Lego's clever cat tweet
When lego tweeted a load of gibberish, fans were confused.
The account later shared an image explaining the tweet - a lego cat sitting on a laptop keyboard.

Content idea for the week
It's Father's Day this weekend.
First of all, have you remembered to buy a card?
Secondly, if this is a good fit for your brand, post about it now!
Reminding your followers that Father's Day is coming up and the last day they can order from you is a helpful reminder.
