It’s Friday, May 7, 2021 and no…that doesn’t feel right? It’s May 7?
I could’ve sworn it was March 2020. Maybe it is. Who knows? Anyway, it’s Friday, baby! How ’bout that?
To celebrate the end of the week, we collected some of the tweets that made us laugh in the past seven days. Why? Because it’s nice to laugh, that’s why.
Let’s get to it. Here they are, our 12 favorite tweets of the week.
1. Oh this one’s a banger
2. You know what — and I say this with great love in my heart for the humble em dash — this one really hit me where it hurts and for that reason I am including it
what is an em dash, if not my run-on sentence persevering?

3. Sus!
One of the anti-maskers tries engaging with the high schoolers, asking where the Krusty Krab is.
The responses:
– “At the bottom of the ocean.”
– “Valet parking.”
– “Sus.”
– “The Krusty Krab is a metaphor for society.” pic.twitter.com/10l2A1kfoV— Samuel Braslow (@SamBraslow) May 3, 2021
4. A PERFECT story and perhaps the best day of this guy’s life
Remembering that time in grad school when my advisor, a great ornithologist, got a random call:
drunk guy, bar noises in background: IS THIS THE BIRD PROFESSOR?
my advisor: um..yes?
drunk guy: DO HUMMINGBIRDS HAVE FEET?
my advisor: …yes
*wild cheering over phone from bar*

5. OK, I wouldn’t call this one funny, per se, but it is important
Hey team. I had a side effect from the vaccine this weekend, and more people should be aware of it. I hung out with friends several times and didn’t feel like I was risking public health. Also the weather was nice. The CDC isn’t talking about this but you deserve to know
