Can’t stop thinking about this: "Wasting time" might be one of the strangest accusations we've ever invented. Apparently you can waste 2:00 p.m. by sitting under a tree doing nothing. The afternoon was going to pass either way. The Earth was going to rotate either way. But because you didn't convert those hours into money, errands or improvement, we decided the time itself was wasted. As if simply being alive isn't enough to justify an afternoon.

RFK Jr’s “oversight” really isn’t helping our fresh foods situation. Does he want us to eat ultra-processed foods again? At least junk food won’t give us listeria…just plastics and rat poop. Also, that Antifa-spread fake news called climate change…that obviously can’t be partially to blame at all.

I invented a robot that can rob a bank. Of course, it robs these banks on its own, so I can't be held legally responsible when it robs a bank. I mean, all I did was invent it, it's not my fault if it works exactly the way I intended. Also, 1 get to keep all the money from the banks it robs. Sorry if any of that money was yours, but now that I've invented the Bank Robbing Robot, the Bank Robbing Robot is inevitable.
