I always have and always will love you

Tweeted during the initial airing of Episode 10. The account was blanked shortly after this tweet.
Because looking through tweets on Twitter proper is kind of annoying, especially because it localizes timezones and it's hard to search (I know advanced search exists but it's a lot nicer if it's all loaded on one page if you're just digging around an individual timeline like this). Also this way it can be annotated with notes/annalysis more easily.
Still lacking much actual context for the contents of their Twitter, a lot of the TLs could easily be off, so keep that in mind. As always, I would strongly recommend referrencing the original Japanese directly if you want to make inferences/analysis based on things like word choice. I didn't make all the connections/discoveries noted in the notes sections independently, but I've collected, verified and added to them from various sources. I've also added a ring around the avatar with Reo and Mabu's respective character colors just to make it easier to parse at a glance. This is a work in progress.
Dates in parenthesis are the speculated "real" timeline. The full date is the actual posting date.
For a general point of reference, Reo and Mabu's police box is located across the street from a real police box in the Niimi Cooker building:
Its appearence has changed a bit between the manga and anime. Also of note, it is the precise point at which the otter mark appears and spreads from in the overhead view of Asakusa in the opening sequence.
Yes, please feel free to make a copy to write up your own translation, theories, or annotations (that said, obviously I don't own the original content). Just don't translate my translation because that's a recipe for disaster, especially when we know so little about what's going on.

こんな腐った世界でも俺は欲望を手放さない
#玲央
I'm not letting go of desire, not even in this rotten world
#Reo
くそっ、どこにいんだよ!?
#玲央
Shit, where the hell are you?!
#Reo
この街の平和は俺たちが守る
#真武
We're going to keep the peace in this town
#Mabu
While the sentiment is similar, this isn't actually identical to his first tweet. It's 平和 instead of 治安 here and generically この街 instead of 浅草 specifically.
Location: Overlooking Hanayashiki and again the Skytree should be visible if this was a modern shot. Best guess for where he's standing is the top of the Asakusa View Hotel, but it's hard to tell for sure.
The vantage point looks suspiciously close to the former location of Ryounkaku as well.

The same alley from the cat photo on Friday, February 22, 2019, 9:19:00 PM
I think my phrasing here confused some people. I mean "out" in the sense of not acceptable/no longer an option/not viable/out of the question/etc, I'd honestly prefer to go with something more specific but we still don't really know exactly what the implications of the otter marks are

But he was called out again the following day.

I don't think I captured this very well in my translation, but Reo sounds a little irritated here with Mabu for presumably disappearing for the day without telling him.

確かに、気づかないうちに増えているな
#真武
They really have been spreading right under our noses
#Mabu
Location: Kototoi Bridge again
I feel like no matter how I phrase this it sounds off in English, so to clarify: he's reaffirming (context-wise I'd assume information from the phone call Mabu got) that there are suddenly a lot more of the otter marks (whatever they are meant to signify here) than there had been previously (none as far as we knew until Mabu noticed that one), and I'm not sure the implication of 気づかないうちに here is that they, like, weren't doing their jobs or slacking off necessarily (although it could be) so much as something that happened fairly quickly (so perhaps more like they spread a lot before it caught their attention vs while they weren't paying attention––but plausibly could be either)
朝だ

#Reo

Got a call from the higher-ups

I believe this is Mabu's phone. We did see it before when Reo comments on his lockscreens and Mabu's subsequent Tweet makes it sound like he picked up, not Reo.

Thought I'd take a shot at making this recipe
#Mabu
The dish Mabu has made here is Chirashi Sushi, which is a typical Girl's Day/Hinamatsuri dish.
ひなまつりって俺らあんまり関係ないよなー
#玲央
Girl's Day, huh. Isn't very relevant to us, is it?
#Reo
Of note, Girl's Day/Hinamatsuri is celebrated on March 3rd, so more evidence for the 2008 theory and the leap day setting all the March dates off by one.

#真武
Something seems different today
#Mabu
Same location as Mabu's very first tweet. It took me a while to actually see it, but this is the first time an otter mark appears in the Twitter timeline. (If you can't find it)
朝だ
#真武
Morning
#Mabu
If this really is meant to be happening in 2008 either every day in March is off by one (since 2008 was a leap year, which would make this actually Feb 29th and the following day March 1st) or they skipped Feb 29th. I'm sorta leaning toward the former because it makes Mabu's Tweet on the 15th (possibly actually the 14th) make more sense if it's meant to happen on White Day.
ふきのとうか。ブロッコリーが良かった…
#玲央
Fukinotou, huh? Couldn't have just gone with broccoli...?

Fukinotou is an edible flower bud, it's an early spring delicacy

Wow! There's so much tempura I can't even see the rice. Though, I mean, your soba's delicious too so I'd be happy to eat it every day

巡回中、月が綺麗だ。
#真武
On patrol. The moon is beautiful.
#Mabu
"The moon is beautiful" can be a euphemism for "I love you" in Japanese. I think it's debatable whether that's the intent here (Reo is not with him in this tweet, and if Mabu did intend it that way Reo doesn't seem to have understood the reference). Not saying it couldn't be, but it's far from clear.

あっぶねー、買って帰る。ありがとな。てか、ブロッコリーのその数え方初めて知ったわ
#玲央
Glad I asked. I'll pick some up on my way home. Thanks. As an aside, I never knew you counted broccoli as stalks before
#Reo
I actually don't know if you call them stalks in English (not sure what else you'd call them though), but Reo's referencing the counter (for those unfamiliar with Japanese, there are specific counters for various categories of item).
今確認したが、残り1株だな。
#真武
I just checked and we only have one stalk left.

Got some New Year's cards
#Reo
If you look closely at the stamp on the card with its back-side peaking out at us, you can see that it has a stamp design from 2008 (you can't see the full year but compare here, and it's also got a little design for the year of the rat and the last one of those was 2008)
Also, this is the first time the ㋐ mark shows up on their feed.

Also it did in fact rain on December 22nd in 2007 (though it also rained in 2018)
This tweet might have some connection to the first novel's "interlude" chapter titled, aptly, "Rain". (Spoiler note: this segment may or may not appear in the anime, it's positioned after chapter 3 in the novel, which should match up with episode 3 in the anime.)

Apparently today is "good meat day". When I stopped to buy croquettes while I was on patrol the woman at the shop gave me some for free.
#Mabu
Like Reo says in the following tweet, usually this is on the 29th of November, but if you follow the same logic as the cucumber day thing, you can see how 12/9 might work too.

そう、あれはまだ俺がカッパ橋の「白いジャックナイフ」と呼ばれていた頃。スプーンとパスポートしか持っていなかった俺は途方に暮れていた。道端で牛とカレーの可能性について語りあっていた時、どこからともなくいい匂いがして振り向くと、カレーの王子が微笑みかけていた。
#真武
Yes, it was back when I was still called the White Jackknife of Kappabashi. All I had on me was a spoon and my passport, and not not the faintest idea of where I was going. As I was discussing the potential of cows and curry along the roadside, an impossibly delicious smell wafted over me, and when I turned to look where it was coming from I was greeted by the smile of the Prince of Curry.
#Mabu
俺はカレーの可能性を信じている。なのに玲央はシチューが食べたいという。シチューももちろんうまい。冬の定番だ。だがしかし二日目のカレーに勝るものはない。ちなみに我が家のカレーには隠し味としてりんごとチョコレートとバナナが入っている。俺はこの味にたどり着くためにインドへ飛んだ。
I believe in the potential of curry. But Reo says he wants to eat stew. Stew, of course, is delicious too––a winter staple no less––but it can't hold a candle to day-old curry. Speaking of which, my personal curry recipe is seasoned with apples, chocolate and banana. I flew all the way to India to develop the recipe.

#真武
Went looking for Reo when he disappeared during patrol and found him trying to waste money at a tableware shop, so I took him into custody. We already have that teacup at home. Stop trying to collect every little thing that catches your eye. What are you, a crow?
#Mabu
Teacup: The teacup he picked up here appears in the anime (ref1, ref2). The cups also appear in the manga but Reo's 欲望 cup is white. This could just be a color error (although other minor details were corrected for the tankobon release), but Mabu does say that Reo already has one such cup at home. Perhaps this is when/where he got the black version.
