Honestly, if this is the apocalypse, I was expecting more impressive trumpets and fewer Teams notifications. 0/10 for dramatic flair. 🎺 #DigitalDoomsday
Thanks Microsoft Teams for that not-at-all-chilling message 😧

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

This season was definitely a difficult one, but my Bears ended on a high note & beat those Packers in Lambeau! It’s also wild to think this is the first Bears win against the Packers in all three of my daughters’ lives. I love that I got to share this with them #BearDown #DaaBears

I cracked the code. Told my boomer dad that having motion smoothing on his TV 'makes it work twice as hard' and will 'wear it out faster' and now hes obsessed with making sure its off.

My 4 year old & I finally beat Breath of the Wild. Calamity Gannon may have been a bit scary for her, but we saved Hyrule! BotW will forever hold a special place because it created these memories I’ll always cherish….now onto Tears of the Kingdom. Maybe we can get her 2 year old sister in on the fun

For someone that picked last in this years fantasy draft order, I’d say getting a C-grade isn’t that bad football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/290699/1/...

Tears of the Kingdom has been out for months, but I’m still playing Breath of the Wild with my 4 year old. At this pace, we should have Tears of the Kingdom beat by the time she’s 10
