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. You can replace the addres of .x.com to xcancel.com in the address. https://web.archive.org/save is an option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.

Notes for managing projections and debts
Sumerians built and invented a lot of stuff. You see, nobody had done anything yet, so there was a lot of catching up to do. So really it was more important than writing stuff is for us in a way. Plus selling stuff, history (aka yesterday), instructions, etc.
Trading, govt.stuff.
