Ted Cruz Twitter-Shamed by Mark Hamill, Plus the Year's Best Tweet

By Lainey Bobainey | Pajiba Love | December 17, 2017 |

There are only two weeks left of 2017, but the year’s best tweet has finally arrived.

Saturday is actually my fun day.
— Susanna Hoffs (@SusannaHoffs) December 17, 2017

For those of you who are too young to know who Susanna Hoffs is, well, I’m sorry. That’s a damn shame. If you do know who Hoffs is, then knowing that she’s 58 is gonna make you feel real old right now. You’re going to feel even more old knowing that 58 year old Susanna Hoffs (above) looks better than you.

Meanwhile, Texas Senator Ted Cruz got into it with Luke Skywalker on Twitter. It did not go well.

.@HammillHimself Luke, I know Hollywood can be confusing, but it was Vader who supported govt power over everything said & done on the Internet. That's why giant corps (Google, Facebook, Netflix) supported the FCC power grab of net neutrality. Reject the dark side: Free the net! https://t.co/nARkMvIEYk

After he got mercilessly mocked on Twitter, Cruz tried to redeem himself and only dug himself in deeper.

Yes, that's it. So sorry to misspell your name. Respond not with facts, but with anger. Who was it that said, "Fear is the path to the dark side…fear leads to anger…anger leads to hate"? (1/2) https://t.co/uwMMzgKC1R

Never quote the prequels, Ted. GOD.

It’s kind of adorable that Don Jr. thinks that Cruz got the better of Luke Skywalker.

I mean, I guess this is mostly about how Rihanna and Sarah Paulson are friends and text each other, but mostly what I took from it is that Tiffany Hadish AND Barbra Streisand ARE FRIENDS. WHAT? - (LG)

As if there weren’t enough tourist traps in LA, Barry Diller and Diane Von Fürstenberg want to put in a gondola (ski kind, not the canal kind) to get tourists up to the HOLLYWOOD sign. - (Dlisted)

Prince Harry interviewed PRESIDENT Obama for BBC Radio 4’s Today Programme (spelled all fancy and Britishy), which will air on December 27th, andomg remember when we had a president who sounded human and kind and funny and normal and PLEASECOMEBACKANDSAVEUS. Ahem, right. Anyway, here’s a tease of it. - (BBC)

If ^ that made you long for the Spirit of Presidents Past, don’t look at this link. This is our Past President Christmas present. (If you read that sorta’ correctly and you’re also a smidge buzzed, it makes sense.) (Ok, fine, maybe just to me…) (Whatever. Leave me alone.) - (Celebitchy)

Grinch makeup is a thing. I guess. I don’t even understand what’s happening anymore. - (TeenVogue)

But, hey, here’s some good news! FLUFFY FARM CATS! - (Bored Panda)

Is it ever too late to post reviews for Cannonball Read? No, every review helps fight cancer. Linusmyhero posted her first reviews this month. She enjoyed Amy Spaulding on podcasts so took a chance on Kissing Ted Callahan. She was delighted to find that the main friendship was a platonic friendship between a girl and a boy. If you are holding on to any reviews, the ninth Cannonball Read ends at noon on New Years’ Eve, so get posting! (Cannonball Read 9)

Yesterday, I went looking for a database of Black women who are running for office in 2018. I didn't find one, so with the help of 4 other people, I created one that has info of 100+ women: https://t.co/IIzYcQhac4
