"The 1980's are calling to ask for their foreign policy back."

So this is a page:

What kind of sad petty tyrant refers to media as ‘enemies of the state’ and ‘scum’?

And what kind of people would support him?

Well here is one way to not get your copters shot down.

Ok I'm sorry to channel @steve2^4, but the tweets in this thread are getting out of control. It's taking me a minute or two to load each page of the thread because of the tweets, which is insane because I downloaded 3 GB Bluray rip of the new Spider Man movie in about 2-3 minutes. Surely these tweets aren't taking literally gigabytes to download?

I'm all in favor of tweets with embedded videos because it's easier than going to an ad-riddled news website, but is anyone actually clicking on threads that say it's one of 20? That's like reading a long break up on a text on a flip phone from 2004. Oh I've made myself sad.

So is that what happened in 2004?
Sorry, dude.

Nah, it was an hourlong phone call. I couldn't afford a 20-part text, but I had free night and weekend minutes. So I broke even.

Oh snap!

(And sorry Timmy!)

Like this tweet and embedded video tweets are a great use of Twitter. It's the fucking threads that I'm not gonna click on. I'm already not gonna click on an external news article, so it better be copy/pasted here. I'm sure as shit not gonna open a Twitter link to read 20 instances of 140 characters at a time.

Well I’m an asshole.

It’s the rendering, not the embedding. For some terribly unclear reason, it’s about a gajillion times faster on mobile.

Forgot to mention, I got the latest issue of Air Force Magazine last week. There is, of course, a lag between a mag being written and being published, but sometimes it's just unfortunate. It had an article on the Russian buildup around Ukraine and suppositions about whether they'd ever attack, weeks after they did.

I'm on mobile and it's incredibly slow. At least on pages where there are a lot of tweets. So far this page isn't bad.

Would changing my thread options to display fewer posts per page help? I think I have mine set at the max.

Okay but how many of them had a man with a gun and a NOT THE KGB badge standing next to them while they answered that

I sense a trap.

Quite the sense of humor someone has.
