Reformed January 6th participant (who refused a pardon): “You can't gaslight me. I was there. I saw the officers being pepper sprayed. I watched one of them fall down and hit his head and his back. So don't be telling me it wasn't violent.”

Love how the Stranger Things fans have started to clown around as much as Swifties when they develop theories based on Easter Eggs. Pure madness. #conformitygate

#ConformityGate is the most delusional (pop culture) conspiracy theory.
Netflix, the capitalist entity, does NOT have the self-control to keep a lid on a secret 9th episode of #StrangerThings; they would be milking the hell out of it in promos.
Pre-scheduled BTS social posts aren't evidence.

My 2026 Prediction:
2026 will be the first year an AI will create a meme *on its own* that will go viral *on its own* / at the hands of AI.
(A meme generated and spread fully by AI, NOT originating from the prompting of a human or input.)

Something I'm noticing in #Plur1bus; the hivemind knows Carol is an alcoholic, but they aren't doing anything to curb it - quite the opposite, they have repeatedly served her alcohol. I get "your life is your own," but her alcoholism has partially been responsible for killing millions of people.

Not sure why, but I finally identified the odd flavor I always get with #A&W #RootBeer, that's always thrown me off; there's this weird "rubbing alcohol" kind of middle note on every sip of A&W root beer and I don't understand it.
#Barq's is where it's at; crisp and refreshing.

Executive orders are not laws. Can we stop pretending they are? How does the executive branch get to dictate policy to private sports leagues?

A part of me wonders if Nancy is gonna die. It doesn’t make any sense to kill off her given the love triangle... which makes her the perfect person to kill since nobody would expect it.

Friday night marketing shower thought:
OpenAI should rebrand #ChatGPT to GPT.
Sooner rather than later.
Same reason The Facebook simplified to Facebook.
GPT can verbified like "Google it" whereas "ChatGPT it" is cumbersome.
(Open)AI is here to stay; this is a simple way to boost its brand longevity.
