      Social media just got more funky. Prince joined Twitter this week, announcing his presence in hilarious, typically self-aware Prince-ian fashion—and the Twitterverse is all the better for it.

      Using the Twitter handle @3RDEYEGIRL (3rd Eye Girl is a band that he assembled and is promoting), Prince made his Twitter debut with a series of tweets that spot-on answer the once-hypothetical question: “What would it look like if Prince was on Twitter?”

      His first two tweets were, bascially, Prince announcing that they were his first two tweets. Obviously:

      It all led to the glorious “PRINCE’S 3RD TWEET,” a photo of his salad. Obviously:

      Warren Buffett (in the house):

      Beyoncé, letting us all know that it’s OK to call her just “B”:

      Oprah, the queen, FEELING REALLY 21ST CENTURY:

      Lady Gaga, appropriately befuddling:

      Alec Baldwin, gettin' tipsy:

      Roger Ebert, perfectly profound:

      Samuel L. Jackson, using his favorite word:

      Hillary Clinton, giving due credit to the Texts From Hillary meme:

      Bill Clinton, giving due credit to Stephen Colbert:

      Tom Hanks, making a perfect old man joke:

      James Cameron, “King of the World,” revealing the power of Ryan Seacrest:

      Barack Obama, being all political:

      Pope Francis, back when he was still Pope Francis:

      And, of course, Twitter founder Jack Dorsey:
