According to Twitter, the announcement of “Black Panther” actor Chadwick Boseman’s death on his account was the most shared tweet in 2020, and with over 7.5 million “likes,” it also became the most liked tweet in history. US President Donald Trump was No. 1 among the top 10 most-tweeted about people worldwide, followed by US president-elect Joe Biden, whose running mate Kamala Harris at No. 10 was the most tweeted about women this year.
K-pop supergroup BTS has continued to dominate the top 10 most tweeted musicians for four straight years, reflecting the boyband’s milestones on the Billboard charts and successes at award shows in recent years. They are followed by Kanye West, Beyonce, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Cardi B, Blackpink, Drake, Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift.
The hashtag #COVID19 was the most popular one on the social media platform, and the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter was at the second spot following the tragic death of George Floyd in May. The hashtag #StayHome was the third most popular one.

At 3:19am on a cold December morning in 1941, a father was jolted awake by violent shaking, loud crashes and the sound of breaking pottery and tiles. And then, a woman’s terrified scream. He instinctively reached for his wife beside him. She was not there. She must have gone to check on their youngest child in the east wing. He tried to stand but was thrown back down. The room shook even harder. Walls cracked open and ceiling beams groaned as pieces of the roof began to fall. Cold December air rushed in the room and fanned the fire
Have you ever wanted to go camping but were put off by the thought of setting up a tent, sleeping on hard ground and dealing with a lack of basic amenities? If so, glamping might be the perfect solution for you. Glamping, combining the words “glamorous” and “camping,” takes the outdoor experience to a whole new level. It offers the chance to enjoy nature while still having access to comfortable accommodation and modern conveniences. Instead of pitching a tent, you’ll stay in spacious, luxurious tents that are fully furnished and equipped with real beds, electricity and even en-suite facilities.
A: I’ve been a fan of singer Jay Chou for 24 years, since his debut in 2000. B: But this time, his Taipei Dome concerts have shed light on the issue of ticket scalping. A: Isn’t the law stricter after being amended last year? B: Yeah, ticket scalping is illegal, even if you only raise the price by NT$1 when reselling. A: Why aren’t scalpers afraid of getting caught? Maybe a real-name ticketing system would be better. A: 自從周杰倫2000年出道以來，我都已經追星24年了。 B: 不過這次大巨蛋開唱，他卻引爆黃牛票問題。 A: 去年修法後，法規不是變得比較嚴格？ B: 是啊，就算加價1元轉賣也算違法！ A: 黃牛們怎麼都抓不怕？或許票券「實名制」會更有用。 （By Eddy Chang, Taipei Times／台北時報張聖恩）
