When I made a list of my favorite tweets from last month, I really enjoyed the act of looking back at the month and remembering its key events (and punchlines). So I decided do it again.
Last month, I had a top 50. This month, I have a top 120. (It was a busy month.)
Here are My Favorite Tweets from July 2015, in chronological order.
Some amused me. Others made me think. A few are profane. Such is life.
