  Even the original quote isn’t from Twain. He misattributed it to British PM Disraeli, but the saying originated after Disraeli’s death.
  
  A bit ironic given the quote.

People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

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.
