I've seen some people saying how "AI"-generated text is now as good as certain published authors, and honestly I think it's really brave for these folks to admit in public how poor their reading comprehension has to be

I just headed over to the library, thinking that I'm old enough that I don't have to feel uncool to go to the library on a Friday night. Only I got there and the library was closed. Even the librarians have better places to be

When I was a child, the computers were the ones who would scream when we got online

Is it just me or was the whole tariffs thing like Jim Jones white nights thing? Almost seems like a test to see who the true believers are

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

It feels strange to watch the news and see headlines that are like the fake stories in a disaster movie

I once again have to wonder, how does he have time to do this? Does he do any actual work, or does he just throw money around?

If I talked about anything for more than 24 hours I probably wouldn’t need to talk for the rest of the year

About 12 years ago I made my mom a mix CD and she still has it and listens to it ❤️
