I used https://www.tweetgen.com/ to generate these images. I think this is “profile” like enough for the assignment. Everett Lame did not have a profile picture or bio before he deleted his account for the record, which might go against the assignment parameters but I think it fits with what I am trying to do. My person is supposed to be ironic, as indicated by the tag, so it is in his nature to be as basic as possible. I tried to identify very popular events/trends to comment on in a very normal way across the pop culture spectrum. I think this is a very interesting assignment and I had a fun time researching 2007 and formulating takes about stuff after the fact. My bibliography is below along with my Google workspace where all the Tweets are ordered by the category I think they fit for the assignment, if there is any confusion.
