For a long period recently I had averaged over 1000 impressions/views a day for my tweets. That's nothing for someone who has hundreds of thousands of followers (like the celebrity below), but I still have fewer than 10 on the current/new(er) account. I haven't had a "viral Tweet", my definition for a 1K impression tweet, for a few weeks now (My top tweet is like 400+ impressions.) I do write several tweets without regard to trending topics, but one of the best ways to build an audience is by posting on trending topics. And so I've been in a statistics slump over the last few weeks. And part of it has to do with the nature and extent of trends, most of which I haven't been interested in.
Probably the most famous celebrity to flame me on Twitter. (I had posted a tweet supporting COVID policy protesters on the Left Coast.) She's a well-known actress, e.g., played the lead on the multi-season show "Medium". It appears to be from her legit account.
I'm thrilled the Tampa Bay Bucs dominated KC in the Super Bowl against the odds. I'm also a Vikings fan who still holds a grudge over Kansas City beating them in the first of 4 Super Bowls.

"Gorilla Glue"
I don't agree with Cuban's politics, but I agree that we need to stop injecting patriotically correct nationalist symbolism before sports events. The NBA's rule promoting the playing of the anthem is not in the interest of organized sports.

Trump Derangement Syndrome never dies. Stop the disingenuous comparisons to a criminal trial. Personally, I favor conviction. But expecting a third of GOP senators to flip on Trump based on any evidence short of a smoking gun was never realistic.

I was not impressed with Trump's Senate trial counsels with their phone-it-defense that (1) Trump's words were taken out of context and hypocritically applied and (2) Trump as a private citizen would not have been criminally charged for inciting the Jan. 6 riot.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) February 13, 2021
Ask me if I'm impressed by Trump's wink and a nod act. "Oh, they can't accuse me if I put 'peacefully' in my speech to cover my ass." He tells the Proud Boys to stand by, and we're supposed to sing "Kumbaya"?
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) February 13, 2021
I was not impressed either with the prosecutors' case against Trump in the Senate trial. The Capitol police report to the Congress. Reportedly Pelosi's office sidestepped multiple requests for standby National Guard assistance on Jan. 6. It's almost like Clinton and Benghazi.

It's so sad that McCarthy is so worried that Trump could quash his career dream of becoming Speaker that he let Trump shit all over him on Jan. 6.

It's sad to realize that a retiring Portman lacked the political courage to do the right thing and vote to convict that cancer on the Presidency, Trump. The idea that the brilliant conservative Taft's seat could be won by an unprincipled Trumpkin is horrifying. https://t.co/v0OugIq3fJ

Let's get this straight: Trump barely held onto North Carolina before his Jan. 6 unconstitutional crimes; Trump pulled off the hat trick of losing the House, the Senate, and the White House; I can't believe NC voters would put a Trumpkin by marriage in the Senate

Trumpism is a cancer on the GOP. After Trump decided to primary @justinamash, who eventually voted to impeach Trump the first time, it seems Trumpkins are targeting Meijer, Amash's successor, for voting for impeachment 2.0. https://t.co/OZnPyf2U3G

Justin is, of course, correct, but I seriously doubt that Biden will ever pardon Trump.

I can just see Trump playing "Claudia Conway"'s music for his 2024 comeback campaign. #sarcasm
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) February 15, 2021
I haven't watched the new incarnation of American Idol since it was canceled by Fox. I think perhaps it was obvious why ABC was promoting Conway's appearance: to exploit the tragedy of a dysfunctional family in the public eye. Her advance was predictable.

Well, what fascist trolls like you don't understand, Clinton's issue was NOT adultery but victimizing people who worked under him. There are government sexual harassment policies. What Trump did was immoral; what Clinton did was illegal and hypocritical.
