Only selected parts. There's a lot of stuff that isn't super interesting, or isn't super interesting in fragments, or just doesn't work as short fragments. So there's a lot of editorial decisions about what would make good tweets – often "boring" bits make for good, relatable tweets though.

I often edit the tweets by omitting a few words if it's required to make them fit into 280 characters. Which is easier than the first few years when I had to fit them into 140 characters.
