Tweets of the Day.

Self explanatory. Funny is encouraged, but I put this in GD, not the Lounge, so that seriousness and profundity may be pursued also.

If someone wants to learn me how to post a tweet in screen capture form, that would be much appreciated.

I'll begin with this, and be back shortly with the Chelsea Manning tweet from yesterday which made me wish to start this thread:

Cliff Maloney Jr.‏ @LibertyCliff 12h12 hours ago

$20 trillion in debt, borrowing $1 million a minute, spying on all Americans, and these clowns have the whole country talking about Russia.

centrists built a whirling death machine, are mad they don't control it anymore, will do anything to get it back, and won't dismantle it https://twitter.com/Dillon2592/status/9 ... 0033076224 …

it is not possible to post a tweet but you can take a screen shot of it, post a pic of it if you have photo storage

I guess I picked the wrong week to quit twitter...I still find myself checking a few people there so...consider the following just one silly comedian's perspective and carry on...

I've only been on twitter for 15 months. It struck me as a stupid, clunky, inefficient waste of time whenever I stumbled upon it prior to that, but I belatedly realised I could get access to real people in real time, whose opinion I was interested in, and it has slowly grown from there. I use it more or less as a news feed. I don't follow many people, mostly journalist/writers, and nearly no one follows me. I can still read all the tweets on my feed every day, and I have hopes to keep it that way.

Oh noes! Twitter interfered with paid bots attempting to interfere! The horror!

[Morty]

Well, as long as they weren't just censoring bots on one side of the discussion.

Yeah, I started a few years ago with just comedians, looking at it when taking a break from work (I work online) but with Trump, I started to follow way too many people and would get sucked into reading Trump's tweets and all the comments, happily blocking right-wing idiots...I do blame my own self-control...It is amazing that Twitter was in danger financially last year until the Trump twitter presidency. It is still a rather "elitist" platform, but giving an amazing amount of weight by the media...
