69 Tweets About This Hot (Literally) Mess Of A Summer

1.

Of course, we started off the summer with pride and this A+ meme.

2.

We got through the terrifying (and heartbreaking) ordeal of Stranger Things 4.

3.

And found humor even in the sad parts.

4.

Though some people kept forgetting the name.

5.

Or making up new ones.

6.

We figured out Stranger Things had more in common with High School Musical than we’d ever realized.

7.

And became just as obsessed with “Master of Puppets” as “Running Up That Hill.”

8.

We discovered Joker 2 would be a musical.

9.

And a romance??

10.

Who knows what the genre actually is at this point, TBH.

11.

We also learned that Lady Gaga was costarring.

12.

Someone randomly decided Zendaya was pregnant.

13.

Only to find out it was completely made up.

14.

We celebrated the fathers who raised us.

15.

And the fathers who are fathers dozens (hyperbole) of times over.

16.

We saw the effects of global warming.

17.

We got a little sick of the “they’re a 10 but” memes.

18.

Though there were still some fun twists on the format.

19.

We started an uproar over Kim Kardashian potentially damaging Marilyn Monroe’s dress.

20.

And worried over what she might damage next.

21.

We all collectively tried to figure out the plot of Barbie.

22.

And decided we were excited for the film no matter what.

23.

We speculated about the Funny Girl mess.

24.

Including the fact that former Glee costar Jane Lynch left before Lea took over.

25.

Which dredged up this old gem.

26.

We witnessed the Doja Cat/Noah Schnapp drama.

27.

And learned Noah could not be trusted with a secret.

28.

We wondered what Joseph Quinn thought of it all.

29.

We freaked out over Elon Musk buying Twitter, and then discovered he was a total liar.

30.

Which of course led to jokes.

31.

We made jokes about how stupid the backlash to student loan forgiveness is.

32.

And laughed at the FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago.

33.

We continued to deal with COVID.

34.

Along with monkeypox, and rising healthcare costs.

35.

And awful heat waves.

36.

Which were absolutely unbearable.

37.

We dealt with record gas prices.

38.

And all of those things together.

39.

We learned Shakira may not have paid her taxes.

40.

And that she’s going to have to go to court for it.

41.

We saw J.Lo and Ben’s love story re-blossom, culminating in a wedding…and Dunkin’s role in it.

42.

Meanwhile, we witnessed the downfall of Kim and Pete.

43.

And speculated who he would date next.

44.

We learned about the stupid term “quiet quitting.”

45.

We followed every piece of Don’t Worry Darling drama.

46.

And tried to speculate what Florence is thinking.

47.

We anxiously awaited the premiere.

48.

But before we were all talking about Don’t Worry Darling, we were all talking about Ezra Miller and the related DC/Batgirl drama.

49.

Along with the HBO Max drama.

50.

We wondered if we were witnessing its demise.

51.

We may not have gotten to see Batgirl, but we did have the chance to see Morbius again in theaters.

52.

We heard all about Taylor Swift’s jet emissions.

53.

We found out Sydney Sweeney’s family may be Republicans after some family photos were posted.

54.

But are we really surprised?

55.

With all the Euphoria cast controversies, we started to become concerned that Zendaya may be the only cast member left come Season 3.

56.

Especially after it was announced this summer that Barbie (aka Kat) isn’t coming back.

57.

We dreaded the return of 2000s fashion.

58.

Like…do we need to do this again?

59.

One app brought us all together: BeReal.

60.

Through tragedy and through triumph.

61.

Triumphs like, of course, Nicole Kidman’s famous AMC ad getting a sequel.

62.

We debated whether we would let Twitter circles into our hearts.

63.

And if we really wanted more access to misery.

64.

We celebrated the release of Renaissance.

65.

Though we may have listened to it a bit too much.

66.

We all got stoked for Taylor Swift’s Midnights.

67.

And had thoughts about that other thing that happened at the VMAs.

68.

And finally, we finished out August acting like we weren’t going to watch House of Dragon, then did it anyway.

69.

In conclusion…thank you, Twitter.
