Yeah, I stopped taking it in jest the first time fuckhead won. I immediately knew that this, widespread political violence, was the only way the Trump era could possibly go out. When people asked how I felt or what I was thinking post-election, I’d somberly say, “This isn’t going to end peacefully.”

All signs pointed here. It was clear this narcissist cult-leader was leading a movement of violent, hate-filled, devoted followers who were itching to take out their impotent rage on anyone dear leader pointed to. Then it was clear a huge swath of the country saw all of this and thought it worth putting into power. The time to laugh was over the minute that election was called.

When I was more active on dating sites in my 20s, I encountered a lot of people who held up travel as this big, important thing in their lives. I recall at least one profile where a guy said, “Love of travel is a must.”

At first, I was annoyed - travel takes money and time, which I don’t have. Why limit potential dates in that way?

But then I realized, maybe that’s the point? Someone with the leisure time and spending money can easily filter dates to just those in their socio-economic status by making frequent recreational travel a requirement. My poor ass never had a chance.

Don’t Penn and Teller regularly perform in Las Vegas? I’m not a gambler, but I’d totally go to Vegas just to see those two.

When Facebook status windows automatically had an “is” following your name. So posts would start with “Mary is” and you’d fill in what you’re doing or how you’re feeling.

When Twitter used SMS and you could use it just to follow your favorite band, so whenever they posted it felt like you got a text from them. That was pretty cool.
