Yesterday’s Twitter Failure Caused by Tear in Space-Time

There was chaos yesterday, when Roger Mills, a real estate broker in New Hampshire, tried to send a tweet that was a retweet of a reply to a direct message of an @ reply, causing the universe to cave in on itself. The universe collapsed and twisted in the middle, a little like a sausage [...]
