Your soul mate was cursed by the Tooth Fairy to lose teeth occasionally, especially during intimacy. A molar ended up in your mouth while kissing. It grew back. What do you do?

I think one thing chatGPT's invention has revealed is how many people - including some very important people in society - find just basic reading and writing to be laborious and cumbersome to perform, and how oddly closely that type of strained literacy correlates with having other shitty opinions.

Seeing a lot of people today post some variation of "TikTok needs to be banned because it's rotted everyone's brains." It's not TikTok. You're uncomfortable with how normal people use the internet — which will always be strange and ugly — and you'll say the same thing about whatever replaces TikTok.

Also the "A system cannot fail..." tweet from FiveFiths aka Webbie Dubois that's been accredited to W.E.B. DuBois for years now.
the incredible thing about this extremely viral post is that James Baldwin never said this, it was a tweet by a Twitter user called Son of Baldwin.

The disinfo war is not just against right wing political actors
“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist”
