Hello, everyone! How are you? How was your long weekend? It may only be a four-day week, but if you're already feeling bored out of your mind now that you're back on the office grind, it's all good in the hood as the team and I are here to help you get through what's left of the working week with the latest edition of We Are: The Guard's 10 Twitter Moments. Clear your schedule for today, then, as it's time to scroll through the following 280-character highlights from artists big and small including Lil Nas X, Tyler, the Creator, Lizzo, Thundercat, Lana Del Rey, and more!

LIL NAS X HAS OFFICIALLY MADE IT

From scoring his first #1 to playing his first live gig, we've been able to watch Lil Nas X's rise to fame in real time. As any rock star will tell you, however, you haven't officially made it until you've signed your first titty. Next up on Lil Nas X's list? Trash his first hotel!

 

TYLER, THE CREATOR CELEBRATES THE RESIGNATION OF THERESA MAY

If there's one thing that British Prime Minister Theresa May will be remembered for – other than spectacularly f*cking up Brexit, of course – it's banning Tyler, the Creator from the U.K. Now that Theresa has left the building, though, I look forward to more pictures like this of Mr. IGOR himself living his best life in London.

 

PROTECT SAN HOLO AT ALL COSTS

What did we do to deserve San Holo? The bitbird producer is the definition of WHOLESOME!

 

LIZZO TRIES OUT THE SNAPCHAT BABY FILTER

UGH! Like the Snapchat gender swap filter wasn't enough to haunt my dreams for decades to come, I'm now having to put up with the baby filter infiltrating my social media feeds. Lizzo is clearly way too fresh-faced for such a feature, however, as the filter basically did nothing to the “Juice” singer except blur her skin a little. Halsey, on the other hand, is officially a child now:

 

SEX EDUCATION WITH MARK HOPPUS

Every parent fears the day when they have to have The Birds and the Bees Talk™ with their child, but I'm pretty sure that Mark Hoppus just managed to make the whole thing more awkward with this story. Whose idea was it to let blink-182 have kids, anyways?

 

WTF, THUNDERCAT?

Erm, wait. What did I just watch? LOL! I know that being on the road can drive musicians a little stir-crazy, but this tour video from Thundercat is on another level of WTF-ery! The song is a low-key bop, though.

 

CYN AND KATY PERRY: NAME A MORE ICONIC DUO

We've supported Cyn for as long as we can remember, so it came as no surprise to us when the Chicago singer announced that she'd signed to Katy Perry's record label Unsub in 2017. It's just a shame that there are cynics out there who doubt Cyn's success, but we'll keep on loving her regardless – right, Katy?

 

STOP ASKING MAGGIE ROGERS ABOUT PHARRELL WILLIAMS

Did anyone else watch this with their palm firmly attached to their face? Everything about it is so goddamn cringe! That said, Maggie Rogers handled the interview like a total professional, which is more than we can say about the asshole questioning her! Alexa, play Heard It in a Past Life!

 

LANA DEL REY STILL HASN'T DROPPED THE ALBUM

Can someone tell Lana Del Rey to quit watching television and GET TO WORK ON NORMAN F*CKING ROCKWELL, ALREADY?

P.S. Wu-Tang Clan: Of Mics and Men definitely comes highly recommended, though.

 

FINNEAS AND CLAUDIA SULEWSKI ARE EVERYTHING

FINNEAS is nothing short of boyfriend goals. No, really – YouTuber Claudia Sulewski is one lucky, lucky lady to have him (and FINNEAS is one lucky, lucky gentleman to have her). Meanwhile, my lonely ass is over here looking for true love like:
