Solid list! I'd throw in @LMSacasas for the most calm and considered takes on how technology shapes our world that I've seen. He also doesn't tweet a ton relative to others so it's not overwhelming to add him to the list.

Just now reacquainting myself with twitter after arguably making a career out of it around 2013ish, then ditching said career -- not sure if I'm enjoying what it's become. Finding value as I go along though, and fully appreciate this list.

Adam Tooze is the person I've listened to speak who knows the most about the thing they know about.
