There's something weird happening on Twitter involving PBS anchor Gwen Ifill, and nobody seems to know what's going on.

Starting around 2pm, a series of seemingly unrelated Twitter accounts posted tweets that simply read "f gwenifill."

Because nobody has anything better to do on this Tuesday afternoon than make conjectures about a dumb Twitter hack, the Twitterverse is a-buzz with theories about the origins of the f gwenifill tweet. Was it an attempt at a #ff gone horribly wrong? Some disgruntled PBS intern wanting to publicly curse Ms. Ifill? A clever, high-tech ploy by Ms. Ifill to up her Twitter presence?

Who knows! But let's just follow Ms. Ifill anyway, because she's cool.
