After consulting with TIME editors in every field from politics and sports to technology and entertainment, we’ve compiled a list of Twitter feeds that stand out for their humor, knowledge and personality. It’s not comprehensive—there are more deserving tweeters than we can tally, and all honorees from previous years have been excluded. (See our best-of alumni list here.) But like a good tweet, we’ve boiled down the issue to its essence: 140 feeds in 14 categories that you should follow right away. Have opinions on our list? Let us know on Twitter using the hashtag #Twitter140.
