Yep. That's what I'm goin with

Anyhoo... it starts in, of all years, 2020

#mauifire "As of this posting, there is a fire in West Maui, residents in Kaanapali are currently being evacuated. At this time, there are no restrictions to exit the west side." https://t.co/3bzmAKvfle

BREAKING: Kaanapali residents are being evacuated due to fire in West Maui says Maui Police Department.

The dumbest thing about this is how every other social platform WISHES they created a unique and renowned verb like "Tweet" or "Retweet" - that kind of brand recognition is near impossible to replicate intentionally

NEW: Park Meadows Mall security says people on the mall property should seek shelter in back service hallways. #cowx

[AccuWeather @accuweather]

Remarkable. 😧 AccuWeather's @TonyLaubach captured this incredible video of side-by-side tornadoes forming in Washington County, Colorado, this afternoon. #COwx

[Chris Bianchi @BianchiWeather]

This is for a later day, but Red Rocks announced at 9:14pm they were in a weather delay.

@NWSBoulder issued a Severe T-Storm Warning for the amphitheater at 9:04pm.

If there was a 10-minute gap, that would be completely unacceptable.

@Out_of_Spec @itskyleconner I think this is a UX improvement to teach ‘free charging,��� folk the more real world costs of their charging habits. Confusing? Sure, but I think it helps a bit of the growing pains of first time/free charging EV owners.

[topher bates @batesTopher]

@Out_of_Spec @itskyleconner .@itskyleconner more about the OOS Guide video, at the APS/EA Sedona station about free charging. More and more noticing EA is showing price during session, and then applying a discount on the final screen with an account that has free charging.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican from Georgia, holds her smart phone with former US President Donald Trump on the line, as Rep. Matt Rosendale, a Republican from Montana, waves it off during a meeting of the 118th Congress in the House Chamber on Friday.

Say what you will about Elon’s management style, but before he took over all you guys posted was “ugh another day on this hell site” and now you’re all like “ah twitter the extraordinary place where I met all my best friends, started my career, had sex for the first time”
