Employers: We can't find anyone to work for us🥺
Americans: Will you pay us more?
Employers: No! Also, write us a custom letter about why working for us would be your life's passion hehe:)
If we want to raise the money to buy twitter back and put it in the hands of the people, we’re going to have to put on the greatest talent show this town’s ever seen
Me: I need to go to the doctor. How much will that cost?
My insurance: If it's a doctor that you seek to see, answer my here riddles three / Go to the wrong one and in debt you'll be / But which one is right? You won't hear from me
Tech giants are feeling the effects of Apple making it harder to track people online. This week, Meta said those changes cost it billions this year. Then its stock price fell more than 26% on Thursday, wiping more than $230 billion off its market value.
If The Leftovers happened in 2020 it’d be a single episode where everyone just said “It’s only 2% of the population, who cares?” and then the series was over
My apartment complex wanted to raise our rent $269 and refused to seriously negotiate so we decided to leave and now they’re trying to find new tenants to fill it for a rent price even lower than what we would’ve agreed to. This is a classic business tactic called “losing money”
Charlie Kirk: "I never liked Larry David. He is not the brains of the operation of Seinfeld ... he's your typical kind of New York Woody Allen-type that is constantly complaining"
I went to bed thinking about Her and woke up thinking about Her. The part where she gets mad for being heckled during the unsolicited performance…. Omfg
I’m so scared of TikTok. Every video I see is of a teenager saying something like “your grandma asking you for a ride to the doctor is a symptom of late-stage capitalism” and it has 10,000 comments like “I NEVER THIS KNEW BUT IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE”
Love is Blind is so good. They took 10 people with absolutely childlike ideas of what it means to be in love/in a relationship & convinced them it’s deep to get married to someone they can’t stand just because they dated for 3 days without seeing each other. I’d watch 10 seasons
The year is 2035. Apple, Amazon, Disney, and Discovery have all formed into one mega-corp that produces the last remaining TV show — a reality show where teen mothers compete against each other in a dance-off to win a year of health care coverage. Life is bad ❤️
People who post things like “exciting possibilities in the works!” are the bravest people in the world. I do not trust that anything good is ever going to happen to me until it’s 100% confirmed and I’m literally experiencing it, and even then I’m still not fully convinced.
The rich & powerful get top-notch care and experimental drugs to recover from the virus they caught due to their own negligence while average Americans who caught it because they were forced to go to work die
BREAKING—Chris Christie was not only hospitalized, but he was in the ICU for 7-days... and he got special VIP access to Eli Lily’s synthetic monoclonal antibody drug direct from the manufacturer (it’s not available to general public since it’s not FDA approved). That’s privilege.

When I was in HS, a girl was shunned & made fun of school-wide for being overweight. Adults called it an inevitable part of the HS experience. She never got a NY Mag article. When a boy shares nudes of a girl & kids choose to shun him for it, why is it suddenly cancel culture?
They dropped the price another $50 this morning 🤪🤪🤪 which is crazy because they insisted our $269 rent increase was still a great deal because they had internally valued our apartment at “several hundred dollars more”
This is a small change, but a big move for us. 140 was an arbitrary choice based on the 160 character SMS limit. Proud of how thoughtful the team has been in solving a real problem people have when trying to tweet. And at the same time maintaining our brevity, speed, and essence!
@hollis_jane
@naanking
Hard to say which part of this prompted the biggest reaction from me. “Magically transform into a cleaning nazi” is the obvious choice, but “RUN with them, do not stop them running ever” is an understated line
Already seeing some people take this tweet in bad faith & twist it into me saying she’s beyond reproach. No politician is perfect & every politician should be criticized. If you’re not someone who hates her solely bc she appeals to ppl u think are normies then this isn’t about u
After telling everyone Tomi’s new book “Never Play Dead” was the story of the time she survived a bear attack by a democratic bear and they believed it, I’ve decided Tomi needed to have a change of heart and retire from the site forever.
@lizweil
Come to think of it, we also had another girl whose nudes were leaked when I was in middle school. The boy who leaked them got a slap on the wrist, while the girl became so ostracized that she had to switch schools. I wonder why there was no cover story for her...?

Since people are curious, this is a corporate management company. They don’t know us personally and they stick to the rules above all. They described their business model as similar to an internet company’s where new clients get better introductory rates for the first year lol
“I’ve never seen anyone do that” cool, I’m happy for you, I have 👍 “I dislike her for a different reason” awesome, then this tweet wasn’t about you 👍 muting now
@MNateShyamalan
Interns don’t tweet for huge corporate brand accounts. What’s funnier is this tweet was probably done by a mid-level social media manager who had to go through several rounds of approval to post this
Looking for a website where everyone is miserable & in competition with each other to make the most deranged broad statements w/ unearned confidence. Ideally it’d be something I’d feel compelled to check every single day and make myself angry every time. Lmk if u have suggestions
"both should be closed" - arguable, not the point
"kids could go play elsewhere" - also not the point, this is a tweet about how our government makes decisions based on money not safety, leave me alone
I’ve noticed that Gen Z has an extremely loose concept of what qualifies as “rich.” Pls know that when we talk about the unethically rich, we’re mostly talking about billionaires rather than like, a childless 25 year old with enough disposable income to have a Disney annual pass
My son Glorbus got bullied at school today for being awful and the only thing that will make him feel better is seeing his mommy go viral. Can I get some RT’s to show Glorbus there are still people in the world who love his mommy’s twitter??

Me and my girlies have been uncontrollably pissing and shitting when we’re around unvaccinated people. Needs more investigation, but concerning.

Twitter is really not the place for personal stuff like this but I just got our wedding photos and I’m feral. I’ll reactivate a MySpace account to post these. I’m gonna print them and tape them on lampposts throughout the city. Carrier pigeon. I’m obsessed.
@HPluvcat
I’d feel better if it was personal, honestly! But they don’t know us at all, even though we’ve lived here 6 years. Big corporate management that won’t budge the rules for anything, even if it would benefit them.
Seeing Volodymyr Zelenskyy in all these videos has to be pretty surreal. Like can you imagine if we elected Julia Louis Dreyfus president after Veep and then one day saw her wearing fatigues on the ground of a war telling the world she needs more ammo
At my middle school, a girl sent nudes to a boy who then leaked the pictures. He got a slap on the wrist while the girl's life was ruined. She became so ostracized she had to switch schools. Yet, no cover story in NY Mag framing her as a victim or calling it cancel culture.
I'll use this as a chance to "plug" that in order to keep said health insurance I still need to make the WGA minimum this year, so if you'd like to read a sample for staffing/freelance purposes, here's my WGA profile and P.S. unions rock:

paranoia is bedbugs I need someone with credentials to tell me how much I have to actually worry about this because I swear to god the psychosomatic itching began the moment I read these tweets 😭
if bedbugs have infested paris, and all the fashion week people cause an outbreak in major american cities, then i need to tell all of my friends right now that i am going to be absolutely insufferable about precautions. if you thought i was annoying about covid get fucking ready
Chris D’elia thinking people were distracted enough by the slap that he could use it to soft launch a return to twitter is easily the funniest thing to happen tonight
This tweet is how I learned that there’s an active lawsuit against my property management company, AvalonBay, amongst others, alleging they used software to conspire with other landlords to drive rent prices up.
Also a great time to mention that as a

in their strike. They deserve affordable health care, as we all do. In a world where that isn't provided by our government, I'm grateful to my union for fighting for us to have it.
this tweet has now blown up enough that I've started getting hate from people which is honestly the funniest and most accurate encapsulation of this site ever

"I've never seen Star Wars," I say, sending the man next to me into cardiogenic shock. "I've never seen it!" I repeat. The men flail, foam at the mouth, form boils. I go over the loud speaker and scream it to the masses. All the men have disintegrated. The world is mine now.

American insurance has "in-network" & "out-of-network" doctors. so if you go to an out-of-network Dr., they'll cover less. There's also specific rules around how to go- for example, if you need a specialist, some insurers require you get a referral from your primary care first
I kid you not, last night I went to THIS chipotle and got served by this kid. I was like “so have people been shoving cameras in your face with that rumor?” and this guy was like “some dude literally came in with a go pro.” Never in my life did I imagine I’d see the video 😭
Back in the day, comedy could be daring (talking about how annoying my wife is). These days, due to cancel culture, comedy must be “safe” (talking about how my wife left me)
