Ever since I was a little girl, I always dreamed of growing up and getting yelled at by strangers on the internet about the word ‘irregardless.’

In food history, we notice how super-refined foods--gelatin, vienna sausage, white bread--lose class and become horrifying once they become industrialized. Suddenly, fingermarks in bread dough demonstrate skill, not clumsiness.
Post-chatGPT, I'm feeling this about writing. Smoothness feels gross.

Never bring a knife to a gun fight. Never bring a large bag of feathers to a fistfight. Don't bring anything to a MindFight, you're supposed to just do those ones with your mind.

Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night, thinking about an embarrassing thing you did once? Don't worry, everyone does that (thinks about that embarrassing thing you did, they think and talk about it all the time).

It is a coincidence that ‘emoji’ and ‘emoticon’ sound alike.
‘Emoji’ is a Japanese term meaning ‘pictograph’ (‘e’ is “picture, drawing” + ‘moji’ is “letter, character”).
‘Emoticon’ is ‘emotion’ + ‘icon.’
