There are a number of ways to celebrate July 4th, but with COVID-19 restrictions still in place in some places and others just staying home to stop the spread, a Twitter account has come up with a clever way to mark the day.
Twitter account ID4 in Real Time is tweeting the event of Will Smith’s 1996 film “Independence Day” in real time.
The first tweet came on June 28, keeping in tune with the opening of the movie.
