One advantage of long tweets is that I can use correct grammar more often =^-^=
And if you use a wider character set encompassing all of the 1-count Unicode codepoints that Twitter allows, you could even compress it further.

0000-1100 would encompass ~12 bits. 280*12 = 3360 (equivalent to 480 ASCII). Offset +256 to avoid C0/C1 control codes. But normalization (singleton decomposition) will corrupt data. https://unicode.org/Public/10.0.0/ucd/CompositionExclusions.txt …pic.twitter.com/qbqczIvO6f

Safer using 140 Astrals. 10000-10FFFF gives 20*140 (2800). Very few singletons in there. Safer yet is 90000-10FFFF, all tweetable, no singletons, 19 bits * 140. Or you can use URL packing. Easy to fit 36K into web copy-pastable text, wrapped in code to extract data.
