Screenshot of tweet, Joe Friday @justthefacts85 1:49 AM · Jun 24, 2022 These are just a few recent ones as I didn’t go back that far. I’m sure most posts, if not all, are lifted from others. (Last row reversed, sorry.) I don’t know if this is some kind of bot or what. Image attached to tweet are a series of screenshots showing Sammy4723 tweets verbatim copied from the original tweets as follows, TalkerTeacher don’t know who needs to hear this right now but it is perfectly normal to want to avoid catching a potentially debilitating disease during a world- altering pandemic anyone telling you different has an agenda that does not have your health and well-being in mind 8:55 AM 6/19/22 LaurentForan: In the future, students will read in their history book the chapter on the 2020s with shock and anger. “How can a ruling class consciously let a virus kill millions?” When they’ll learn that it was the logic of the profit system, they’ll understand the subsequent revolution. 6:20 PM 6/19/22, and AmySpiro: Israel confirmed more than 10,000 new COVID cases yesterday for the first time since early April.

Granovetter, M. S. (1973). The Strength of Weak Ties. American Journal of Sociology, 78(6), 1360–1380. doi:10.1086/225469 Imagine, to begin with, a community completely partitioned into cliques, such that each person is tied to every other in his clique and to none outside. Community organization would be severely inhibited. Leafletting, radio announcements,or other methods could insure that everyone was aware of some nascent organization; but studies of diffusion and mass communication have shown that people rarely act on mass-media information unless it is also transmitted through personal ties (Katz and Lazarsfeld 1955; Rogers 1962)
