Twitter Users Statistics – Key Data for 2026 Twitter Marketing For the past 30 years, I have been sharing my ideas on investing, markets, the economy, policy, and related topics. Online, in public, no hold barred; writing for a broad audience invites comments, criticism, and general interaction. So it was no surprise that when Twitter came along, I jumped in (Thanks, Howard!). It was an amazing technology that gave you access to awesome people you otherwise would not have met; it enabled cool interactions with readers. It became a community of like-minded individuals across a variety of topics. For me, this included everything from markets and investing, economic analysis, and behavioral finance to cosmology and collectible cars. Before Chart Kid Matt, many of the most-liked charts seen on The Big Picture were originally found on Twitter. I hadn’t noticed the slow bleed on the site until I was hacked in July 2023. Someone took control of the account until Bloomberg helped me get it back 3 months later. The site had changed so radically that I didn’t recognize it.1 My partner Josh, always ahead of the curve, saw the writing on the wall and tapped out in 2020. Trying to

If you’ve been trying to use the Twitter/X app on Android lately, you’ve probably noticed a whole host of issues. Thankfully, a fix is coming soon. Over the past few days, the Twitter/X app for Android has been left with some of its core functions inoperable. Opening links either pops up a menu to choose between two Twitter/X apps, or the link itself just doesn’t open up. Instead, you’re just met with your main feed. This is a widespread issue, and it has a big impact on the app. Trying to open links or embeds from websites in the Twitter/X app never opens the actual content, and the same occurs with notifications. If you tap on a notification from the app, the app simply opens without directing itself to whatever the notification was for. The Head of product at Twitter/X joked that the app is “on fire” and, yeah, that sums it up nicely. Thankfully, a fix is in the works. Arkadii Ivanov, a Twitter/X employee working on the Android app, says “a fix will be rolling out soon.” Some claim the latest update fixes the problem.

Twitter may have seen a mass exodus of celebrities when Elon Musk took over the social media platform a few years ago, but Henry Winkler is among the few that remain. And, according to the actor, he actually does still like it — well, at least “the good parts” of it. During the actor’s on “Late Night” on Monday night in support of his show “Hazardous History With Henry Winkler,” host Seth Meyers called out a delightful interaction Winkler recently had on the social media platform, in which he joked with a fan that he also waited for the “Happy Days” cliffhanger of Fonzi jumping a shark. “Well, you know what? I like the good parts of Twitter,” Winkler replied. “I still do. I call it Twitter.” Meyers quickly agreed that, before Musk took over, the platform was legitimately fun, and “a really nice way to interact and engage with people.” At that, Winkler noted that he’s also figured out something about the less fun pieces of it. “And recently, all of those people throwing shade at me, I look them up,” he explained. “And they have like, four followers. They’re a bot!” The irony is, when Musk took over

(KNSI) – A 24-year-old Waite Park man is in custody after a shooting in Sartell Sunday morning and a brief manhunt. Sartell Public Safety Director Brandon Silgjord said Jakob Dylan Mohr turned himself in voluntarily and was taken into custody at around 11:50 a.m. Investigators had been searching for Mohr since earlier in the morning, when they say he fired multiple shots at another driver and then fled the scene. According to Silgjord, the Sartell Police Department responded to a report from a man who said he had been shot while driving. The victim told officers he had been traveling through St. Cloud when he noticed a vehicle following him closely and driving aggressively. Both vehicles continued northbound on Highway 15 out of St. Cloud before the victim exited onto County Road 120 in an attempt to get away. Near Sam’s Club, the suspect vehicle pulled alongside the victim’s car, and the driver fired multiple shots. One round struck the victim, who was able to call 911 after the suspect fled. The victim is being treated for his injuries and is expected to survive. Investigators later located the suspect vehicle at a bar in Sauk Rapids, though Mohr was not
