18 of the Funniest Tweets from Friday, July 3 2026

“Weird Al” Yankovic made a decision that not everyone would make. It is very easy to say, "I would have done the same in his situation," but when that much money is at stake, those decisions are not easy at all.

Initially, Yankovic had agreed to film a commercial for a software company in exchange for a lot of money. A week before the filming, he discovered that the product is an artificial intelligence tool, and this sits so poorly with him that he suddenly and immediately decides to cancel the deal, because he did not want to be the face of a tech tool that seeks to replace people.

It makes sense — it really goes against his way of operating; Yankovic is the type of person who always asks artists for permission before making his parodies, whereas generative AI, on the other hand, is a machine that generates content by using other people's art without permission.

Yet, financially, his choice might be surprising, but not that much; in 1990, he rejected $5 million to promote a beer brand because he considered that a large part of his audience is young and he did not want to be a bad influence.

You really have to have very firm values to do something like that.

Anyway, let's take a look at the best tweets of today. Enjoy!
