Elon Musk's Twitter may be a dying platform, a Jenga tower of baffling new features stacked atop the gaps where useful ones used to be, but there are still days when it is simply the best place to munch popcorn and enjoy jokes about the news in real time. Thursday March 30 was one of those days.
News broke in the early evening, New York time, that a Manhattan grand jury voted to indict former president Donald Trump on charges relating to alleged hush money paid to porn performer Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election to cover up a brief sexual relationship. It's one of four criminal investigations currently looking into the former president's activities — alongside two from the DoJ regarding the Jan. 6 insurrection and mishandling of classified documents, and one relating to election interference in Fulton County, Georgia — but it's the first to result in actual charges against Trump himself.

But as always, the news was met by a cascade of classic memes, inside jokes, and well-seasoned schadenfreude.

Pelting digital tomatoes at Trump on his perp walk is always fun, but it should always be in the context of the untold damage he's done to real people in his decades of public life as a rich, vainglorious, racist shithead. The final word — literally — should go to one of those people.
