Do you think as Gen Z / Alpha ages they'll do their own "politics is Harry Potter" thing like Millennials did and we'll have to hear about how one politician is the bad guy from Paw Patrol and the other politician is the good smart dog who saves the day in the world of Paw Patrol
Politics in one's feed can be awfully illuminating because you can see a Very Serious Person saying "Look, no one is advocating (insert extreme policy or action here)" and like three posts down there's someone literally advocating that
My savings account only allows me to transfer in two million dollars per month. Recently they added a little ticker on the transfer interface that warns me how much left I can transfer in this month, I guess to make sure I pace myself and not save over two million. I'll do my best, savings account.
I come from old money for very small values of 'money'
I'm so bad at remembering mythological idioms. It's my Prometheus's box.
C-3PO was programmed to be annoying so that humans would not want to speak to him for too long, thus avoiding AI psychosis. Responsible and prescient, really
Welcome to another episode of "Adam listens to a new song to see what the fuss is about". Today, I'm listening to Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas". (listens) It's fine! Surprisingly low-key for a big hit but whatever. Thank you for joining me on this episode of "Adam listens" etc.

So at this point do people working on current Disney animated movies just assume there's gonna be a live-action remake within their lifetimes? Are the producers, like, asked to plan for it?
(Independence Hall, July 5, 1776) ME: So can we talk about my pet issue now
So when do we give Buc-ee's the Presidential Medal of Freedom for being the most effective goodwill ambassador in 250 years? I'm in fuckin' New York and tourists are like "neat". Then they enter one (1) Buc-ee's and spontaneously turn into bald eagles in flag bikinis. Wow
Fun fact: John Adams believed we would actually be celebrating July 2 as the date of Taylor Swift's wedding
tfw you solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States
It is touching to see that this Fourth of July we'll all be recommitting ourselves to the very same eternal civil discussion our Founding Fathers set in motion 250 years ago: does Taylor Swift agree with our politics
Taylor Swift won't see your mean tweets but your internationally famous superstar friends will
Future generations will never grasp that once using the Internet was *just* uncommon enough to make this delightful own truly land; yes, you can take some small joy in getting this far, but your quality of posting shows you still have a great deal to learn, and now you know that
The Founding Fathers should have just trusted in institutions 🙏
you didn’t capitalize “opinions” get serious or get out of the way Adam
We all have the responsibility to make the world a better place. Some of you will even need to make sacrifices and put in a lot of hard and unrewarding work. I'll be doing my part, too, by having good opinions
