My little pet peeve is when society changed the meaning of ironic to mean joking or satirical.

Satire: noun: wit, irony, or sarcasm used to expose and discredit vice or folly.

  I would argue irony is PART of satire, not irony is satire.

People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

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.
