Every example of ai being useful begins with "okay imagine you're in a situation, and you are very dumb"

As I left the house this morning I dithered a bit, until I told myself sternly "IT'S FINE, anything you forget you can live without", and headed for the airport...

Saw Rebecca Black at The Forum last night, and the vibe was immaculate. She was stoked because it's the biggest solo headline show she's ever had 🥹
