ID4 in Real Time

As a gesture of peace and goodwill, President Whitmore has sent his congratulations to President Skroob on the successful completion of the latest Spaceball project. The White House looks forward to enjoying the final product and hopes it arrives with “ludicrous speed.”

Haven’t seen a group of Senators bail on their constituents like this since the ‘96 Crime Bill.

In a statement from the White House press room, President Whitmore debunks former Defense Secretary Al Nimziki’s alleged plans to… *checks notes* …build a nuclear reactor… *checks notes again* …on the moon.

@hutt_hutt_mike Hello, friends…

@1996ID4 Thank you for your service 🫡🇺🇸

It's been a super fun seven years, and it gets better every single time out. Hope we're all together again in 2026. See y'all later! Happy #IndependenceDay! #ID4

@1996ID4 Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸

@1996ID4 @MDWDFW Go Heels. Go America.

@ArmyofDorkness_ Those wounds run pretty deep.

@1996ID4 I don’t think I’ll ever get over Macho Grande.

This is a testament to American ingenuity & the U.S. military, who at only 15% capacity, took out the greatest threat civilization has ever seen in approximately 36 hrs. This is Yorktown, D-Day, Iwo Jima, and Macho Grande all wrapped into one.

@MarkHac56209533 That second one never happened.

@1996ID4 Loved this so much I watched both movies yesterday evening.

@Mike_el_Aranya ¡Vamos!

@1996ID4 Muchas gracias por todo el esfuerzo. La mejor cuenta de X sin duda. El año que viene es el 30 aniversario, tienes un año para pensar algo grande.

P.S. Apologies to @_adamcrowley at @937theFan in Pittsburgh. Didn’t mean for you to drain the bank account in a panic during the break Wednesday morning. #GoBuccos

Thanks to EVERYONE following and playing along. New followers & the OG’s. This doesn't happen without you, retweets, comments, word of mouth. The comments and reactions from y’all are what makes this whole thing fun. And worth it. Otherwise, it’s just scripted tweets.

And as the good Reverend would say, "Why we're on this particular mission, we'll never know. But I do know, here today, that the Black Knights will emerge victorious once again."

As always, pour a few out for the incomparable Robert Loggia and the always underrated James Rebhorn. Masters of their craft. Made everything they touched better. Absolute legends. Those guys weren’t bad. They weren’t too bad at all.

Biggest ups to @rolandemmerich and @Dean_Devlin for the awesome source material. These shenanigans, malarkey, and tomfoolery obviously doesn’t happen without them. The writing, the characters, the whole thing - it’s PERFECT for this medium.

Hat tip to @WPMagicJourneys for giving me this concept. She had no idea what she was getting into 17 yrs ago! Hey, go book a cruise getaway with her and ask her about the WHITMORE SPECIAL for discounts on your next deposit!

The guy handling the tweet to tweet content is @MDWDFW and as a North Carolina kid, I take SERIOUS issue with Hiller’s use of the word “barbecue” - the word I’m looking for is “cookout.” It's a cookout, dammit. #GoHeels. #RaiseUp.

Today, we heed the words of President Thomas Whitmore, and we celebrate.
