Zoompocalypse, standing workplace, independence, tea with ice cream, bad Google Meet interface, debloating, the evolution of English, and government bureaucracy

Messengers

The newspaper is the worst content format out there. It’s impossible to read without crumbling its paper and getting furious about its massive size and idiotic foldedness

Cancel-culture and dialog
