Here are 50 great (but not the best) tweets from 2018

This installment of the annual Twitter roundup qualifies as the honorable mention part of the series

Snooki, the cast of 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' and Center City Sips brawls all made their way into the best tweets of 2018 files.

All tweets aren’t the best tweets, but many are very, very good. It seems unfair to let those which don’t qualify for the Top 20 to just fall to the wayside, though.

To that end, in advance of the best-of-the-best post from later this week, we now hereby present the honorable mention tweets.

They’re funny. They’re serious. They’re everything in between.

Some are also NSFW, so don't wake the kids.

With the social-media site’s constant churn, it’s safe to predict that we missed some. So, when all’s said and done with a week-long series, send them along so we can revel in them together.

And away we go with the noteworthy non-Top 20 tweets of the calendar year 2018. (Be sure to check back on Monday for the Top 20 tweets of the year post.)

Too soon to talk about guns?

I was hiding in a closet for 2 hours. It was about guns. You weren't there, you don't know how it felt. Guns give these disgusting people the ability to kill other human beings. This IS about guns and this is about all the people who had their life abruptly ended because of guns. https://t.co/XnzhvuN1zd

In which a lib owns miniature-golf enthusiasts.

I saw a strip club across the street from a minigolf place and I’m liberal but that’s too much for me. What if you’re just trying to have a nice afternoon with your family then your kids look across the street and have to see a bunch of losers playing minigolf?
