Some days you wake up to find a misspelled holiday hashtag trending, and today is one of those days. We captured early traffic (prior to ~7:30 AM CDT July 4th) for #IndependeceDay (sic). Some false positives related to Djibouti have been removed.

Although volume for #IndependeceDay didn't take off until July 4th, we found intermittent activity (mostly automated commercial spam) going back further. These tweets may have caused the misspelled hashtag to show up in Twitter's autocomplete feature, precipitating the trend.
In the wee hours of July 4th, three #MAGA accounts (@saywhen78, @WilkowMajority, and @ChatByCC) tweeted the erroneously-spelled #IndependeceDay hashtag and received decent retweet volume. @saywhen78's tweet appears to have been the tipping point for getting the hashtag trending.

We started looking at automated activity (and potentially other aspects of) tweets containing various #<candidate first or last name>2020 hashtags (e.g., #Warren2020, #Kamala2020, #Bernie2020, etc.) We examined tweets from Jan 1st - July 3rd, 2019.

Looking more closely at the 2020 hashtags that have both a significant percentage (we used 10% as a cutoff, 3%-ish is average) of automated activity and at least 1000 tweets, we see sizable volume for tweets posted via VK (Russian Facebook-esque social network.) What's the deal?
The VK activity in the 2020 hashtags comes from 21 very similarly-named accounts. Account names are the display name with "Im" prepended (e.g., "Alberta Swift" = "@ImAlbertaSwift.) All tweets were posted via VK, and none tweeted before 2018 (despite some being created in 2015.)

Some early data for hashtags related to today's rally. #DemandFreeSpeech network is split between right-wing accounts promoting the event and left/center commentary; #AllOutDC is mostly traffic in favor of the counterprotest. Not much automation present.

Sadly the Laura Loomer fan club live stream has been interrupted and I am forced to embrace other options.
A high point of the #DefendFreeSpeech rally: dude dressed as a giant eyeball holding up a "DRAIN THE SWAMP = 911 TRUTH" sign. #AltWankers

We've seen (and tweeted about) a lot of what we call "newsbots" - automated Twitter accounts that link the content of a given set of news organizations. Some don't exactly have the best taste in source material and so it is with @pr0udwhite, followed by 11.5K.

cc: @ZellaQuixote
The media menu served up by @pr0udwhite consists of a variety of right-wing conspiracy sites (Infowars, ZeroHedge), anti-immigrant sites (Voice of Europe etc as well as German far-right political party AfD), and RT. AfD is a major theme of the account's content in general.
The operator of @pr0udwhite initially posted at least some organic content, but over time has increasingly left it on autopilot; only one of the most recent 3200 tweets was posted manually. The Facebook group linked from the profile has either been removed or set to private.

RIght now, Yoongi feels like codfish in a sea of salmon. But on the way here Jimin kept trying to convince him that this was THE golden chance for his first 'Shakespearience'—

("I understand you've never seen a play by him, and that's NOT good. Grow. Learn. Be better.")
—and for once, Yoongi found himself without a witty retort, so he went with it.

It makes sense that Yoongi should lose his Shakespearean virginity in this manner. At the park with three other men, under the stars.

(That sounds so wrong, but the point stands resolute.)
"Did we keep you waiting?" Seokjin says as he & Namjoon draw near. At the sight of his grandfather's attorney, Yoongi instinctively moves closer to Jimin, putting an arm around his shoulders.

Jimin follows suit as if they're dancing a practiced piece—he molds into Yoongi's hold.

Today, I'd like you to meet some friends of mine.

First I'd like you to meet Warrant Officer David Caplan. He was my roommate in advance helicopter flight school. Polishing our boots was a daily chore, until we became Senior Warrant Officer Candidates. Then we could relax.
At our graduation, his parents showed up. I had no family who could make it, so his mother pinned my wings on my chest.

I arrived in Nam before Caplan, but when I'd heard he was in country, I passed a greeting onto him via one of his friends from his new unit.
He was already dead. On one of his first missions, a night mission, flying co-pilot in a Cobra, the pilot got target fixation and broke too late from their run. The rotor blade struck a tree and they flew into the ground.

one of my dream goals if I had too much money and time and IP lawyers would be to go back to a certain era of DOS games and remake them to fix the framerate problems and add soundblaster sound.
I'm talking Cosmo & Major Styker, for example.
there was a certain era of games where people were sacrificing frame rate for visual quality and BOY did that decision not hold up in the long run.
Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure also is one of those weird games that has adlib music but still uses PC speaker sound effects, so updating it to soundblaster would be nice.
Major Stryker just has a shit frame rate.

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

today is one of those days when a straight description of the president’s behavior sounds partisan and bad faith

“president trump, who appears to be struggling for coherent, ordered thoughts, has declared his intention to circumvent congress to build an unpopular border wall.”
“he had also expressed his admiration for countries which use the death penalty against sellers of illegal drugs”
seriously though if someone in my life were speaking as scattershot and incoherently as the president i’d urge them to see a medical professional

I feel anxious for my children because tomorrow if mob surrounds them and asks, “Are you a Hindu or a Muslim?” …they will have no answer, says actor #NaseeruddinShah
#Tathya
#Tathya with Apoorvanand
In the context of the Sajjan Kumar conviction in the 1984 genocidal violence against Sikhs, we need to rethink about other incidents of violence that have happened in the country, says Prof. Apoorvanand.
We wish you a #MerryChristmas with the Christian Qawwals of Delhi.
"People look at me and wonder who I really am. I have only one answer for them. I am you," says Bernard Rufus, also known as Sahil Sufi Nizam, a popular singer of Christian Qawwalis.
