On this week’s episode, the Three Cartoon Avatars explore how Twitter came to be, and how it ended up where it is today! Plus why Elon Musk might have bought in, and what it could mean for the future. Plus a sad end for Fast and an incredible number of bad takes as a result!

(11:54) - History of Twitter runs deep and sometimes stupid
(16:40) - Twitter’s current role/issues, and there are a lot
(35:54) - Fast shuts down and the schadenfreude gets intense
