Coastin contributing opinion rider to the New York Times and on-air

contributor to CNN. Jane, thanks for doing this.

Thanks so much for having me, Tim.

I'm so excited.

It's funny because we have not yet seen each other in Los Angeles,

the place where we reportedly both are often.

Our fellowing.

Yeah, well hopefully it will happen.

Hopefully it will happen in March.

You're on a Lenten Twitter hiatus.

Tell me about that.

I take a break every year from Twitter because I feel like it constricts your mind in such a way that it's really good to take 40 days and just be like let's see what other people are doing and it's wild to me how little my life

actually changes I used to tell someone that like the trick to Twitter is to only tweet

10% of the things you think you want to

tweet. Oh, that's the trick.

And it's even better if you just like don't say anything at all for a long period of time.

You know how many times there is this thing on Twitter and then you try to explain it to someone who's not on Twitter and you're like, this is just stupid?

It's nice to not do that. It's nice to not have a like, what is happening? Who is this person? why are we all yelling at this one person?

Because especially now that Twitter has been gamified to such an extent,

like so much of it is like you have a blue checkmark verification and all you're just saying is stuff to drive engagement so people yell at you and you make money.
