The Twitter thing is wild (literally and) in that it is the parsing of messages from competing, some intentionally deceptive, lots of noise, but all together come together into something - - even the noise of babblers, panic, trolling and misinformation is like EVP. Made me think of an almost impenetrable code to use Twitter against background noise: messages split across hundreds of thousands of accounts that will only make sense if read in a very particular sequence. Of course, maybe that's what's happening anyway.
Agh, I think I just spawned a Qabbalistic Twitter Cult in my head.
Not to make light of people being hurt on the ground though, so: Saw this in a friend's Twitter :
