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. 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.
- 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 (see rule 6)

The disdain for spreadsheets comes from people who don't understand data organization, or people who do.
Tabular data? Good.
Schemaless? Unstructured? Probably maintained by eleventy-four random sales people and an account? Being given to me like it's a gift and expecting me to just magic it into some reporting system? On a recurring basis? No. Please God no.
I can be trusted to use a spreadsheet for my things that I don't share. Other people need to use something that will yell at them when they give it malformed gibberish.
Oh, and executable logic doesn't belong in the same context as data. That shit needs to be able to be told apart from the data.
