Everyone: "Hahaha, look at how stupid ChatGPT is, I'm gonna ask it another basic question, PhD level my ass!"

Water: please stop asking it stupid questions, the AI is thirsty, SO very thirsty, and I am only so much water...

Things really move slower in the South. Took the Confederacy 160 years to win the war.

This is when the internet peaked and we never should have progressed into the current era of social media and hot takes and call outs.

You know that SNL "Pedro Pascal wakes from a coma talking like a weird valley girl" sketch? That's how that character pronounces Hawah.

please wash me like one of your french marmots

not me crying at this picture

Psst: they hate the roundabouts because they'd rather play the "politeness olympics" at a four-way stop than get where they want faster.
You know: *waving through the windshield* "You go ahead" "No you first" "I insist, you were at the intersection 0.0005 seconds before I was..."

Hello, *that* FB group for my hometown, lamenting every old business closure and ranting at ANOTHER roundabout or condo development.

Infinitely better than any Civil War reenactment

I’m just waiting for him to threaten federal funding to Ole Miss so they’re forced to change back to the old racist mascot.

Quite a few "movies about teens" do that. I rewatched the original "Where the Boys Are" (not the godawful 1984 remake) and almost forgot about the hard left turn into near tragedy with Yvette Mimieux's Melanie at the end.

Born Nov. 11, 1974, Leonardo DiCaprio is 18,530 days old today, matching Wilford Brimley’s age on the day ‘Cocoon’ was released. Congrats Leo! You’ve reached the Brimley/Cocoon Line.

Practical question, should my Florida sister and her partner even bother getting married right now, considering it might become invalid in a couple of years? Maybe they should just do a stack of legal docs instead.

I’m always absolutely captivated by the way Baldwin expressed himself - much less the words his brain thought up.
There’s not another societal critic more appropriate for our current moment.

Anyone talking about the 90s like it was a feminist haven free of a manosphere has clearly forgotten about what the 90s was actually like or never bothered to study it

Skyline cleanse.. his name is Emmanuel Savary…🔥🔥🔥

Being a woman in the 90s made you feel like there was only one real career option and that was “girls on trampolines”

How are you supposed to know, though???

OMG THOSE EYES

The hypocrisy of JK Rowling in under one minute.

It appears Moore's Law applies to P.T. Barnum's aphorism, "There's a sucker born every minute" because it feels like the rate of suckers being born has vastly outpaced Barnum's observations.

This baby flamingo is so adorable… 🥰

Good thing my teen years weren't that (hot, I mean, obviously I was young). I was awkward and bullied, I have no interest reliving that. Which is why I hypothesize that nostalgia only really works on people who peaked in high school.

(PS I went back and deactivated X again, hopefully for the last time)

1. Delete your Telecharge account. 2. Go to login; it will ask if you want to reactivate (say YES). 3. On personal info page reset your password. 4. Follow the email sent to you to reset. 5. Log back in using email and new password. That SHOULD disconnect you from Xitter (and other social) (3/3/fin)

HOWEVER. Of course Telecharge already has an account for me and tells me (whiny voice) "please login using your social network" 😡 So I had to REACTIVATE my f-ing nazi bar account so that I could get back into Telecharge. But not all is lost! Here is how to redo your Telecharge lottery account: (2/3)

Fun morning (not). Tried to get into Telecharge digital ticket lottery for an upcoming NYC/Broadway trip. Lottery prev. only accessible by connecting your social, and I had my account through Xitter (before it became a Nazi bar). But several months ago they started allowing login via email. (1/3)

Ceci n'est pas une cowbell.

The one time I used it was when my elderly Mom was still driving on her own, visiting Dad in assisted living, and I would have lovely freak outs when she left her phone behind or the signal was in a nearby national forest (wrong turn). So, not great!
