I spent some time looking into the claim that Bin Laden's "Letter to America" went viral on TikTok. And, after finding some of the videos in this supercut and lining it up with Know Your Meme's timeline, I'm pretty confident saying this tweet is actually what made it "go viral". https://t.co/3Q8Fu2lNnU

Learning some hard truths because of this tweet. Things like:

-Ghostbusters (1984) is apparently NOT a comedy

-The lore and mythos within Ghostbusters is deathly serious. Harold Ramis’ words are sacred, Homerian texts

-I should never tweet about Ghostbusters https://t.co/QEJJd2S4LD
