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:

If Goofy shows up to your party and he's dressed like a normal man from the '90s or 2000s, you might be okay. If he's got his vest and his stupid green hat… buddy, you're already fucked

Thinking about how my sister’s college friend was nicknamed “Burgers” cause one time he talked about grilling burgers too enthusiastically. You have to be careful

I texted a friend asking if he wanted to do something, and rather than giving an excuse, he simply wrote back "sorry, I'm not interested in doing that" and I think what we all need now is his therapist's phone number.

My fiancé is listening to nonstop country music. I’d threaten to leave him but I’m afraid the heartbreak would just inspire more country music.

We don’t need gun control. We just need to avoid churches, malls, supermarkets, mosques, concerts, synagogues, cinemas, parks, pre-schools, middle schools, high schools, college campuses, mass transportation, the outdoors in general… (1/513)

Some people say we should leave abortion rights up to states. I say, why stop there? Why not leave it up to counties, cities, neighborhoods, or—and this would really be fun—individual people?

If Democrats can't stop Republican lawmakers from making it easy for Republican mass murderers to get their hands on assault weapons, then I have no choice but to vote Republican in 2022.
