not including their estimated $26,010 cost of living, and they don’t offer much financial aid.

My biggest issue with Twitter these days is that my curated social garden keeps being invaded by engagement farmers who use the thread feature to post obnoxious listicles. I’m constantly being recommended tweets like these in my feed:

“I hunted, killed, and ate a wild baboon (brains and all)…Here are the 13 things I learned about human health along the way.”

“I read all 40,000 words from Jeff Bezos' Amazon shareholder letters. Here are 9 lessons worth your time:”

“We keep seeing the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. This is a feature of the system, not a bug. Time for a thread”

They remind me of Buzzfeed articles back in the early 2010s and there’s no way to turn it off besides muting the word thread and its emoji.
