  1. I just watched a TikTok video from someone on the left that was just a guy in the middle of the frame silently nodding and pointing to the screen at times while a windowed original video played in the corner.

    Is this common on TikTok, what influencer garbage is this “reaction?” They added literally nothing, just wanted to be next to someone else’s video?

    Who is watching or sharing this versus the original video?

    (I don’t use TikTok other than occasionally watching something forwarded on the web. I have no idea if this is normal “content” there hmmm.)

  2. I heard someone call themselves a transgender ally in the most sincere and context-appropriate way possible today… but it still feels a little weird to name yourself that.

    Am I too serious? Wonder what others think of people who name themselves allies for any group.

    Yeah I guess the context counts too. If they’re just doing it as a non-sequitur that’s a bad sign to me hah.

  3. The “Los Angeles Crypto.com arena” oh no.

  4. I can’t eat noodles with chopsticks without spraying sauce or soup on myself.

    Are others able?

    I’m fine handling them, it’s not about dropping things. Do I just need to eat noodles every day to improve? Sounds tasty, will consider.

    Happy to be reminded of Mr. Resetti today, the mole that chewed you out if you tried to cheat at Animal Crossing by turning off your GameCube without saving or resetting the system clock.

    (You could still do it, but he was very disappointed in you.)

    The article is pretty morbid, as is this example I had to share, omg:

    “The evidence against Samantha included, as usual, phone information, which revealed Internet searches for ‘what happens if you get in an accident with an Amish buggy and kill two people’”
