He could have posted something about how the universe doesn't fit our preconceived ideas and how this day is an example of that and that this means you should dig deeper to get to the truth because it's usually a lot more complex than what it seems.

But no, Neil woke up and chose dumbassery

That's exactly what he's trying to do. He likes to poke holes at commonly accepted things in an attempt to make people think about stuff that they don't normally think about and make them ask why more often. This is a good thing. Unfortunately, it just comes across as annoying to a lot of people.

Umm, ackshully, Neil, it's called that because it makes each day on the calendar "leap" forward a day as a result.

I feel like in the future, a highly valued skill for anyone in a public facing role is gonna be learning to get off of Twitter/Microblogs.

How many people have ruined their own reputations by just giving the internet a constant stream of their inane thoughts? Regardless of if they deserve it or not.
