I have to continually remind myself not to read comments, but, ugh, it's a bad habit. The ones on Politico are really terrible. They're essentially indistinguishable in content from YouTube comments. Everyone thinks of themselves as funny, clever, or insightful, but they're just not. Jesus.

If these archival tweets were around for several hundred years, perhaps they might be interesting to historians in the same way ancient Roman graffiti is. But it seems far more likely to me that this project, even if it does get off the ground, would shut down well before that. I'm not sure Politico comments are that far removed from a lot of tweets... and based on the Politico comments, maybe shutting down that project wouldn't be a bad thing.
