You may not have known that it was happening, but for 11 minutes on Thursday afternoon you, and every other person on this planet, were free from the rantings, lies, and bullshit from Donald Trump on Twitter. This was, quite possibly, the best 11 minutes of 2017.
It happened just before 4 pm PT when the internet noticed that something was different and amazing.

Turns out, a heroic Twitter employee decided to forego the normal routine of their last day on the job (stealing toilet paper and office supplies) to instead shut down Trump’s account.
Earlier today @realdonaldtrump’s account was inadvertently deactivated due to human error by a Twitter employee. The account was down for 11 minutes, and has since been restored. We are continuing to investigate and are taking steps to prevent this from happening again.

I guess that maybe explains the weird eleven minutes earlier where I suddenly didn't feel the crushing inevitability of oblivion

But now the world’s biggest Twitter troll is back and, welp…
Pocahontas just stated that the Democrats, lead by the legendary Crooked Hillary Clinton, rigged the Primaries! Lets go FBI & Justice Dept.

At least we’ll always have those eleven magical minutes.
My Twitter account was taken down for 11 minutes by a rogue employee. I guess the word must finally be getting out-and having an impact.
