Twitter (which is where people tweet tweets) also has fun “trends” you can see — hot topics, essentially— so you can get a read on the current vibe or zeitgeist

I just get emails for tweets. A writer I have read for years, Sherrod Brown and Connie Schultz. A writer, she is funny. On MSNBC often.

I am so happy for you getting your vaccine.

My daughter just had her second dose of Moderna this very day.
She is a Nurse Practitioner taking care of Covid patients.

She did not have any side effects, just a sore arm.

I think he has to make kumbaya noises while his separate justice department goes to work.

Fingers crossed!

Trump rarely used it. Trump used his stupid personal twitter account, @realDonaldTrump, now banned by Twitter.

I honestly thought for a moment that deranged monster got his twitter account back. It took me a moment for it register we're now talking about President Biden's tweets. And if his tweets are anywhere near this one, I'm going to become a Presidential tweet addict!!

Just sang the song awesomely. Messed with the rhythm just a tiny bit. Little flourish at the end for modulation (which she is a frickin' genius at). Perfect.

I love twitter and all, but I prefer that Biden stick with traditional forms of communication! I want all trumpy things to be reversed, and that starts with a nearly silent Twitter account except for in dire emergencies.
