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.

MODERATORS
I still struggle with how animators in 1937 were able animate the ripples in the water in Snow White at about 1:36.
They did it by hand. Frame by frame.
It's an astonishing accomplishment, what with how realistic it looks.
I remember watching Snow White as a kid and wtf'ing at those ripples.
You could project it on a white background, put a piece of glass in between the projection and the camera. Put some water and create a ripple.
