Yes, we all love books here. In fact, you should probably be reading one instead of this website, but come on. You’re on the toilet or the subway right now. That’s no time for mind-expanding fiction.
Sometimes, you want to unwind with a few funny short jokes. Thankfully, that’s really all anyone is posting on Twitter these days (unless you count all the un-Democratic misinformation. There’s always room for that on social media.).
Not everyone is built to write the next great American novel. Some people like to fit their genius ideas into a tweet under 240 characters. That’s good for everyone. We don’t always have the attention span for a long, drawn-out essay about our first sexual experience or a reflection on the pervasive ennui that affects all novelists. None of these people have the attention span to write anything longer, I promise you.
Unless we’re counting a half-hour comedy spec script. Many of the people below have a ton of those. For now, let’s read the funny tweets that deserve a Pulitzer.
Here are the funniest tweets I had time to find this week:

I'd really enjoy it if Will Smith just spent the next ten years sneaking into the Oscars in really bad costumes like Gene Parmesan in Arrested Development.

tumblr was a great place to get told "in case nobody's told you so today, you are LOVED and VALID" by someone who would leak your home address and social security number if you liked a show they hated

Charles Darwin married his cousin. His first cousin! And had ten children with her. That’s love right there. If ANYONE should’ve known all the reasons not to make children with your cousin, it’s Charles Darwin! But he did it anyway, that romantic son of a bitch!
