How do you handle time zone issues with the dates?

I’ve been curious how much news starts from social media. So many news stories today are “someone said x on twitter”.

I hope so. In my experience it's never that simple with dynamic data. Even with predictable data timezones cause issues. You're putting a lot of value in order in your visualizations.
