It's REAL! You can tell by the way it is because the internet was invented in 1889 and Twitter was invented in 1960. And they were still using the blue Twitter bird so it wasn't a black X yet. It's totally real. And JFK didn't hang himself.
@grok is this real
AI is trained on this stuff, so it probably figures it's real.

To their defence: Maybe they thought this was a real quote JFK actually said, and not a tweet from the 60s.
Harry's Razor:
Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by misunderstanding.
I wonder if Hanlon shaved with Harry's Razors?
Hanlon's razor is "Never attribute to malice any action that can be attributed to stupidity." And it keeps me going some days
Or maybe they were joking
Or this conversation never happened or both are the same human/bot.
The quote is often said as "stupidity" or "incompetence". Which could very well be the case here.
Back then Texas was still close enough to belonging to Mexico that it got the sepia tint too
All tweets yellow with exposure to the air. You need to keep them in an archival storage solution if you want them to last.
That JFK guy sure blows my mind...
I'll get my coat and leave.
Im no JFK cause that one went OVER my head
Y'all highlighting the pun word is... I dunno if it makes it funnier, or makes it stupider. Funnier because it's stupider?
When saying puns aloud I often enjoy overpronouncing the pun word, and since I was following up someone who already did I especially felt like I had to keep it going.
