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 bullying or 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.

the noughties

You know, I’ve never heard it called that. I don’t like it. I always say the “oughts” or “early 2000’s”

I think that's because The Guardian is a British news organization so random words have a different meaning. Nought is zero and cookies are biscuits.

I just ignore that decade like we all should. I spent it dead for tax purposes
