Be excellent to each other.
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.

There are a number of animals considered unclean and most of it goes back to which animals had diseases before modern agriculture and veterinary practises. I.e pigs used to be riddled with tape worm. Dogs were often carriers of other parasites and if wild likely rabid. There’s some common sense behind it historically but most modern practitioners don’t think about those things.
