There's no way around it: Twitter's been a bit of a mess lately. Just last week they removed blue checks from anyone who isn't paying for Twitter Blue. Y'know, besides the likes of LeBron James, Dril, and Stephen King. It's a funny grift, and there were plenty of accounts having a field day with their new place as "normal" Twitter users. While we were kind of terrified about what our feed would look like after the axe fell (Elon Musk said our For You pages would be all verified), we've still been seeing a lot of the funny, stupid, and controversial viral content that we come to Twitter for. And while we've also been enduring a lot of blue checks being insufferable, and the usual political diatribes, things could definitely be worse.

Instead of complaining about how Twitter "used to be" and lying to people by saying we're leaving, we're choosing to highlight the good parts of the "bird app." Y'know, the dumb jokes, silly anecdotes, and funny memes that people are churning out on a daily, or hourly basis. This collection has a little bit of all of the above, and while they may not be the best tweets we've ever seen, you won't have to stomach the awful tweets that pepper the already-tiring Twitter experience.
