Twitter to expand to 280-character limit
Terrific. Now all of Lonesome Rhodes' tweets will contain twice as many lies... though I doubt that any of his sheep have the attention span to comprehend 280 characters at one time.

Being that it seems to be the only thing that occupies your minds, you would think you would have better, funnier, more creative trump insults than this. C'mon, put some effort into it.

All thought comes from the right wing noise machine(TM)... A clear and present threat to The Future Of Our Democracy.. Doesn't understand anything... Made the trump apologist and enabler playoffs...

Wow. It's 2017 and the big news is a piece of technology is adding 280 bytes of capacity to its output buffer. Amazing.
..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.

Yep, moving from 140 TO 280. My mistake. Guess we'll have to wait for some tech revolution to get the next 140.Bob Juch wrote:Adding just 140 bytes, actually.BackInTex wrote:Wow. It's 2017 and the big news is a piece of technology is adding 280 bytes of capacity to its output buffer. Amazing.

There's a semi-secret way to have longer tweets: Send one tweet then reply to it with the continuation, then reply to the second tweet, and so on.BackInTex wrote:Yep, moving from 140 TO 280.
