Twitter, in its quest to supplant Facebook among literate people and stave off a threat (or not) from GooglePlus, seems to have recently made some changes to its image utility - namely, you can now see images you have Tweeted before.

That's good.  Maybe it has been around for a while, I have no clue, I never use the actual Twitter.com interface because it is horrid.   Yet GooglePlus is pretty terrible also and they do not have an open API yet, which basically put Twitter on the map, because the user base could improve the Twitter experience by bypassing it.   No one can figure out Facebook.

Anyway, since I can now see images from Twitter in the past I can compile images I have Tweeted or re-Tweeted from the past, based on society's most important current topics, and place them here.   Hilarity ensues for the weekend.
