If you care about ideas, read this brilliantly written essay about the "stifling orthodoxy" that Twitter mobs impose, and the effect it has had on writing.
A writer who’s afraid to tell people what they don’t want to hear has chosen the wrong trade.

Twitter mobs might just be an early form of "free market justice" by which a society can enforce social norms rather than enforce w/ laws (a plus). Like many early markets it is quite inefficient, but as participants we collectively decide the equilibrium.

Consider the idea that, contra this article, social media virality incentivizes editors to publish articles that ”detonate an explosion on social media.” The writer‘a own incentives are mixed, but publications have every reason to publish controversies, to a point.

Mostly I censor my tweeting because of future employers or clients. I probably don’t censor myself enough.

"What I can say is that we need good writing as much as ever, if not more. It’s essential to democracy, and one dies with the other."

Excellent read. "I mean that writers are now expected to identify with a community and to write as its representatives. In a way, this is the opposite of writing to reach other people."
