After seeing this video, my six-year old started singing “Impossible!” repeatedly.

Question for writer friends: what app do you use to write? What are your favourite features, and what features do you wish it had?
My 6-year old is currently obsessed with @alyankovic’s “Dare to be Stupid,” listening, and watching both the original music video and the scene from the 1986 Transformers movie. The song holds up!
A Kickstarter for a satirical biography of @realDonaldTrump, starting with him as an 85-year old used car salesman, performed by puppets:
67%Yes, amazing idea!
33%No, too much Trump!

You should check out the beta of Tracksuit, a web app tool I'm building to make and share dynamic exercise routines that are different each time you do them: tracksuit.fit

At some point, @yakkopinky narrated a funny videos compilation show "Funniest Pets and People," then somebody uploaded it to "pettube.com," where it got put on Kiddoodle, and my 5-year old is randomly watching it while I cook.
Hey @PaulFidalgo , we should do a weird politics-themed Kickstarter, like Politician trading cards, or Congressional paper Doll sets.
Just saw a promoted Tweet from a white guy calling himself Ninja, who has 4M followers, apparently. Can I report the ad to Twitter because being famous for playing Fortnite is lame?

Hey all! I've got this fitness tool I'm building, that lets you create and share intelligent, dynamically sorted workouts that are different each time you do them. It's called Tracksuit, and it's in beta now. You should check it out (it's free)! tracksuit.fit

CONFIRMED: The Avengers will be travelling into *other franchises* to defeat Thanos in Endgame. #Avengers4 #avengers #thor #ghostbusters #endgame #AvengersEndgame
Pretty sure it’s “God will fix it if it’s a real problem.”
But seriously what is the Republican plan for climate change?
I have a question for the Awesome @Firebase devs, about creating a multitenancy app! #askfirebase stackoverflow.com/questions/…
My 5-year old is now a fan of the @nerdynummies cooking show.
Is “bodacious” an acceptable substitute?
Note to writers: "Amazing" is very tired. "Amazing" needs a long vacation. Therefore, please don't write about your amazing party, your amazing girlfriend's amazing dress, or your amazing vacation. Something more pungent & specific, please.
Ted Cruz won a debate?
Sen. Ted Cruz came to Lubbock after winning his debate for a campaign rally. There was a huge crowd and I had the honor of introducing him. I cannot imagine having the far-left Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke representing West Texas in Washington. We must get out the vote!
So, uh, why are you such a dick, @fordnation?
OH SHIT I HAVE THIRTY OF THOSE

#AskFirebase Is a uid secret data? I’d assume it needs to be attached to other data sources, and doing so doesn’t violate best practices? (Thinking of copying it in data other users download, like an author field)
I’m just getting into it, but so far #firebase and #firestore are super awesome.
