They should invent an app where you only post pictures:

One chronological feed of still photos
One button: “🙂”
No videos
No chat
No comments
No tags
No reposts

Invent that app and I’d use it

Season 1 of #BlackMirror may be short, but every episode hits like a gut punch. From political satire to emotional horror, these stories feel disturbingly close to home.

How would you rank them?

And is “The Entire History of You” the most underrated heartbreak story ever?

#1. The Entire History of You

What if you could rewatch every moment of your life?

This quiet, devastating story of a jealous man unraveling is peak Black Mirror—sci-fi tech meets raw emotional collapse.

It’s not just about memory—it’s about trust, perception, and knowing when to let go.

#2. The National Anthem

The one that started it all. The plot sounds absurd on paper—a Prime Minister blackmailed into a grotesque act on live TV—but it plays disturbingly real.

It’s not about shock for shock’s sake—it’s about us, the viewers, watching.

#3. Fifteen Million Merits

Imagine a future where your entire life is pedaling for digital currency, bombarded by ads, and the only way out is through reality TV.

Daniel Kaluuya delivers a monologue so raw it cuts through the satire.
It’s bleak, brilliant—but a little too didactic at times.

Ranking every Black Mirror Season 1 episode

It’s only 3 episodes long, but Season 1 hits hard—political nightmares, soul-crushing romance, and reality-TV hellscapes.

Here’s how I rank them, from “unsettling” to “this episode lives in my brain now.”
A thread.

I mis-numbered my book challenge list and that’s the kind of mistake that will stick with me for a long time.

The episode of the Office where Michael talks to the business school class is so over the top cringey that I almost cannot watch it. Just brilliant.

Auburn 83, Iowa State 81.

Johni Broome with an incredible display, including multiple made threes and the game-winning tip-in. He's absolutely backing up his preseason #1 ranking at EvanMiya.com. He's so valuable to the Tigers.

UCONN is going to lose this basketball game and it’s my fault because I put money on them for the first time in three years.

I am 100% not seeing Wicked and it is 100% based on the way those two are acting in interviews.
