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 bullying or 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.

I would think worse actually, fairly sure our literacy and numeracy scores are worse now than in the 80s.

Ah, ok, they peaked in 2012, been declining since, almost back down to 70s/80s levels.

This graoh only goes to 2022... and other sources have those scores continuing to fall.

And we also have TikTok destroying everyone's attention spans and capacity to self regulate today.
