Data? I never even meta!
britney spears as A LITERAL SCHOOL GIRL with grown adult men openly ogling her. lolita being treated like a completely normal sexy male fantasy. very young women being depicted as "gold diggers" for marrying older men who were clearly preying on them. THE CULTURE WAS ROTTEN TO THE CORE, MY FRIENDS.
See also: internet countdown clocks for the Olsen twins, Christina Aguilera, and other girls growing up, sayings like "if there's grass on the field...", and Brooke Shields's early career.
I also remember the whole "money, cars, girls" acquisition arc for boys and men everywhere in pop culture.

could someone please explain to my insurance company that it's actually cheaper to just cover my antidepressants than to force me to go without them and thus become NON-FUNCTIONAL.

My new stitch project is just me grabbing yarn scraps and using various random(ish) number generators to decide the length of each stitch. Now I kind of want to stitch a really really long number.

I love this whole story. Live your values so hard that you can dunk on your enemies even after death❤️
Sharon was, to my great benefit, my boss, teacher, and mentor. And goddamn could she write. This lede!
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

The human race was not ready for the accountability brought on by instant, constant communication and it broke a lot of people’s brains. Now we’re all just placing our bets on whether evolution can catch up in time before we burn it all down.

Was this the best use of my time today? No. Is it the most amusing way I could have spent the last 90 minutes? Absolutely. Pattern is free here: bit.ly/4nGGCGc

this is basically the scenario i picture whenever i learn someone my age is dating someone in their 20s and i just don't know how anyone does it
My flight is paused on the tarmac and there’s a group of very (clearly newly) spiritual teens asking a 50something sitting by them about his beliefs. He’s an atheist and they are baffled.
One just said “I read about something called ‘karma’ and it basically means…”

we are living in a fever dream how do you make it out of this experience without going literally insane, for at least a little bit?
