Do you think being on Twitter today is what it felt like being in Rome in the last days before Alaric showed up?
@benjaminwittes Maybe Ravenna before Theoderic won. We still can look forward to internal skullduggery like assassination at the victory feast and sending the imperial regalia back to Constantinople.
@nadezhda04 @benjaminwittes where are we sending the imperial regalia in this s metaphor?
@mcneely @benjaminwittes Currently I suppose that would be TikTok. But low confidence level they’ll survive another millennium.
Or we could send them to Zuck’s Metaverse where they’ll float in eternal virtual reality. One pro consideration, the regalia don’t need legs
