@Antoniette_P teXts? 😄

So let me get this straight... New owner, new name, new logo. Pretty much a complete erasure of the last 15 years for the company. And that's fine. It's business... But content submitted by users is still called tweets? I mean...

@WineFolly As recently as last month. Interesting varietal. 167/500.

Baga! This thick-skinned Portuguese variety has recently been taken more seriously. Have you tried one?

So, again, I post a picture as a story in Ig that links to nothing. I got nearly 200 organic views. I post a story that links to my new post....20 views. I hope you get dethrone soon Ig.

Words and phrases that I believe are losing their value at lightspeed due to their misuse: * Expertise * Spectacular * Free Speech * Recession * Self-explanatory * All-inclusive * Teamwork * Truth Welcome aboard! says "free", "organic" and "FDA Approved".

15 years ago, I read an article about this tech wiz kid calling email obsolete. I remember feeling upset about his comment at the time. I don't know what that kid is doing now, but whatever he is selling...buy it.

In five months we have gone from 'We have AI', to 'AI is writing everything now', to 'We can validate if you wrote it with AI, to 'Now we can hide from detectors that we wrote it in AI'. Sounds like this whole thing was pulled out of a sitcom.

Thoughts are ethereal. They are fluid. They can lead to positions. Or nowhere. It's how we learn. Positions are firm. They are adamant. Unequivocal. The fact that people equate thoughts with positions and chastize people for them is one of our current society's biggest flaw.

After careful consideration, I've come to the conclusion that for this coming Halloween, I want to go out as Pedro Pascal's Javi Gutierrez from the movie The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, with the whole LSD induced grin. I can't get enough of that meme.

I don't watch movies like before. It just lost it's magic for me. Too many rules and people to please. So it's hard for me to remember the last time I wanted to see a movie after an award show win. Then...Ke Huy Quan wins and he gives his wonderful speech. So...you win again Ke.

How I know someone's been messing with the timeline. It's 2023 and all of a sudden I feel like a big fan of the band .38 Special. I have no other coherent explanation. I even know the lyrics man.

Random Thoughts: No one understands why The Simpsons is still on air. They have nothing left to prove. They have done it all. They are an American staple at this point. So that is a mystery. That being said, I think we all know why South Park is still on the air.

There's no bigger waste of paper than when a politician releases a book on how to fix things after they quit politics to go into the private sector. I'm sure we could throw the books on a fire to keep it going on a cold night and the fire would reply: "Nah man. I'm good."

Nothing beats the feeling of going back to your hometown after who knows how long and then hear someone ask you "love your accent. What country are you from?". I'm from the country of two houses down the road m'aam. 😄

You know...I enjoy the "bring me my food" carryout services just like the next guy but when the ticket is $58 bucks, and after the delivery it becomes $85 BEFORE tip...you know...suddenly getting out of the couch isn't that bad anymore.

When someone like Zuckerberg says "I take accountability for these decisions" after firing 13% due to his, let's call them bad decisions, what does that mean? How does that work? "Hey Honey. I just my job today but it's ok. Zuckerberg said he is accountable. All is well." 😑

The natural evolution of content appropriation. Phase 1: Reposting something on social media and writing "This!" as if they were your words. Phase 2: Reposting a reel on social media with a split screen and you on the other side pointing to the reel and making faces.

As we slowly but surely have transitioned the steady use of paper money in exchange for digital transfers, we are probably a generation away from eliminating it all together. I mean, I left a $1 in my kid's backpack. Been there a week. He says "he uses tickets. No need for it".

Is it just me, or does medication in your bathroom cabinet ALWAYS expires like two-three months before you need to use them? Now there's a conspiracy worth looking into.

I don't know how there aren't more comic nerds angry with the cancellation of the Bat Girl movie. No. I don't really care about Bat Girl's character but Michael Keaton's Batman was going to be in it. I mean seriously WB. WTH?
