One of my favourite social media trends post 2020 was fact/opinion vertical short form videos. I learned so much. Now, though, if it's a single creator talking into the camera, or a voice talking over graphics, I wait for the ChatGPT tells and scroll on.

Climbing Everest is not exclusive enough an activity - Nepal only charges $11k for a permit! The poors should be priced out so only billionaires can summit. Make it the ultimate status symbol. Also make it compulsory

It's not just Canada. Denmark is going even further. Times change.

The decision will end 400 years of the company's letter service, and postboxes will disappear from June.

Conservatives won the student election at the kid's elementary school. Which, if the kids are on social media, is perhaps not too surprising
