Interview notes (January 2023)

Which tweets do I reply to?

"I often find your satirical posts in replies to tweets that perhaps wouldn’t be expecting it to respond to them. How do you decide which tweets to respond to with your satirical media?"

Replying to tweets in an unexpected satirical manner is fine, fine pleasure, which I greatly enjoy.

I'm like an improv comedian. To do my best work, I need to interact with an audience. Not merely entertain an audience by doing my act. I love wing it, to improvise, in response to other people.

How do I decide which ones to respond to? I try to mix it up:

1. Followers, because they have earned my time
2. Strangers, because I want to charm them with my work, win them over, convert them to followers

Those are the two big categories for satire.

Occasionally I also respond in a non-satirical manner:

3. Informational posts, where I think people could use the information
4. Consoling posts, a few kind words, emoticons for heart, crying, prayers
5. Insults and harsh advice for people I despise
