Today is 02-22-2022. Today is +Twosday. + +Let\'s look at everything that fell in place today: + +1. Written in the `m-dd-yy` or `dd-m-yy` formats, + today is 2-22-22 or 22-2-22, which is a neat little palindrome in + either format. (The last ubiquitous six-digit palindrome was + 1-11-11.) +2. Today is Tuesday, which is why everyone is using the nickname + Twosday to call out these similarities. +3. Falling on Tuesday means today is the 2nd day of the week (for most + cultures. For the US, it\'s the 3rd day of the week since we start + on Sunday). +4. The only culture I could find with a connection to a `2` + is that some Slavic languages derived their version of Tuesday from + the Old Church Slavonic word `въторъ`, meaning \"the + second.\" +5. Written in the classic monospaced, digital font (think of digital + clocks from the 80s/90s), there is nice symmetry to the numbers + ([view the image + here](https://img.cleberg.net/blog/20220222-tuesday/digital_font.png)!). +6. This one isn\'t naturally-occurring, but it seems people around the + world are celebrating the day. For example, a group is putting + together + \[\[<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2-22-22-a-collective-wedding-ceremony-at-the-state-capitol-tickets-211434605597>\]\[a + wedding of 222 couples at the California State Capitol in + Sacramento\]\], concluding at exactly 2:22 PM. These couples will + record their marriage dates as 2-22-22 2:22 PM. Tickets were on sale + for \$222.22. |
