Late to the Game: AOL Tweets That Biden Might Be Running for President

Looks like someone just got their dial-up working:

Take particular note of the fact this was posted this morning. And, well, unless you’ve been living under a rock you know Biden’s out.

Also, to answer your question, yes, AOL is still a thing, and yes, they do news coverage.

And thanks to that tweet (now deleted), everyone’s gotten a great reminder of that fact:

Well done, AOL https://t.co/t30hSV0g7g

Y'all just as slow as the dial-up I had to use to get into your chat rooms. In 1995. https://t.co/T2FuOJfa0i

And it took them a few hours to take the tweet down so, again, perfect set-up for a dial-up joke.
