Good morning bitches,
Due to an abundance of Good Tweets, I reached the data capacity for this email quicker than normal. I apologize that it is short, but THAT’S LIFE!!!
Headline of the week:
Journalism peaked on May 7, 2021. Thank you, Canada House of Commons Representative William Amos.
(Related: In February, a Sacramento plastic surgeon showed up to his Zoom traffic court trial while in the middle of operating on a patient.)
great celebrity dragging moment:
Lana Del Rey announced her upcoming album on Twitter by tweeting out the album cover.
In case you can’t tell… the album cover sucks. Fans started to speculate that she was using amateur photo editing website, Picsart, to create her album covers, and went so far as to start this Change.org petition:
Someone imagined what it would look like if Beyoncé resorted to this level of laziness:
So I decided to give good morning bitches the Lana/Picsart treatment
It’s so bad it’s almost good!
the day a local celebrity was born:
Idaho TV Station KTVB tweeted out the biography webpage of anchor Mark Johnson for…….seemingly no reason? Even Mark Johnson himself was confused:
And because the internet is the internet, a viral meme moment followed:
Even the governor of Idaho jumped into the conversation:
IT GETS BETTER THOUGH!! THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND……..WENT TO MIZZOU:
Deep in the hollows of reddit:
It’s easy to find brands striking out on social media (like the Raiders after Derek Chauvin was found guilty of murder) which is why it was a delight to find a subreddit dedicated to brands going out of their way to make customers’ lives easier, sometimes at their own expense. r/antiassholedesign shows that sometimes, corporations DO have a heart!! Even…Amazon???
This week on Twitter…
Sadly I can’t add anything else to this email besides this final note: it is unconventional for me to send GMB out on a Sunday, but since today is Mother’s Day I wanted a little something to look forward to. (For those of you who are new here, I lost my mom in 2019.) This edition—and all ones previous and future—are dedicated to the woman who made me the writer, woman, and good morning bitch that I am. I love you, mama.
Until next time,
xo,
Lily
