We're already halfway through the first month of 2021. How? I don't know. But we are.

To celebrate another week in the books, we've collected our favorite tweets of the week. Why? Because times are strange — very strange and kind of bad — and it's helpful to laugh at some good posts. So, anyway, here they are, our 11 favorite tweets from this week.

1. Look at this work-skipping genius killing it

2. Oompa Loompa doopity pie

3. This is a perfect reference to James Harden and the U.S.'s second impeachment of the same president

4. Why would someone do this? Just...why?

5. Here's an immaculate reference made during the whole State Department website, Donald-Trump-is-out-of-office-but-not-really fiasco

6. This meme is not wrong

7. HISTORY

8. I... it's just...it's perfect

9. Obligatory Dril tweet

10. This is a twofer but I needed to include "He's fucking shredded, you slob."

11. And finally, when you gotta post, you gotta post even if you're banned from nearly every social media site
