Welcome to the best day of the week and congratulations, the aliens have given up on their search for intelligent life and have flown to the next planet. It is so far unclear whether Mark Zuckerberg’s little surf show scared them off, or the behavior of humanity in the pandemic, or at least the threat to send Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk into space with them. They may have also seen the burning ocean and are now about to get some popcorn to watch in amazement the enthusiasm with which an entire civilization is destroying their livelihoods, we will never know. What we’re going to see, however, are the best Tweets of the week. Get yourself a little popcorn and enjoy.
