Somehow, the hot tub and pool photos were less egregious than the interlocked hands. That one was waaaay too intimate

It's so depressing/concerning to see how many people share those obvious AI image with a long caption posts on Facebook.

Just finished Andor. What a finale.

Andor is one of the best-looking TV shows I have ever seen. I see why season 2 cost a bajillion dollars

Kush and OJ 2 is pretty solid a few tracks in. The original is one of my all-time favorite mixtapes, so it's cool that Wiz still has his fastball

My wife made me go to Trader Joe's before work to buy her the limited edition mini totes, and the colors she wanted just happened to match my shoes.

Relatedly, Cory Booker's filibuster gave me the opportunity to tell some of my students about the time I asked him how he pulled Rosario Dawson.

Southwest killing bags flying for free, Subway killing $5 foot longs, Dollar Tree having items that cost more than $1, McDonald's Dollar Menu not living up to its name, any other major corporate betrayals I'm missing?

LinkedIn might have the worst feed in social media, which is saying something. Why do you think I want a feed full of posts that are posts that people I'm connected to liked or reacted to? On what planet does that make sense?

The postal office's informed delivery service is always clutch, but it becomes invaluable in the winter. I appreciate knowing if it's worth walking to the mailbox or not when temps are in the negatives

This story was written by one of my students. She turned it in as a final project last semester, and was so proud of it that she wanted to pitch it to outlets. I walked her through the freelance pitch process and helped with edits along the way. Now, here we are.

I'm about 26 years late, but I'm listening to Kelis' Kaleidoscope album for the first time and it's fire! Also, she and The Neptunes were so ahead of their time because this joint almost sounds modern.

Dunkin paid $8 million for that ad and a whole lot of people got paid well to make it. Don't ever let anyone stop you from achieving your dreams.
