With Twitter being in the news so much, there are examples from Twitter, e.g., https://twitter.com/GergelyOrosz/status/1606354058280779779. The direction this guy was going was silly enough that a number of folks, unsolicited, messaged me in the early days saying that, based on the public tweets, this guy had no chance (h/t https://sigmoid.social/@swyx for images).
That example is only notable because the person actually tried and failed. There are plenty of more absurd claims from people who didn't try, like https://mastodon.social/@danluu/109374630690202023.
This is Buffalo #Bills assistant athletic trainer Denny Kellington. He is the reason #DamarHamlin is still alive.
He performed #CPR on Hamlin on the field Monday night, and doctors today said his speed and skill were "absolutely vital."

So many years we fought with the Twitter API. I love that if you want an RSS of someone's Mastodon feed, you just add .rss at the end of their URL. Open Web, my friends. https://hachyderm.io/@shanselman.rss
My parents thought I was going through a space “phase” until I graduated from high school, went to college, and said “no really… I’m gonna do that thing I was somewhat obsessed with my entire life.” 😆 #NASA
Oops! I did again:
I created a Twitter account pretending to be @SenMarkey (with his permission) and applied for Blue “verification.”
And once again, Twitter took my $8, asked zero questions and gave the fake account a blue checkmark.
ZIF socket came in for my #RC2014 build! I really like this one as low profile and the locking arm doesn't seem to interfere with anything

A quick intro. I’m an Aboriginal of Wiradjuri/French extraction. My paternal grandparents were basically full blood (for want of a better descriptor) I was born in an era where removing Aboriginal children for the purpose of assimilation was common place, I’m one of those children. Latter I became a street kid, I now own my own professional practice. In the past I was a semi-professional boxer, and did a stint in the ADF. My wife is non-Indigenous. When I write about Aboriginal issues I’m speaking from my own personal experiences, or those of my family including those I was institutionalised with as a kid. I also work with homeless people and street kids. My non-Indigenous family have vicariously experienced much of whit I write about. A parting thought: racism destroys people’s hopes and aspirations and eats their souls. We are all brothers and sisters in humanity - this is worth remembering. Bakchos
