Going out on a limb here, but I don't think the phones did it.






ChudTheBuilder just MACED a guy after getting his hat smacked off his head during a heated argument 😳




I paid off my wife's student loans like a week after we got engaged, just sayin.

No phones on the table. No sense that the moment might be captured, replayed, judged later. You could drift. Say the wrong thing. Laugh too loud. Sit there doing nothing. Now everyone’s slightly braced. Slightly performing. Even when we’re relaxed, we’re not really loose. There’s always a small part of us watching ourselves.

I was on FaceTime with a close friend of mine since childhood, while she had six of her girlfriends over. They live in NYC and are “corporate girlies” in their late 20s. They’re all college graduates, very pretty, normal, dress well, go to Pilates, enjoy their $10 matcha everyday. They’re MAHA (without knowing it). They were asking me about my social media and all claim to “not be political” but I know every single one of the votes left or doesn’t vote at all. One of them said my social media is crazy and I have some insane takes. I asked for an example so maybe I could help expand on how I reached whatever conclusion I did. There was no example provided. I started asking about what they knew about our political climate. I started basic and asked if any of them know who our VP is. NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM COULD NAME OUR VICE PRESIDENT!!!!! I asked more questions, and was equally disappointed in their lack of knowledge. They said they just don’t like getting involved in politics. Yet they all voted for Kamala. They don’t know how laws get passed, they don’t know the branches of government, they don’t know why we’re at war with Iran, they just think it’s “unnecessary”, I could go on. We have a major education crisis in our country.
