I've been spending too much time on Twitter. I've learned a lot and met some incredible people, but I've neglected other aspects of my life. I've been abstaining on Sundays, but that is not sufficient. I plan to spend less time here. This article is good.

ALT Final two paragraphs from the linked article by Caitlin Flanagan in The Atlantic.
"Twitter is a parasite that burrows deep into your brain, training you to respond to the constant social feedback of likes and retweets. That takes only a week or two. Human psychology is pathetically simple to manipulate. Once you’re hooked, the parasite becomes your master, and it changes the way you think. Even now, I’m dopesick, dying to go back.
Twitter did something that I would not have thought possible: It stole reading from me. What is it stealing from you?"
