Never mind the high school lit haters. We'd all be better off if people took another pass through their old reading assignments.

Automated writing tools will stunt your growth—but only if you let them.

don’t purge me bro

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

We’re purging accounts that have had no activity at all for several years, so you will probably see follower count drop

@BillyM2k Can it be called JERKL?

This is some serious fucking bullshit. Knox's attorney says it best: "'Fuck the Police' was 'not intended to be taken literally, something that a reasonable listener with even a casual knowledge of rap would understand.'" #FreeSpeech https://t.co/vmz8UOaW54

@HuffPost I just like the idea of a White Walker art director agonizing over which limbs to use.

“No, no, that one’s much too short. It’s making this bend in the spiral too sharp. Have we got any bigger legs left? Or arms? Check some of the larger children’s corpses…”

It was so great to see Jon Snow win his first Masters since Season 7. He is truly the King in the PGA. Hopefully he and Daenerys can get their shit together in time to save the Notre Dame Cathedral.

Hate or hate not. There is no "meh."

#StarWars reactions today.

Disney just bought that black hole they photographed the other day.

You are strong. Every small thing you do has the power to make the world a better place. For instance, not beginning internet comments with, “meh.” Think how much brighter the future could be.

[Jon Swihart @JonisDelicious]

That would never hap—

[Dan Kaminsky @dakami]

Well, shit.

[Jon Swihart @JonisDelicious]

Yeah, sure, but what if I just want to feel good without having to do very much?

[Johann Hari @johannhari101]

If you have a friend going through a crisis, never say “if I can help, let me know.” It sounds vague, perfunctory. I try to always say: “please tell me what I can do to help: I want to help you.” Friendship is a commitment: always show up in a crisis; always say this.

[Jon Swihart @JonisDelicious]

haha what no way im so surprised

[Jon Swihart @JonisDelicious]

You probably already know this but @ArianaGrande’s song “NASA” is real good. The vocal arrangement in the first verse builds such a beautiful soundscape. I can't get enough. Listen on headphones.

It’s possible we live on a timeline where The Simpsons gets rebooted while the original series is still airing new episodes.

[Ezra Klein @ezraklein]

"Why is 'Merrick Garland' trending on Twitter?"

Oh.

THE INTERNET 2019: What if everything was a March Madness bracket?

[Jon Swihart @JonisDelicious]

When are scrolls going to make a comeback? I feel like it's been enough time. Or stone tablets? Just think of the market potential for kitschy, ironic chisels at your local home decor store.

@knguyen NYT: Behold! This fascinating confluence of text and image!

MILLENNIAL: Yes, Mom, Instagram essayist IS a real job.

TECH STARTUP: What if we invented a website where you could post lots of words and photos—get this—AT THE SAME TIME?
