What Comey didn’t anticipate was QAnon conspiracy theorists latching onto the tweet, which ultimately forced the Grass Valley Charter School Foundation to cancel its Blue Marble Jubilee, a fundraiser that had been scheduled to take place on Saturday. Yes, really.

The collective’s beliefs are based on cryptic missives from an anonymous forum poster, Q, who claims to have high-level governmental security clearance, as well as the hare-brained codebreaking efforts of Q’s devotees.

They were busy at work on the #FiveJobsIveHad tweet from Comey. Behold:
