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

Scully is usually right most of the time. Really there are only a handful of episodes where the spooky option ends up being the most plausible one. Even the stuff about Mulder's sister and the "walk-ins," which is ostensibly the most direct confirmation of anything supernatural in the show, is arguably an unreliable narrator trope since it is told to us by the show's on again off again villain and "confirmed" by Mulder's vision. Personally I don't even consider that episode canon because it was such a thematic departure.
