Huge problem with meaningful discourse on Twitter: You have 280 chars to make your point. Anything non-trivial requires a huge amount of unspoken context & assumed shared knowledge. BUT we don't all share context & knowledge. Miscommunication & conflict is inevitable.

If 5 people a day were killed by trains or airplanes, would we call a campaign to make them safer a "war on train drivers or pilots"? 20mph is only being set in built up areas where people mix with motors. #20splenty where people live, work, play, shop and learn

25 years ago, I composed the BBC News (UK) Theme Tune, which is broadcast around the world everyday. From the precise beeps of time to the powerful bass and dramatic drums for the headlines. This how I did it… #BBC #BBCNewsThemeTune #MusicProduction #Composer #SoundDesign #25Years

every few days people invent some new media personality with millions of subscribers and then swear up and down it's always existed and you're the weird one for not knowing about it where's the spawning vat?
