    My little pet peeve is when society changed the meaning of ironic to mean joking or satirical.

    Satire: noun: wit, irony, or sarcasm used to expose and discredit vice or folly.

      I would argue irony is PART of satire, not irony is satire.

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 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.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as “satire” in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement
