THIS JUST RIPPED MY HEART OUT

[MobiLibrarian @MobiLibrarian]

Get any physical book from a library or thrift shop. Have your kid read one chapter. Have them write by hand one paragraph about what they read. Talk about it with them. Your kid is now destined for the top 10% in the future. The bar is low & getting lower.

i unlocked my higher self when my third eye opened and i realized the cringe lyrics are literally the point.

“I can’t believe she wrote folklore and then wrote songs like cancelled and wood”

And they’ll only quite the girlboss quote or the lines where she’s being purposefully cheesy instead of acknowledging how great these are

I wish it was more common knowledge that almost all regulations exist because companies weren’t doing these things on their own and bad things were happening because of it.

I’ve been keeping a list of all the news stories dominating my algorithm and the general news cycle in 2026. It is wild to see how quickly we move on and sometimes even forget some of these things.

1996: can't use the internet without your phone

2010: the internet stretches before you like the vast expanse of a new frontier. You dance through it, unhindered. Unburdened. You have never heard of 2-factor authentication.

2026: can't use the internet without your phone

At a certain point we will simply have to decide, collectively, that being entertained all the time is unhealthy, that some things should only be done by humans, that the artistic and intellectual life is worth pursuing and defending, otherwise we’re not going to make it.

Please, God, let generative AI and chatbots die out the way NFTs did, with a fast, graceless fall into irrelevance.

[taylor gates @Elphaba_Anne]

would give anything to go back to a world without AI lol like i'm so unbelievably tired of this stupid bullshit having everyone in a chokehold 🥲

It's not a mystery, y'all.

Like a lot of people, I have old shows like Star Trek, The Office, Frasier, and Big Bang Theory on perpetual rotation - because they're fun and relatable. When Netflix runs these shows, they do well, even with young people.

Why?

Because, ultimately, it's about the characters. We don't care about expensive sets and CGI. People want to watch people. We develop parasocial relationships with characters if we like them and see them often enough, and that's what keeps us coming back.

We used to get 23 self-contained episodes spaced out once a week. We had lots of time and unique situations each week to get to know the characters. They became fixtures in our lives to the point that a few months off in the summer only built anticipation for the new season, like getting to see all your old pals at the start of the school year.

Now we binge 6 or 8 episodes of what's essentially a very long movie. Not enough time, not enough world-building, not enough exposure to feel like the characters are part of our lives. No one says, "This is my favorite episode!" with these shows because it's all part of one big arc. Like, as much as I enjoyed season 3 of Picard, I can't remember any particular episode. But I can recall, in detail, dozens of episodes of TNG.

I just don't have the energy to get invested in new shows anymore. It's like being offered a huge meal that I know I'll forget about the next day. I want to get to know characters over time and feel like I inhabit their world and they're part of mine. I want to see them in a variety of situations instead of in one big arc.

So, how can they fix this? Sometimes what's old is new again. Can we just go back to some version of what worked?

The irony of Trump calling FIFA to overturn
a red card for Balogun because he knows the U.S. can’t win without Balogun, who only qualifies for the U.S. team because of birthright citizenship, which Trump just tried to overturn.

If taywedding weekend taught me anything, it’s that everybody’s so punk on the internet.

[rosie ☁️ @tayvseal]

Taylor’s wedding being the place Paul McCartney plays I Want To Hold Your Hand live for the first time since the 1960s and twitter basement dwellers think she gaf if y’all think she’s tacky 😭😭

[irene anna❤️‍🔥 @enerianna]

I love that they met in their 30s, I love that they’re the same age, & I love that they had this big big wedding at 36

[☁️ @lifeofanopalite]

we lie back. a beautiful, beautiful time lapse. ferris wheels, kisses, and lilacs and things i said were dumb. cause i thought that i’d never find that beautiful, beautiful life that shimmers that innocent light back like when we were young.
