The Funniest Tweets of the Week

Some notes on this week: baseball’s back, for some reason, and the biggest new trend sweeping the majors is COVID-19. Multiple games have been postponed due to multiple positive tests, including like half the Miami Marlins, who were already a major league team in spirit only. The pandemic continues to disrupt every aspect of modern life, with no end in warning, and no coherent leadership coming from the institutions we’d typically look to during such a crisis. Also there’s a new Muppets show on TV. I don’t know, even the concept of a week has broken down, to the point where I can’t tell if I’m writing this intro right now or if I wrote it last month. It’s all been one long, uninterrupted blur since March and we’ll be wading through it for months to come still. I wish for the best for you and yours during these trying times, and hey, here are some tweets. Follow the tweeters, if you can. Thank you.

The thing I will miss most about the Olympics this year is idly turning on a sport I’ve never seen before, and ten minutes later muttering ‘my god she’s going to need more than a 4.7 if she wants to wrestle her title back from the Hungarian’

my favorite thing about sports in 2020 is that every league did a massive overhaul of its rules and regulations in no time flat, trying to squeeze out a compromised version of its product, proving that they’re all just as fake as professional wrestling.
