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:

Unsolicited career advice: Go to school for what you love, even if it won’t make you money. Study classic languages. Make a few really close friends. Go poisonous mushroom hunting together. Cover up the death of your close friend with a well timed blizzard.

I hate parents who take youth sports too seriously. Save that energy for pointing out minor inconsistencies in “The Mandalorian.”

I’m not arguing that an AR-15 isn’t fun to shoot but why do you need 5 in your living room? Go to a range. I love giraffes but there are rules about raising one in my yard. I have to go to a zoo whenever I want to fuck one.

Before you decide if the former president is responsible for the Capitol riots, remember that in America you’re innocent until proven guilty, then proven guilty again, then proven guilty again and they hold a hearing in primetime to show everyone how you’re really, really guilty.
