This is the Only Good 280 Character Tweet

Maybe the 280 character expansion Twitter just rolled out recently isn’t so bad after all. Indeed, without it, the greatest tweet ever tweeted in the history of tweeting would not exist. Behold:

Twitter has gotten a lot of flack for expanding its product and doing away with the precision and discipline required to hone a tweet down to its perfect form, but as you can clearly see, sometimes perfection takes a little while to unfurl.
