People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No bullying or international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.

This is one of the reasons I hate cable tv so much.

It was not cable, but I distinctly remember the worst part of watching movies on TV as a kid with my dad. All the channels would cram a commercial break right before the last 10/15 minutes of a movie, prompting my dad to declare it was too late for us to be up and turning the TV off for the night.

I don't blame my dad, he was probably tired and just wanted to get some sleep, but I do blame the greedy TV channels for sure!
