Things we’re leaving in woke 1.0:

- popular usage of “gentrifier”

Noah Kahan doing the thing that all artists do to me, which is be touring in Boston when I’m in DC and in DC when I’m in Boston 🥲

This was AI, right? Wasn’t it like decade+ old intelligence that the site used to be of military significance? That screams someone loaded intelligence files into a software and told it to choose targets and didn’t check them.

So true bestie, no one is rolling in dough like new parents 💸

Google Photos is probably the worst product from a once premium company I have ever used

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

There are no words for how evil this is
