I realise this isn’t really tumblr, but this entire stream just made me laugh so much I thought it deserved a wider audience.
Looks like the account posted no in the morning and he died in the evening, at least by UTC. So it’s not entirely wrong.
Which is a huge blunder - seeing how it says “today” in the title.
To be fair, it’s asking “Did Jimmy Carter die today?” not “Will Jimmy Carter have died today?”
Yeah, why wouldn’t you post it always towards the end of the day instead.

I must be missing something, cause “CJ” to me is the Press Secretary from The West Wing, and I don’t remember her having to follow a train…
Unless this is one of those weird episodes they never broadcast? (“Bartlett and Cregg, PI” ?)

See – that makes more sense.
Although now I kind of want to see the former President and his ex chief of staff solving crimes and chasing trains…
I thought it was just a reference to the fact that big smoke says the same line every time you fail which was incredibly infuriating if you fail multiple times in a row.
“REALLY BIG SMOKE!? THAT’S ALL I HAD TO DO!? FOLLOW THE TRAIN!? ALL YO BITCH ASS HAD TO DO WAS SHOOT THOSE MFER’S YET HERE WE ARE”
Then that piece of shit betrays us.
Big Smoke is THE asshole through the game so him repeating that line fits very well.
Do these type of novelty account usually end up working in the end? Never having used Twitter myself, the only times I have ever seen them is times like this when they end up missing the relevant event, and screenshots of that end up on other platforms like this here.
I assume the owner set up a script to post “no” every day. Nothing more complex like trying to auto-read news posts to find a relevant one or something.
The owner just didn’t see the news in time to stop the bot.
I admit this is the first one I’ve seen.
I might set one up for “the end of the world”
Has the world ended today?
No. No. No. No. No.
Because on the day the world explodes… yeah, hold on… I’m starting to see the flaw in this plan.
Go ahead and do it!
When the world really does end, it’s not like anyone will be there to snarkily post “yeah but it DID so you’re wrong” so you get the last laugh, posthumously.
Elon will reply sarcastically from mars
The biggest “you had one job” fail since the interrupting MARTA bus.
The fuckin community notes made me actually laugh
Yuh-huh
Could be a time zone thing. In the time zone of the novelty account the death could have happened on the previous date
There’s also the [People Twitter][email protected]/) too
