The Funniest Tweets of the Week

Sure, the west continues to slide closer towards fascism, and our democracy is facing an unparalleled crisis where one of two parties has fully embraced lawlessness and is now openly talking about a third term for their grease-stained Takhomasak of a president, but at least we have an app devoted solely to constantly reminding us about all of this to keep us company. Okay, one out of every 2000 or so tweets isn’t a huge flashing arrow pointed directly at whatever makes you most angry, sad or afraid, and those rare drizzlings of quality laffs is pretty much the only reason to not throw your twitter machine directly into the sun. It’s not healthy or right to forget about Trump or the UK election or everything else terrible in the world today, but it might be healthy to try and wring some grim chucks out of all this monstrosity. Here’s where the tweets come in. These are our faves for the week, a particularly terrible week, all things considered.
