Did you know that the Library of Congress used to archive every tweet ever sent?
Everything inane, everything hilarious, everything historic, everything Presidential, everything that fit all four of those categories. It’s really pretty mind-boggling to think about.
In fact their minds might have gotten just a little bit too boggled, because they became more selective about what they decided to archive starting in 2017.
From that point on, you might be gettin’ into the great library, and ya might not. The thing is, there are something like 350,000 new Tweets sent out every single minute, and continuing to archive that compounding mass just became too big of a task.
However, I’d like to nominate these particular tweets for preservation. For us. For our future.
