These are a few of my favorite tweets - Feb 2023 Edition

Somewhere in the cesspool of terrible takes and screaming, there are some gems

Since I spend an embarassing amount of time on Twitter, I thought I would collect some of my favorite tweets I ran across this month, just to justify to myself that Twitter isn’t always terrible and my time isn’t always completley wasted. I’ll likely make this a monthly article since it’s easy to write and a fun way to recap the month for me. Perhaps your tweet will be featured!

1. The best use of AI

Vortex @voretecks

presidential overwatch debate (the sequel)

This is my absolute favorite trend with AI tools - using AI to generate realistic sounding conversations between famous people in ridiculous scenarios. This particular sketch has Joe Biden vs Donald Trump, flaming each other in Overwatch. Instant classic.

2. A brilliantly evil idea

gaut @0xgaut

Green bubble tweets if you don't pay for Twitter Blue Collab w/ @danielcberk

Twitter shitposter @0xgaut consistently churns out hilarious, dystopian product ideas, and this particular one was extra evil. The green bubble is the bane of every group chat, making poor android users feel ostracized and annoying every iPhone user. Shame sells.

Plus I got featured in his mockup, and flattery gets you everywhere!

3. Average user of each social media app

_Muffin @JustinScerini

Instagram users putting on a fake happy face and pointlessly angry Twitter users pretending to be smarter than everyone else just completley nails it.

4. Cats being nice to each other

Gabriele Corno @Gabriele_Corno

Breakfast at Tiffany's

I’ve had multiple cats before, but I’ve never seen cats act nicely to each other like this. Just a lot of hissing and ignoring each other.

Quite wholesome.

5. A terrible map of Oklahoma

Terrible Maps @TerribleMaps

Oklahoma if it was used to express feelings

This is just stupid. I love it.

6. Perfect targeted ad for crypto bros

Theboimerch7 @theboimerch7

Targeted ads def getting better @elonmusk 🎯

There was a lot of chatter this month about how bad Twitter’s targeted ads are. But apparently upgrades were made, and this ad perfectly targeted us crypto bros losing all our money last year.

The ad itself is pretty mid, but the targeting is S-tier.

7. Billionaires are just like us

Marc Andreessen @pmarca

By popular demand, my morning routine: * Wake up 3 minutes before my first Zoom meeting.

It’s nice to know that billionaire VC’s like Marc Andreessen and myself have the same morning routine.

8. …Well, some billionaires

Elon Musk @elonmusk

Say what you want about me, but I acquired the world’s largest non-profit for $44B lol

I do hope Twitter can become profitable at some point 🤣

9. Fishing is hard

NO CONTEXT HUMANS 👤 @HumansNoContext

Pure comedy. No explanation needed.

10. More AI generated stupid shit

zach silberberg @zachsilberberg

i spent way too long on this

zach silberberg @zachsilberberg

also dont get it twisted: AI art is bad. using AI tools to make stupid bullshit is ok

Zach’s one-two punch of a perfectly realistic sounding AI generated argument between Joe Rogan and Ben Shapiro and tongue-and-cheek gatekeeping of proper AI usage is perfection.

11. Eel historian gets his shot

Surprised Eel Historian, PhD @greenleejw

Guys. It’s happening.

I don’t know anything about the Eel Historian account, or why there is an eel historian… But I really enjoy these self-contained tweets that give you all the context you need.

12. Inspiring words from Ricky Gervais

Ricky Gervais @rickygervais

Whenever you’re feeling down about life and thinking that no one cares, just remember you’ll be dead soon and none of this will matter. Have a great day ❤️

Sums up my life philosophy pretty well.

Until next week!
