35 of the Funniest Tweets from Thursday, June 6, 2024

A double dose of news came out of Panem this morning. First, Scholastic announced that Suzanne Collins will be releasing a fifth novel in the Hunger Games series. Sunrise of the Reaping is due out next year and set at the Hunger Games that took place 24 years before the events of the OG trilogy. Shortly thereafter, Lionsgate then announced that an adaptation of the to-be-released novel is already in the works, which will set the stage for a young actor to do their best Woody Harrelson impression, as Haymitch Abernathy is sure to make an appearance.

Meanwhile, another writer explained when she chooses to ignore social media. During a conversation for Variety, Quinta Brunson told Jennifer Aniston that she had a strict “no social media” policy for the first season of Abbott Elementary. Brunson elaborated on the “jarring” nature of social media and explained to the Morning Show actress that she “doesn’t care what social media is asking (them) to do” because the writers know the characters best and will “do what (they) want to do.” 

To their credit, instead of flooding the timeline with Abbott Elementary pitches, these tweeters stuck to what they knew best — riffs, jokes and memes of their own. Today’s funniest tweets include those about the only time zone that matters, a couple of cool cows and a humbling Catholic reminder.
