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.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

And a season would be 36, maybe 72 episodes long, for syndication. Nowadays you get 10. Maybe another 8 if it does super well. And then that's it, because Netflix is fully "no take only throw" about time-sinks like The Office.
Seriously. Parks n Rec, too, which took 2.5-3 seasons to really find it's footing and voice for its characters would've been doomed if it was released nowadays.
IIRC the shorter seasons were a union demand after the '07-'08 writers' strike.
Wow would that be an own goal.
Some of me even have eight for the first season.
