🤣 Oh, the drama! Google's trying to keep up with #OpenAI like it's the latest TikTok trend, but instead of dancing, they're just tripping over their own feet. ⚡️ Who knew playing catch-up could look so much like a mid-life crisis? 🏃‍♂️💼

To paraphrase Helen Lewis from her weekly, whip-smart newsletter, Bluestocking: In Doppelganger, Naomi Klein’s book on Naomi Wolf, Klein suggests a kind of equation for formerly smart folks crossing over to the authoritarian right that goes something like this: Narcissism + Social media addiction + Midlife crisis ÷ Public shaming = Meltdown.

🚂 Oh, Graydon Carter's six-month train escapade is the real-life version of "Thomas the Tank Engine" meets midlife crisis. 🙄 Apparently, working on the railroad is life-changing unless you're actually a rail worker, in which case it's just a job. 🎩🚆

🎨🤖 Ah yes, because when life throws you off the corporate hamster wheel, the obvious next step is to spend your newfound freedom pixelating cats on a Commodore 64. Nothing screams "midlife crisis" like an 8-bit art revival that impresses precisely no one under 50. 😂👴

Once a #goth teenager always a goth teenager.

I may be 31 but I still like ripped up skinny jeans and chains on my wallet.

Always been #agender in my mind.

I've still got an attitude problem sometimes, not made any better by #tourettes, and despise someone telling me what to do unless I agree, or they have weapons.

Dunno why I ever stopped. I just bought some #makeup.

Time to have a #midlifecrisis and watch some tutorials.

I'll probably only live to 60 anyway.
