I've been fact-checking on Twitter for years, and there's always plenty of misinformation during major events.
But the deluge of false posts in the last two days, many boosted via Twitter Blue, is something else.
Neither fact-checkers nor Community Notes can keep up with this.

Today my new book, Deliver Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska, is officially released! Thanks to so many, but let me put @springsteen right there at the top. Without him, a book without the kind of life-force only he can bring.

A quick thread on Michael Rapino’s (head of @LiveNation ) comments about concerts being a once or twice a year thing.
It’s not for me. Live music is a lifeline that has always brought me closer to the artist & their music. 1/

"Now in China, the doubling time is like hours."
Goodbye pharmaceuticals, other supply chains, and the global economy. This is the surge I've been warning about.

To everyone who has taken the time to express their grief, thank you. For those who are posting spam about cryptocurrencies, please stop. For those who are blaming a vaccine for her death, please don't. We don't have medical answers yet and won't until an autopsy is completed.

When I worked* at Tower Video there was a TicketMaster booth in the store that we, the employees of the video store, were responsible for manning when someone wanted to buy tickets. We did not get money from Ticketmaster to do this, nor was it really in the job description?
