What a ridiculous bulletin.

“Excuse me, I’d like to inform you, with your permission of course, that, and I will stress that this is an interpersonal transfer of information between you and I that is entirely within your purview to block or disregard, a tweet, which is to say a post on x (.) (dot) com, a website only recently renamed so from its previous moniker “twitter,” which explains the origin of the nomenclature of its posts, “tweets” in case can’t recall, mentioned a biographical film titled who is Bobby Kennedy.”

Thank you for reading the Kentucky bacon. Your information has been logged.”

I’m joking about how overly verbose they were in speaking about a retweet from a doofus billionaire. In attempting to offer gravitas, they simply seemed timidly giddy.

I was going for agonizing rather than confusing, so I went wrong with my first line. It’s rarely the audience’s fault that a joke doesn’t land.
