Fruit Stripe Gum Is Gone Forever

Fruit Stripe gum had the unfortunate distinction of being the most delicious thing you've ever put in your mouth, a total whirlwind of flavor... for five seconds. Then it's just sugar, then shortly after that, it's just nothing. It's like something Willy Wonka would have wished for on a monkey's paw.

The First Social-Media Babies Are Growing Up—And They’re Horrified

It's fascinating that zoomers have rejected cutting-edge technology, trading their smartphones for flip phones and distancing themselves from social networks. They've been surrounded by technology their entire lives, and feel threatened by its ubiquity. They want to free themselves from the hive mind and just be alone with their thoughts for a change.

I love tech, but you know, I get it. Young adults probably feel like they've been trapped in a dystopian future, and desperately want a way out.

Sen Dianne Feinstein appears confused at meeting

I'm confused that she's AT the meeting.

The pharmacy near the Capitol fills prescriptions for dementia medication, and those pills are going to our representatives. If you're taking dementia medication and are an elected official, sorry, but it's time for you to go. We'll get you a watch. If you can't even remember who you are, you shouldn't be crafting our laws.

Morgan Stanley credits Bidenomics for 'much stronger' than expected GDP growth

I'm continually mystified by Biden's low polling numbers, compared to his on the job performance (and actually, you know, being on the job rather than golfing all the time). "But he's too old!" The other guy is just three years younger than he is.

Besides, if you wanted younger presidents, you should nominate them. Biden wasn't not old in 2020. If you choose Methuselah during the nomination process, that's kind of a you problem. Do the research beforehand and you won't have buyer's remorse later.
