Perhaps we should’ve beefed up that 6th grade civics class just a tad.

Never was there a beautiful thing that man didn’t try to accumulate to himself and charge admission. Find those joyful things no one can take away. They’ll be inside you.

We’re only 4 years from when the terminator comes back to find Sarah Connor. Good times.

Q: “Does your dog bite?” “No.” *dog bites “You said your dog doesn—“ “That’s not my dog.”

Lol 😂

Votivekirche in #Vienna. The stained glass are breathtaking.

We’ve had AI for years now and we can’t design a more easily removed seal for a can of butter cookies yet?!?
