When you spend as much time as we do reading and writing about Twitter it’s easy to forget that there is ‘Twitterworld’ and then there is the ‘real world.’ Sure, gender-confused lizard people are screaming at you on Twitter about free college but in the real world they’re just screaming about free college, they leave the lizard thing online.
Usually.
Hopefully.
Anyway, Ben Shapiro was good enough to point out how different the big news stories in the real world are from the big stories in the Twitter world … and it’s hilarious:
In the real world, here are today's big stories in order of importance:
1. Vaccine being developed
2. Stock market rockets
3. States beginning to reopen
4. More tests than people who want to be tested
5. Trump puts WHO on notice— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) May 19, 2020
That’s reality.
And here’s Twitter:
In Twitterland, here are today's big stories in order of importance:
1. Trump is fat
2. Trump takes hydroxychloroquine and is fat
3. Nancy Pelosi is slaying, queen, because Trump is fat
4. Trump isn't taking hydroxychloroquine because he's a liar but is fat
5. Trump is plump— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) May 19, 2020
Ben nailed it, as usual.
Slaying queen … LOL.
6. Body Shaming is now acceptable
— Brian Kirwin (@BrianKirwin) May 19, 2020
But only if you’re a Democrat body-shaming a Republican.
Well Twitter is a cesspool

Fair.
Just about sums it up.

We will NOT make a joke about her WaPo picture and how it looked like a Godzilla movie poster.
Oops.
We made the joke by accident.
Our bad.
