Trump Fires Off Completely Meaningless Tweet: Twitter Has ‘Greatly Slowed the Level of Speed and Increase’
President Donald Trump — making good use of executive time in anticipation of Flynn’s sentencing on Tuesday — fired off a meaningless tweet accusing social media platforms of censoring him. The tweet starts off as standard fare: “Facebook, Twitter and Google are so biased toward the Dems it is ridiculous!” Then it gets a little strange: “Twitter, in fact, has made it much more difficult for people to join @realDonaldTrump.” And then devolves into words strung together that have no meaning as a whole sentence: “They have removed many names & greatly slowed the level and speed of increase. They have acknowledged-done NOTHING!” If some clued-in commenter can enlighten us on what Trump means by claiming Twitter has “removed many names” and “greatly slowed the level and speed of increase” it would be appreciated. Have a tip we should know? [email protected] … [Read more...] about Trump Fires Off Completely Meaningless Tweet: Twitter Has ‘Greatly Slowed the Level of Speed and Increase’
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Is Taking Over Twitter, as It Should
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is out, and we’re all finding new ways to love the world of Spider-Man. Stan Lee has always made the point that anyone can wear the mask and now, for the first time, movie audiences know it’s true. Peter Parker isn’t the only hero in New York City, and to see characters like Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy, and the rest of the Spider-People onscreen is teaching an entirely new generation what it means to be a hero. Twitter is finally seeing the movie, and thus, the reactions are pretty incredible. From their love of hot dad bod Peter Parker to the introduction of our new children (Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy), one thing is very clear: We all love this movie and will probably see it about ten more times. Miles Morales is our new son. Just a boy who sings to calm down and who, at the end of the day, doesn’t know if he wants to be Spider-Man. Having a character like Miles leading the film is changing the game for so many fans, proving … [Read more...] about Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Is Taking Over Twitter, as It Should
Shadowhunters Fans Furious After Freeform Mocks Twitter Campaign
7 minutes ago Shadowhunters was cancelled earlier in the year, yet some are still holding out hope that Freeform may renew the series once more, if renewal can be justified through campaigns and fan efforts. After all, 2018 was a great year for cancelled shows finding homes elsewhere. So it at least seems possible a campaign could lead to the show returning somewhere. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem likely at Freeform, and fans are furious after it mocked them during an airing of Toy Story. As seen above, a pop-up appears with the question "Will Freeform save Shadowhunters if I keep tweeting about it?" Woody then shakes the Magic 8-Ball which delivers the message "Don't count on it" right after. The message is seemingly a reference to a Twitter campaign orchestrated by fans that has asked Freeform to renew the program. The effort has done other things as well, such as raising tens of thousands of dollars for charity. Suffice to say, there were many involved in the … [Read more...] about Shadowhunters Fans Furious After Freeform Mocks Twitter Campaign
