I'm catching up on my friends feed and feel like I have been transported back to high school with all of these FF and VNV Nation references. 😂

My 5-year-old keeps saying "diarrhea" instead of "diary," and I think I'm done trying to correct her on it.

"Don't look at my diarrhea!"

"I'm going to hide my diarrhea!"

"I can't wait to show my friends my diarrhea!"

Travelers visiting the United States from countries like Britain, France, Germany and South Korea could soon have to undergo a review of up to five years of their social media history, according to a proposal filed on Tuesday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The change would affect visitors eligible for the visa waiver program, which allows people from 42 countries to travel to the United States for up to 90 days without a visa as long as they first obtain electronic travel authorization. In a document filed on Tuesday in the Federal Register, C.B.P. said it plans to ask applicants for a long list of personal data including social media, email addresses from the last decade, and the names, birth dates, places of residence and birthplaces of parents, spouses, siblings and children. Under the current system, applicants from visa waiver countries must enroll in the Electronic System for Travel Authorization program. They pay $40 and submit an email address, home address, phone number and emergency contact information. The authorization is good for two years.

I don't need religion or God to give my life meaning; seeing green tick marks on my deployment pipelines gives it meaning.

What is the point of making Starbucks baristas write mostly illegible, trite messages on coffee cups?

There's nothing like a mandatory policy dictated by a faceless corporate overlord to bring humanity to a brand. 🌟🌈❤️🌟💲🌟💲🌟💲

Do people even use the word "literally" in its literal sense anymore?

CDC guidance is worse than useless if your insurance company can't tell you if the covid vaccine will be covered for your kid because of it.
