Twitter

X, formerly Twitter, seems to be going down the drain. Not just in obvious ways  There used to be a number of accounts which tweeted the Republican calendar date daily. Together, they have thousands of followers! I don't know if they're cracking down on bots, or raising prices, or what, but they've been shutting down over the past few months. 

The only one left posting in English I know of is @FrenchCalendar. Not a bot, but a nerd, who writes lengthy articles about each date. Today's is about barrels.

@gibus posts in French, nothing fancy, but he does post the decimal time, although it's always the exact same time, 1:31:20 decimal, every day…
