Here they are, the good tweets from last week. Some of them are exceptionally good; others, very good; most, at least pretty good. One of them is really just plain great, in my opinion, though I’ll grant that my judgment may be a bit off, as I have been awake ever since I saw Hereditary on Friday night. Spooky stuff! Especially one bit in particular, but also several other bits. No spoilers. A lot of people are saying that you should see it in the daytime, to avoid rowdy audience members laughing and jesting through it at night, but I say a daytime screening and there were loud teens talking the whole time. So, not sure what the lesson is to be gleaned here, but at the very least I can tell you this: Don’t see it when your roommate is away for the weekend, leaving you the apartment to yourself, oh god don’t do that. Okay, I think I’ve hit my minimum word count:

extremely confused by this trend of republicans indignantly saying shit like “i don’t even recognize my party anymore!” in response to things that republicans have been doing for like 100 years
I don’t want to spoil it, but I thought the ending of Ocean’s 8 was smart: Anne Hathaway looks at the camera and whispers, “I’ve never been bad in a movie before and you know it.”
me: greek life is a plague that preys on young people’s fear of social failure. it is imperative we ban fraternities and sororities and end the toxic culture surrounding them
also me: my college sketch group is the most important thing i’ve done with my life
Colin Jost is dating Scarlett Johansson and Pete Davidson is dating Ariana Grande and every female comedian is like, “I wonder if I can get this pile of sweatshirts to commit to me.”
I’ve been blessed with many things in life, family, friends, love, success, but there’s not one thing I’m prouder of than the secret sound wave weapon I invented, sold first to the Cubans, and now the Chinese
I’ve never seen Weekend at Bernie’s, but from what I know about it, there’s no reason to make him dead instead of merely unconscious. The decision to kill him seems inspired by glee, rather than by narrative utility
