I had nothing else to write so wanted to share this. Scroll down for fun and games on Twitter. So far it appears that hardly anybody is reading this. Oh well, can’t win them all.
Yesterday I decided to make an image and tweet it as a reply to the tweet from Rudy Guiliani shown above and below. I wanted to try to hoax him, albeit in a very minor way, like Sacha Baron Cohen did in the new Borat movie: Full Borat movie sting scene shows Rudy Giuliani patting 'Kazakhstan daughter's' back - as Sacha Baron Cohen says 'heaven knows what he's done with other female journalists in hotel rooms' Daily Mail
Others jabbed Rudy’s tweet too. For example:
He obviously won’t retweet that one. I hoped I could sucker him in and have him think my tweet was an actual compliment and retweet it.
Here are some more replies to that tweet which won’t get retweeted either (click to enlarge):
More people will probably see my tweet on Twitter (it had 145 impressions since yesterday) than will see it here.
I know from a poll that hardly any Daily Kos readers look at Twitter and even fewer have an account. For me posting there is therapy. Having one go viral would be a huge bonus. Having one seen (like the two at the bottom of this page) by more than a thousand people is gratifying. The most people ever to recommend one of my Kos stories was 470.
Google enables posters to see how many people look at their tweets, called impressions. The numbers are strongly influenced by the hashtags you use.

181 impressions
462 impressions
600 impressions
255 impressions
Another Amy Coney Barrett one got 525 impressions
321 impressions
How about this? Al “Scarface” Capone got 1392 impressions.
A Stormy Daniels tweet even outdid this one with 1504 impressions. It linked to this diary which from the poll only about 100 people read.
