People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- 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.
- 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

You hit the nail on the head. It's sort of like Doctor Who in the sense that it asks of you, "don't look at any of this stuff too closely, just enjoy the ride." Unfortunately for Harry Potter the structure of the story eventually required a bit more seriousness and the world can't provide it very well.
Which is why I think the movies are better than the books.
