Mods, would it possible to keep this story up?

The Twitter thread got buried mostly by flags and the flamewar detector, and though we usually override those penalties when it's clear that another discussion will just take its place, sometimes we're sleeping off another political controversy.

We'll avoid marking this one as a duplicate and try to merge the discussions as best we can.

I don't think any thread should get a guaranteed 24h exposure. Either the comments and upvotes justify it or they don't.

Otherwise I'd like a guarantee that we Europeans get to see all those interesting stories that broke 12h earlier.
