Much much more sophisticated Culture Wars NLP bots: to autoparse dog-whistles and other political rhetoric; auto-syllogise and expand/refute claims; auto-link claims to supporting/debunking data. Etc. etc. etc.

Happiness is discovering that the bookstore whose demise you'd been mourning for a decade didn't close, it just moved. To maybe 5 minutes away from where you're now working. #firstPaychequeSpent
