"This is my circus and my monkeys, however, so expect shorter and quicker entries — ideas longer than a tweet but lacking the occasionally excessive windups that my Spoiler Alerts columns had."
That's the part of the blogosphere that really missed out: post sizes largers than the Twitter character limit and smaller than a full-length piece (whatever that is - 800 words?). Twitter org has refused to get that, and so it's all fountains of hostility because nasty insults can easily be delivered inside the Twitter length limit, unlike a reasonable thought.
"The circle is now complete."
I believe it's been ...16? years since I left comments on the Drenzer blog.

hi!
I'm so glad to follow you here. I was really disappointed when your PostEverything gig ended and I missed catching up on your thoughts.
As we say in Australia, "Good on ya!"
I've been following you since the days of the original blog. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do here.
One suggestion: bring back the Drezner Gets Results posts; I always got a kick out of those.
Welcome!
Congrats! I, for one, welcome our new zombie blogger overlord!
