> [@standingwave](#): > > Very cute, but also very Sorkinesque… _“Yep. That picture happened. Ugh. My tech issues have now reached new heights, apparently. How a deletion turned into a tweet… Apologies.”_ Naw. A Sorkin-esque tweet would have blamed the internet for invading her privacy, then spouted off against the good ol’ days when private pictures stayed private, dammit, then used the phrase “not for nothing”, then made an obscure reference with the hope that no one would be able to place it, then sighed deeply in disappointment when no one got the obscure reference meant to be un-gettable because what do they even teach in schools, nowadays?, then include some smirking joke about evangelical Christians, then taken the form of an e-mail written to a family member. It would be spread over thirty-four tweets and convey absolutely no real message. \*I say this as a die-hard West Wing fan. ---

She’s apologizing? She doesn’t have to apologize! “You’re welcome” would be a lot more appropriate, it seems to me. ---
