    Did someone fix Geth? He seems to be sharing the [chat] creation wealth a bit more.

    I have a friend who teaches 6th grade and she overheard this one day:

    Girl 1: Do you know who Justin Timberlake is?

    Girl 2: Uhm... no.

    Girl 1: He's this old guy who's in some YouTube videos...

    My wife told me one of the Monkees died and I said that's sad, they're already an endangered species and she called me a philistine.

    I dunno. Geth picked the two people living in Upstate NY...

    Geth just has good taste.

    It's utterly remarkable (and not) how everything old is new again.

    And everything new is old again.

    I auditioned for an improv group in college and during a scene I made a reference to Peter Tork

    One guy in the group laughed real hard but he was the only one

    25 years later he's the one Facebook friend I have that posted about Peter Tork's death, and I nodded knowingly

    when you call someone from a cell phone but leave them a different number to call back

    and they don't call that number

    but just call the cell phone

    god voicemail is dumb

    But it's so easy to just touch the number that called you

    As opposed to thinking about numbers and, then having to pressing them individually, like our ancestors did

    it's a good thing trace got it because I would've just made one of my spectacular one line posts letting you know how much I truly love every one of you

    and possibly other lies we enjoy day to day

    That and people who leave phone numbers on voicemail always do it terribly.

    In my defense I almost always call a cell phone last because it's always harder to hear and talk to people on cells. Even if someone says, "I'm rarely at my desk, just call my cell," I'm going to call their desk first.

    Also because of stupid planning I work in a brand-new building that has godawful cell reception so I never want to make or receive calls on my cell.

    I'm at a bar and happening to watch a couple on a date or like afterwork hangout. They are so earnest and vulnerable and interested in each other. I can't remember the last time I was that open to another person

    Not since I told Chu that I loved him in that strange August rain

    Done.

    Most modern smart phones have the voice to text voicemail boxes that will hyperlink what the AI thinks is a phone number. Tapping the link launches the phone dialer.

    You should have waited until November.

    I have that modern cell phone and it only seems to try to do that transcription thing around 50% of the time. I love it and I want it all the time but it doesn't.

    We moved seats in the intermission to get away from the awful couple but they didn’t even come back for the second half.

    Fucking disgusting theatre casuals.

    I'm all for making theatre more accessible and encouraging non-theatre people to go and start evening out the sea of white hair we usually sit amidst.

    But goddamn if people that don't know the rules don't piss me off.
