Dean
The end of 2018 is rapidly approaching, which is good, just because it seems like it has been 2018 for like a decade. I’m not even fully convinced that it will end, but I guess we’ll have to wait until the end of December to see.
A ton of stuff has happened this year, with a news cycle that moved faster than a cheap revolving door at Trump Tower. We remained obsessed with celebrities. And millennials continued their killing spree, taking out everything from (supposedly) mayo to the entire diamond industry. Here are 20 tweets that pretty much sum up 2018.
1. We stayed obsessed with the Kardashians and Jenners, of course.

3. Netflix got commercials.
Netflix: great news!! we’re adding finely curated unskippable promotional packages in between all your favorite shows!
Everyone: ……..so commercials?
Netflix [sweating profusely]: Hahaha no of course not, we’d never do that

4. People entertained the idea of giving up on reality altogether. Why not?

5. The news cycle was out of control.
Yesterday, after an 18 month investigation, the NYT revealed the President of the United States committed hundreds of millions of dollars of tax fraud – possibly one of the biggest scandals in the history of the Presidency – and 24 hours later we’re no longer talking about it.

6. I mean, news moved really, really quickly, and there seemed to be a lot of it.
Enough has happened this week to fill like three We Didn’t Start The Fires.

7. Miley Cyrus was somehow sorta country again?
i’m still not over miley cyrus going on an insane two year bender and then waking up in a sundress and cowboy hat one day and pretending like it never happened

8. Black Panther has been out at least like 4 or 5 years right? NOPE.

9. Watching TV while looking at your phone isn’t going away anytime soon. We’ll develop a second set of eyes if we have to.
How to watch a movie in 2018
Step 1: open netflix
Step 2: click through 500 films
Step 3: select tv series
Step 4: pick episode you’ve seen
Step 5: look at phone for 45 mins— Siân Welby 🦄 (@Sianwelby) April 15, 2018
10. It was a weird year for celebrities, but then again, aren’t they all?
Kanye is lunching with Trump. Taylor Swift is posting about systemic racism on Instagram. Lana Del Rey basically told Azealia Banks “knuck if you buck.”
I no longer wish to be included in this narrative.
