At Mozilla, we believe part of making the internet we want is celebrating the best of the internet, and that can be as simple as sharing a tweet that made us pause in our feed. Twitter isn’t perfect, but there are individual tweets that come pretty close.

Each week in Top Shelf, we will be sharing the tweets that made us laugh, think, Pocket them for later, text our friends, and want to continue the internet revolution each week.

If being an adult has taught me anything, it's that the internet will always find new ways to innovate pornography and then fuck over the people who make it.

sorry I'm just absolutely losing my mind at the idea of an entire industry of media professionals allowing Facebook to dictate what kind of content does best and the sixth most-viewed link on the whole damn site is "https://t.co/LoO0OZ2JjS" pic.twitter.com/tM6qXBIS6g
