@PWSmith1988 @ShapiroGlobal I won’t “stick to tech” any more than another person here who’s say, an accountant or a carpenter, will only comment on their fields. But if that’s your personal rule, feel free to stop following me. I often tweet about journalism, sports, history, music and TV as well. — PolitiTweet.org

As COVID cases top 3 million, it's past time to end the catastrophic Trump presidency. Governors should demand it. New article by my friend ⁦@ShapiroGlobal⁩ . https://t.co/WBVVzrDTjU — PolitiTweet.org

These ads from @ProjectLincoln anti-Trump Republicans really are different from Dem party ads. Much tougher. Much more pointed. Much more personal. — PolitiTweet.org

I was a bit late to retweet this. The date was July 6, 1957. — PolitiTweet.org

A great moment in popular culture. — PolitiTweet.org

@susanthesquark Woo-Hoo! Congrats! We all need some happy news! — PolitiTweet.org

Great article by ⁦@alanmillerNLP⁩, CEO of the ⁦@NewsLitProject⁩, on how demystifying journalism can help restore demand for failing local news. Like Alan, I began my career by proudly covering town councils & school boards, democracy’s heart. https://t.co/40H2qINCWU — PolitiTweet.org

Addendum: you can buy this episode of “John Adams”, or even the whole mini-series, from Amazon or iTunes and probably other places. The prices are quite low. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@patricknward I agree 1000%. An @HBO series on the David McCullough book “1776” could be wonderful. But would the new owners shell out the budget for the kind of top-flight actors, directors, etc., that old @HBO did in 2008? What do you think @pkafka? — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

I think that @HBO should make this one episode of this one 2008 mini-series free for a week or so around every July 4. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

Like my friend @patricknward, I watch this 90-minute portrayal every July 4. It is based on real history, not myth, and it shows just how difficult, dangerous, world-changing, and breathtaking the act of American independence was. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

I strongly recommend that, whatever your politics, you watch the marvelous portrayal of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in the @HBO mini-series “John Adams”. It’s available on HBO, HBO Max and every other version of HBO. It’s episode 2. https://t.co/ylIuV4vRnX — PolitiTweet.org

@defcon_5 @Lin_Manuel I too wish Adams was in the play, especially because Hamilton, while nominally his ally, worked to undermine him. But @HamiltonMusical is utterly brilliant despite Adams’s absence. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@mrcolossus2k Yes. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@stevejarrett No. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@stevejarrett It’s brilliant. Especially the episode on the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. The book is great too. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

Two founders and former presidents uncannily died exactly 50 years after July 4, 1776, the final adoption of the Declaration of Independence. At Adams’ urging, Jefferson drafted it, but Adams led the push for adoption. They became bitter enemies, then reconciled later in life. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@alanmillerNLP We actually applauded at the TV. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@patricknward We applauded too. Many times. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@prbing @HamiltonMusical @disneyplus @Samsung You too. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@jalter You can spend $6.99 for the first month, just for Hamilton, and then cancel. Cheap ticket. But I will say there’s other good stuff there, even if you don’t have little kids. Like all of Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar, the Simpsons, the Disney animated movies old and new. And no ads. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@prbing @HamiltonMusical @disneyplus I’m just speculating, but this may have something to do with @Samsung. I also had a friend who couldn’t get Disney+ to work on one of her two identical Samsung “smart” TVs. It worked on the other. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@OnlyInBOS I’m always proud of Massachusetts, but the World Wide Web was invented in Switzerland by a British scientist, Tim Berners-Lee. He later established an organization to govern web standards at @MIT. But the Web wasn’t invented in Massachusetts. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@LaurenGoode Nah, that’d nevah happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@defcon_5 @HamiltonMusical @disneyplus That was one of the best treats in the film. From our seats, we couldn’t see all that detail on his face. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@prbing @HamiltonMusical @disneyplus It worked great on my 2016 LG TV via my Apple TV. No buffering, no stuttering, no delays or hiccups of any kind. And great sound through my Sonos PlayBase. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

We saw @HamiltonMusical on stage a few years ago, but we were blown away by the sheer brilliance of the streaming version on @disneyplus. Each experience had its own virtues, but the close-up detail in the movie was extraordinary. #hamiltonmovie https://t.co/kV0K1tVymQ — PolitiTweet.org
