redistricting sometimes changes this, even if you don't move ... but, yeah, not knowing who the senators are?

Toys/books/general kid material that’s designed to get children into programming. Actually probably not innocuous but I’m not sure where else this fits.

If that's actually what it's doing I don't mind it; it's more the games and things that slap on STEM and CODING on the box because they have to follow a rule or use the most basic bit of logic that annoy me.

i saw someone post pictures from an instagram-optimized bookstore that made me irrationally embarrassed. really, i feel irrationally embarrassed by any sort of irl business that is designed for people to take pictures for social media there.

Oh dear. At least they actually sell books. There's a whole chain of places (Selfie WRLD) where literally all they sell is the opportunity to take pictures of yourself with your own camera against various moderately compelling backgrounds. It's only $25 an hour!

the poster for Taylor Swift's tour movie looks like her farting into a microphone and I can't unsee it.

Ooh I've got a good one:
There's a barbershop in the shopping area of town that has the words "Men's Crêche" stuck in large letters on the front window

I keep getting TikToks of impressionists doing celebrity impressions to the celebrity. Like “Paul Giamatti meets ‘Paul Giamatti’”
I haven’t actually watched any of them because the concept seems excruciating

Imagine someone doing an impression of you to you and having someone else film it while it’s happening

I was once at a formal conference dinner where part of the 'entertainment' was a guy who came round to the table and drew caricatures of guests. Some people were clearly uncomfortable with the way they were portrayed, but had to sit with the thing on the table until the end of the evening when they could leave and throw it away.

i have this habit of writing posts here, finishing them, seeing something I don't like in the first paragraph and fixing it, and forgetting to re-read the second paragraph to make sure the rewrites don't completely ruin the transition from one paragraph to another.
then requiring a follow-up post clearing up what I meant when I realize it now looks like gibberish

In this modern age, I feel like I have to look at my phone while waiting for my to-go order/coffee drink or else I’ll look impatient.
