Oh, I have so many. But here are my 2 biggest gripes: 1. There are too many apps. Not everything needs an app. Stop trying to get me to download your stupid app. 2. Selfies are so boring. Show me pics of other things. Beautiful things. Not just your face from different angles. More later...

I don't want a video explaining how to do the thing. I want step-by-step instructions in a plain text document, on a single page, ideally that I can see all of without scrolling while using a reasonably big font.

I've been watching basketball a long time and I've never seen a player fouled while shooting by their teammate who was being fouled. So odd.

I would not need to learn to manage my anger if more people would learn to manage their stupidity 😒

I'm not a New Yorker, but I reject this information. I used the word this week!

A'ja was shocked the fever won me too girl

WNBA Playoffs so special

After a year and a half of not knowing where his family was, Sudanese father Shamoun Idris reunited with his wife and seven children after spotting them in an Al Jazeera report.

For my health, I can't read this at the moment. But I'm sharing because it's the type of information one should read if it wouldn't put them at risk for some sort of cardiac event.

There's something about the way I speak Spanish that instantly lets people who do speak Spanish know that I do not speak Spanish 🤣 I'm really trying, though!

Spent an evening with some high school seniors. let me tell you, the kids are not ok, but they are alright

I am perplexed by people who work in airports but who move with no sense of urgency....

BRING BACK EXPERTS

Sitting on a flight scheduled for 6:45 AM in a town with a noise abatement that forbids flights from taking off before 7 AM... So why was this flight scheduled for 6:45 AM?!

If ever you felt like I was being mean... know that I can be meaner.

Well, I've joined a Nigerian bookish WhatsApp group. It's going exactly as I'd imagined it would

📚Celebrating National Book Lover's Day by looking at my 'currently reading' list, seeing I've got a book in every format going (physical, eBook, and audio), and internally giggling like a mad professor thinking, "what have I done?" Also - drinking coffee. #booksky #books #nationalbookloversday

Omg, seconded! Where can I sign this petition?

There is something really uncomfortable to me about how much folks preying on the elderly shifts our dynamics with our parents

Few things humble you quicker than seeing a video recording of yourself doing yard work...

Is there a word for the rush one feels downloading PDFs of journal articles as one prepares to begin writing a new piece? Or am I the only weirdo who finds this act exciting?

The point of removing reading and writing from everyday life is to shrink the world to individuals’ immediate experience. The point of rendering words meaningless is that doing so hollows out any possibility of social communion. The point is to isolate and render helpless.

Yall asking Grok questions like it’s not pumping out 1000 cubic meters of poison gas into South Memphis every 15 minutes all so MFs can get a corny ass screenshot to dunk on.

disagreement and criticism of ideas are great! I argue for a living! But if the first thing you have to say to me on here includes an unprovoked insult there won't be a second thing, and I don't especially care what point you were making along the way. I think this is pretty good online etiquette
