Every gothic horror:

Ah yes, another No Kings Day, another day of comment sections filled with "congratulations, we have no kings HURR HURR HURR" Boy, you knobs need a new joke book. #NoKings

The head of lettuce won.

Foresight

Regardless of what you think about U2 past or present, I think it's pretty cool that they celebrated their 50th anniversary as a band with free performances both at the school where they started and on a pub balcony in Dublin.

We're at the "can't be barefoot indoors, must wear socks" temperature phase already.

No Meta, I am not going to "try Muse," stop pestering me to do so.

First the election, now Fauci, why are they so fixated on 2020? Never looking forward? Trying to rewrite the past?

I guess they don't need the extra work of trying to hide Graham's death too.

I can remember the days when a new U2 song was an event, but this new one...well, I hope the rest of the forthcoming album, in this their 50th year, is better. Their surprise EPs earlier this year show that they still have Something.

Nothing to celebrate today. Sad to think about what could have been.

It's SO helpful that in comment sections everywhere we are being reminded that the T in TPS stands for "temporary." In fact they usually tell us in all caps.

Lately everything seems to be requesting a review for goods or services, even every doctor visit. I refuse. No, CVS, I will not review my purchase of dental floss.

Hopefully he won't show up at any World Cup games and ruin those too.

The Cure's Robert Smith perfectly sums up the difference between Americans and Brits.

I'm old enough to remember the USA's bicentennial celebrations. There is nearly nothing like that feeling this year, and what a shame.

I love how AMC trailers are now 1. Trailers 2. Ad for Amazon 3. More trailers 4. AMC ad telling you you’re at a movie 5. AMC ad reminding you that you’re at a movie 6. 5-sec cut of Nicole Kidman reminding you you’re at the movies 7. TURN OFF YOUR PHONE 8. Did you know you’re at the movies

The current trend of new graduates booing commencement speakers who are trying to get them excited about AI fills me with joy.

I'm calling on @Meta to cancel its plans to roll out harmful online ID checks by scanning our faces with its AI tools: www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/meta... www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/meta...

So many birthday greetings from apps and websites, it's so touching.

Not one single person that I know thinks that was real.

Hopefully the new Apple CEO won't be so quick to bend the knee.

Damnit Jim, I'm a doctor, not a messiah!

And that's as it should be.

I just wanted to live life, not constantly feel like I have to be on guard.

Wow, I can't decide if it's trolls or actual deniers on all the Artemis posts that I'm seeing. #artemisII
