Be excellent to each other.
Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option.

My high school in NZ was pretty poor, so even in the early 00s, we still had Cold War-era maps of Europe in textbooks and on the wall, and no access to the internet (computers were taught to us as glorified typewriters). It took until I was older than I care to admit to learn that Czechoslovakia was no longer a thing.

When I graduated HS, the map on the wall in our history class still had "French West Africa" on it (textbooks were at least more up to date :-)) "French West Africa" hadn't existed for . . . looks it up . . . about a quarter century before then.

Damn, before I was even born!
