    I had been working on my plans where I'd work decentralized, as my team and I do when we travel, but in light of COVID-19 and everything else going on I need to reevaluate. Either way we'll continue to pursue opportunities in Africa.

    When I tweeted about my intention to spend a few months in Africa this year, I made a mistake and should have provided more context about why.

    Twitter's opening salvo in the effort to push back an activist investor today had a real whistling-past-the-graveyard vibe https://www.getrevue.co/... https://twitter.com/...

    Think California might have as much coronavirus, if not more, than does Africa. This is about the activists. https://twitter.com/...

    Here's my line-by-line rebuttal of Jack Dorsey's subtweeted reasons he should still be CEO. 1. Twitter still doesn't label misinformation 3yrs after Fb started to https://techcrunch.com/...

    Just an aside, but this picture reminds me I really have enjoyed @jack's star turn as Narek on Picard. https://twitter.com/...

    Probably wise at this point, but Africa is a huge op for Twitter and for tech communications and enterprise tech cos. Nigeria and Kenya for sure but also a lot more hot spots. Not sure where it will coalesce but It's going to boom soon. One of TCs biggest international audiences.…

    Africa will be one of the most populated continents in the next 20-30 yrs, the tech innovation is incredible w/ a large portion of the population still coming onto the internet. Huge opportunity especially for young people to join Twitter + for us to learn to best serve them.

    Running Twitter is no sidehustle. The app is a fundamental communications utility Jack has failed to safeguard. Maybe corporate raiders could actually do better. Here's my full post on why: https://techcrunch.com/...
