Tired of reading about current events? So am I. I prefer my media filtered through hilarious Twitter perspectives, thank you very much.
No matter how weird things get, Twitter is always there with a combination of social observations and hilariously poignant peeks into the lives of strangers that just keep you scrolling through for more.
Here is a selection of some of the finest new tweets of the era. Enjoy.

I don’t know if he’s a doctor, but I trust him.

14. Marshall law
What even is that place?
Glad Marshalls is reopening, summer wouldn’t have been the same without some slightly irregular fashions and obscure snacks.

13. Let’s get this bread
This is one of those “previously unsaid sentences in human history.”

12. Chatterbox
You sound like a good sister.
My baby brother has a stutter and sometimes gives up saying what he wants to say when he sees people are getting impatient but talks my ears offf. A few days ago we’re talking and he says “you understand me” with teary eyes. Guysss, idk if it’s possible to feel anymore love♥️♥️

I wish someone would look at me the way all dads look at mulch.

10. Bear with me
The real story is that Goldilocks broke into a broken home.
daddy bear: who’s been sleeping in my bed?
mommy bear: who’s been sleeping in my bed?
baby bear: why are you in separate beds wtf

8. Now kiss
I both love and desperately want to unsee this.
When a friend laughs at your joke and you are also laughing, that’s the moment: That’s when you go in for the kiss. pic.twitter.com/pDArh7MGsT

7. A sinking feeling
Nothing a little Skynyrd can’t fix.

6. Eyes on you
Ooo girl, show me that forehead.
I put on mascara to go to the supermarket today, like some sort of shameless, pandemic hussy.

I would pay a lot of money to have this ability.

4. Aging
I want to dance all night, or for maybe 3 minutes.
🎶 The butterfly, uh uh that’s old, let me see your tootsie roll 🎵
Me: Oh hell yeah! Time to hit the dance floor!! *instantly tears ACL*

3. A grander scale
It recognized the gravity of the situation.
I walked by my scale today and relatively sure it mumbled "oh fuck no"

2. Homeschool hustle
Whoever said “learning is fun” is a liar.
Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the summer break beyond homeschool.

1. Parameters
This sounds like an error message on a horribly damaged computer.
I helped my kids build a fort. Once established, they put up the following sign and announced "None of your features can enter these parameters! …I don't know what that means, but I mean it!" pic.twitter.com/UShvCluT1S

That last one has had me chuckling for days now. I especially love the tiny “state yur bizznes” at the bottom. These kids are serious, and I respect them.
