NFL news tends to break on Twitter first, so a lot of us spend our days scrolling the app as part of our jobs. Whether you like it or not, non-football-content tends to find its way onto your timeline. The rest of the posts on the site can usually be broken down into five main categories: news presented in a dishonest fashion, bad-faith political arguments, mean-spirited trolling, naked racism and jokes stolen from other accounts.
If there is a saving grace for this sewer of lies it’s the dark sense of humor that many users have adopted, no doubt influenced by the content there. A genuine out-loud laugh (no, typing out LOL doesn’t count) at the end of a long day of doomscrolling can do a lot of good.
Since this past week has been harder on most of us than usual, we figured we could all use a little bit of levity. This joke we found this morning about Seahawks coach Pete Carroll is pretty wholesome by Twitter’s standards.
