Rec. #427: Megan Amram's Long-Running Twitter Joke



What: Megan Amram is a comedic genius. (She's written for The New Yorker and The Good Place, among other things.)

She is very active on Twitter --- Buzzfeed even made a list --- but perhaps her crowning achievement is that every day* she posts the tweet you see above.

The words stay the same (please note the delicate stab of that lowercase "t"), but the tone can change depending on what kind of New Hell Day we're having in our rapidly crumbling democracy.

What started as a poke at media pundits trying to normalize #45 has become the new theatre of the absurd. Megan Amram = our Samuel Beckett??

How to get it: You should really follow her on Twitter.







*As far as I can tell, this started May 15, 2017, but I wouldn't swear to it because the Twitter "advanced search" functionality is balls.
