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.
