Another week has brought fresh foolishness from folks on Twitter. And thank goodness, because this week we really needed some laughs in our lives.
One thing worrying a lot of people was the second Kavanaugh hearing. People tuned in from around the world, and Twitter digested it all. While the site was filled with supportive messages during Dr. Ford's testimony in the morning, many users were surprised at Kavanaugh's angry tone in the afternoon.

Moving away from politics, the music world celebrated the release of the much-anticipated Tha Carter V. While reviews were mostly positive, folks were especially taken with the album's Wayne/Kendrick collab "Mona Lisa:"

While Weezy was busy making music with hip-hop royalty, one Twitter user reminded us all that Burger King is called Burger King for a reason. No one goes for their fries, right?

Speaking of fast food related tweets, this man had a Chick-fil-A testimony for the ages:

The chicken giant was clearly having a moment; it also appeared in this shout-out to creepy cookies and all-up-in-our-business algorithms that really hit close to home:

User @erinasimon had a valuable business tip for all you entrepreneurs out there:

Speaking of questionable consultations, some shady footage of how Donald Trump, Jr. was created made the rounds:

Romance was in the air as well. Sort of, anyway, in a moment that questioned whether "Twitter do your thing" is always the right move:
Y’all kiss but won’t ask for a girls number ? Lmao, yikes https://t.co/WLy6z2mM3t
— MEE-ah ???? (@Laviemorte_) September 22, 2018
One thing you can always count on Twitter for, is calling out shenanigans:
Yt girls putting their feet on the back of my chair during lecture is a micro aggression but I’ll def have a macro response

In one of the week's stranger turns of events, Beyoncé's ex-drummer accused her of "extreme witchcraft." Naturally, the BeyHive gave us AHS realness. American Horror Story: The Hive.

And we conclude this week with one of the most relatable tweets of all time. You know how you sit in the hair-braiding chair for four score and seven years, and you feel the back of your hair thinking you're almost done, except …
when you getting your hair braided and she splits the last patch of hair into 18 more braids. pic.twitter.com/vUYRkFBTdC
