These are a few of my favorite tweets - April 2023 Edition
April fools, NBA playoffs, and silly animals cap yet another weird month
Gonna try some workarounds for this article! All the pictures are clickable, linking to the tweet, since the regular linking to Twitter from Substack is currently busted. Recommended you click the links for any of the videos, or… You won’t see videos! My intended low-effort article becomes high effort 🤣
April fools was a bit of a dud this year, but April did provide a number of amusing and interesting tweets, as every month does.
So without further ado, here is a smattering of my favorite April tweets:
1. The only good April fools tweet
Seriously, April fools tweets were just junk this year. Maybe we’re all cynical now and no company wants to take chances anymore. But Tesla lampooned one of my favorite gifs to also advertise that their Cybertruck refuses to crash due to its safety measures. Clever.
2. These were the days
Turn on the computer, wait 10 minutes, boot up counterstrike ~ the life.
3. Our brains are weird man
There’s a whole bunch of these in the linked thread - black and white lines creating weird illusions and your brain somehow fills in colors. How? Why? I don’t know. But it’s cool to get confirmation that our brain’s are all messed up.
4. Legendary Woj tweet
Woj is well known for his breaking sports news, and Gobert punching Kyle Anderson was such a bizarre situation, with this equally bizarre tweet to explain it.
5. Satirical verified tweets
This thread is a classic, lampooning the way many people engagement farm on twitter. Well worth the read.
Good satire always gets my respect.
6. I hate planking
Planking seems so easy at first, but after less than a minute I hate everything.
7. LinkedIn new unhinged feature
Soren creates all sorts of fake dystopian tech features - this one in particular would be particularly devious and yet quite useful!
8. Chicago Bulls MVP
This kid is a hero.
9. Birds aren’t real
Japan has all sorts of insanely adorable animals, this one is no exception. See also the Ezo Momonga (a Japanese flying squirrel).
10. Forbes sure knows how to pick ‘em
There’s been quite a few showcased Forbes 30 under 30 who have… Not quite lived up to their hype, to put it mildly.
11. An amazing show
This dragon fire is worth watching and imagining being in the audience for. Fortunately no one got hurt, so we can enjoy the wild and dramatic failure.
12. I like inflation jokes
This is a good inflation joke. I like it.
13. If you know you know
Bill Ackman is well known for making massive walls of text on Twitter. With the character length increase, who knows what kind of monstrosities will come!
14. SF has great glass replacement service
Many businesses are running away from SF, but the vehicle glass replacement business is thriving!
15. Whoopsies
Probably didn’t consider the implications of the wording before tweeting…
Until next time!

The flat globe one got me. 🤣
But you never know. We might live on a flat globe.
There are a lot of mysteries in this flat globe.
Don't underestimate, bro!(I used this word first time😆)
I like the last one best, great to have the awareness and act on it, unless it was intentionally made up (still good).
This was the first time I'd seen "engagement farm" as a term, so thanks for that.
it's a bit mind blowing the depth of knowledge you have on a number of topics, I appreciate that you share the way you do.
