@semaforben @katienotopoulos No it’s me, Ben Smith

Just remembered that @katienotopoulos hijacked my old Twitter handle when I left buzzfeed

Steal my book. Information wants to be free. No paywalls

@semaforben @lionel_trolling @semafor @bensmith I’ll take 8,000 words, thanks

Men will literally start a global news operation catering to the 200 million college educated English speakers worldwide rather than go to therapy

Thank you, famous birthdays. I’m famous, and it’s my birthday

Anyone got any gossip?

My advice? Tweet as much as humanly possible. Tweet so much you get carpal tunnel and find yourself thinking “that’s a good tweet” when something amusing happens. Tweet on the toilet, tweet from bed, if you don’t have a second monitor devoted to Twitter just quit your job.

I heard it’s cool here to wear your ID lanyard inside all day

@benyt Let me check… hmm ok yeah it says here you have a hair appointment at SuperCuts to get frosted tips this afternoon at 3pm. Don’t forget! I’m sure you’ll want to make a good impression on your new coworkers and look your best at your new job :)

This is such an old way to use Twitter but ... I deleted my calendar between jobs, and if we have plans ... please remind me.... (*ducks*) cc @buzzfeedben

@peretti @benyt I hear the NYTimes makes money by having a paywall, but this content just wants to be free, so here it is

This article was reported out last week when ⁦@benyt⁩ was still on BuzzFeed payroll. Usually we only provide free content to Facebook and Google 🤷‍♂️ nytimes.com/2020/03/01/bus…

Sigh

The “Be” in “Be NYT” stands for BTS

Many of you are wondering what my first column on media will be. Well, my first - and all subsequent columns - will be focused on the most powerful force on the internet: the #BTSARMY
