Fight the urge to take shortcuts. Use your brain! "Good at writing prompts" is no substitute for a fully functional brain. #AI #ChatGPT

Oh, me? I'm fine. I just watched #TheLastOfUs Season 2 Episode 2.

I may be in the minority here, but the last episode of #WhiteLotus was terrible. Lazy and gutless.

Calling it. #Nirvana is going to be a prominent part of my 2025 Spotify Wrapped because that #FIreAid set has me feeling those feelings that only blasting Heart Shaped Box as loud as possible can help.

Hello, friends of #NBASky (and all the recent new arrivals). Quick 🧵.
