  • I've Gone Viral (Kinda, Not Really)

    From BTR1701@3:633/10 to All on Sun Feb 15 19:41:14 2026
    For the first time, I've had a tweet actually kinda catch on. Most of the time when I respond to someone on the exTwitters, I'll get half a dozen views and one, maybe two likes. (Usually just anim8r) I've gone as high as 15 or so in the past, but one I responded to Friday is up to 235 likes and 1700 views. Sure, it ain't the millions that every Taylor Swift or Musk tweet gets, but
    I'm pretty excited.

    Am I an influencer now?

    Don't forget to blame Big Camping. It's a conspiracy, I tell you.

    Start circulating your nominating petitions now. You are going to be the
    next governator of California.

    Isn't the former mayor (was is Garcetti's worthless kid?) most responsible?

    I am a frequently horrified that I am the only like on posts that should be wildly popular

    I am proud to be counted in those 235 likes

    No, just a Teller of the Truth...which seems to be rare
    these days.

    Nyssa, who also attempts to Tell the Truth, but is often
    cut off or talked-over when she does by people who are
    more that happy to tell her she's wrong (even when hard
    evidence is presented or offered)
