@JoannaStern @NewsLitProject Thanks. Social Security is reputedly going bankrupt. — PolitiTweet.org

@asoukuptx @themoko Depends what you mean by “tech”. Microsoft took a constant beating in the press for years. Journalists always predicted Apple was doomed. In my case, as a tech product reviewer, I wrote many negative reviews of individual products, along with positive ones. — PolitiTweet.org

@bluewater_61 Thx — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@themoko You and @nataliekerris and some others I could name understood this situation very well. You were honest. You were helpful when possible. And you understood both journalism and business. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@themoko There are bad journos and bad tech CEOs too. It is important to cover both the big guys & unknown startups. I always did. The best current tech journos do too. But, even years ago, VCs often hated journalism and felt their companies had a God-given right to favorable coverage. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m no retirement expert, but I do have one tip given me by a career coach: don’t retire just to do nothing. Have a post-retirement identity ready. That doesn’t mean a full-time, paying job (then you’re not really retired), but it should be something meaningful or challenging. — PolitiTweet.org

@eschuman @NewsLitProject For a journalist like you, one big help would be to participate in our Newsroom to Classroom program, described here: https://t.co/ppadTnzBLZ — PolitiTweet.org

Some personal news: Today is the third anniversary of my official retirement. It’s been great, with a good balance between staying busy and chilling out. A big factor has been devoting more time to, and playing a bigger role in, the ⁦vital, non-profit @NewsLitProject⁩. https://t.co/K7od4EQeoP — PolitiTweet.org

@susanthesquark Okay, it’s been about an hour. Start typing the secret! — PolitiTweet.org

@TaylorLorenz @pdavison What you report is going on is disgusting and reflects ignorance & arrogance. My job differed from yours in type and era, but I found a similar attitude among some investors even years ago. I generally avoided VCs, and was able to do so because my focus was products, not money. — PolitiTweet.org

@patricknward @HamiltonMusical I don’t dispute your military analysis. But I was talking about political sentiment at the key political moment. My comment really had nothing to do with military matters. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

I loved seeing @HamiltonMusical live and will be streaming it. I admire Hamilton & NY patriots. But NYC was no rebel hotbed. In fact, it was the British HQ in America, & the main Tory haven. It was also the last colony to vote for independence. See this: https://t.co/MyOpIqsOEd — PolitiTweet.org

@benyankee I’m sure. It’s wildly irresponsible and nothing but greed. — PolitiTweet.org

@PoweredbyBMW @netflix @pkafka @ranimolla I urge you to listen to the podcast. — PolitiTweet.org

This podcast about how Blockbuster died while fighting ⁦@netflix⁩ is less obvious and more fascinating than you’d imagine. #Landofthegiants by ⁦@pkafka⁩ & ⁦@ranimolla⁩ continues to be great! https://t.co/LIDdgFUAXw — PolitiTweet.org

The sober decision to make America independent, as depicted in the @HBO mini-series “John Adams”. https://t.co/MyOpIqsOEd — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@JMarcus93 @brfreemont The July 2nd adoption is true. That’s when independence was adopted. The final wording was ratified on the 4th. But that’s not why I wished everyone a Happy Independence Day today. It’s just that people tend to make a multi-day holiday out of it. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

In this same room in Philadelphia, in the late 1700’s, both the U.S. Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution were debated, written and adopted over a period of about 11 years. It was one of the greatest series of events in world history. Happy Independence Day! https://t.co/daEtpD5xBe — PolitiTweet.org

@reckless @cgartenberg The examples here are almost all of a certain subset of streaming services - those that include live content and which are essentially cable systems delivered over IP. Prices and price increases for popular streamers like regular Hulu, Netflix, Disney+, etc. aren’t near this. — PolitiTweet.org
