Tuesday got off to a horrendous start with the news that Angelina Jolie had filed for divorce from husband Brad Pitt, another depressing AF reminder that love is indeed dead. According to TMZ, Jolie filed for divorce citing "irreconcilable differences" related to their parenting methods. Jolie and Pitt have not released personal statements regarding the alleged split, but you know who's been releasing nonstop statements since the news broke? 

That's right. Twitter, in a move that should surprise no one, has united behind the reliable task of getting another round of jokes off at a breaking news story's expense. In case you've missed the last few rounds of Twitter ruthlessly reacting to something decidedly sad, here's a taste of what that looks like in action, starting with the milder stuff:

Pretty standard posts of mourning, yeah? Well, not all of Twitter has delicacy on the brain:
