“I forgot how sleeveless the 90s were.” — @JoshHuddly

They should make Apple Music Jam, that’s like the opposite of Apple Music Sing, where you can dial down individual instruments and then just jam along on your own drums or whatever.

Also, they really missed an opportunity for a callback to Chandler’s mom’s romance novels in the next episode — going, instead, with Danielle Steele.

I say, why not honor TWO powerful romance novelists— Steele & Bing?

In S1 Ep11 of Friends, Ross kisses Chandler’s mom, which (naturally) upsets Chandler & prompts Joey to explain “the code” (not kissing a guy’s mom).

Then, I wondered how my friends & family & I would feel about it.

Lol, then I remembered a bunch of our parents are dead now. 🫠

Contemplating adding a daily fun fact, but it’s just a realization that made me feel old recently.

My latest is flashlight apps on pre-flash smart phones that just made your screen white.

I think that's enough internet for today

Let's see what the pocket sized internet is doing

My sisters & brothers-in-law live in a winter wonderland, and I am fully here for the magic.

I mean — did capitalism & twinkle lights just cure my depression?

Running my own instance is cool because I can determine which hashtags show up in trends. So I can make it just be cool sh*t I’m interested in instead of whatever the latest bullsh*t politics or natural disaster or gun violence thing is going on. Way better for my mental health.
Considering how little was restricted in our house, media-wise, the fact that we weren’t allowed to watch anything deemed a soap opera feels ridiculous. Our father was convinced that watching soap operas, not postpartum depression & isolation & codependency, is what had our mom dangerously depressed. Sure, Paul, it’s All My Children’s fault.
My cleaning/organizing of my home office has been mostly aspirational so far, but I can feel it in my bones: I’m gonna make significany progress today.
