A relatively recent advertising thing I don’t like: ads about parents with dementia to sell chocolate or whatever. Basically ad people shouldn’t be trying to “tell stories”. You picked the money. Make peace with that

Apple just autocorrected “misty” to “musty” without asking me and I think that might be it. It’s not a big thing but it’s it. The final straw. I’m gonna punt this phone through a wall
