When children turn 8, they are given the option of manifesting their imaginary friend into reality in exchange for sacrificing their remaining imagination. Your “friend” assumes he’s about to be manifested, but you’ve always secretly wanted to be a writer when you grow up.
honestly my favorite new phenomenon is the haiku bot coming in at the end of super serious posts. it’s like watching a supervillain come to a crushing defeat and then getting run over by a roomba.
It’s about 4am and I’ve been laughing for a solid hour straight about Daddy Topps and Don Bluth’s Dragonsona.
Burger King’s video on “Whopper Neutrality” – an analogy to explain Net
Neutrality that’s also obviously a marketing campaign for Burger King
– is a surprisingly great explainer, but even more importantly, it’s an
important bellwether for corporate America’s perception of public
support for Net Neutrality.
It’s unheard of for middle-of-the-road, please-everyone corporations
like Burger King to take sides in controversial policy fights
(exceptions, like Chick-Fil-A’s public, prominent homophobia,
are noteworthy because they’re so rare and were such a disaster for the
company). When your customer base is sufficiently broad, any stance you
take will cost you as many customers as it will win you, after all.
But Net Neutrality enjoys farcically high support – 83%! – and virtually the only “persons” who oppose Net Neutrality are bots and media corporations, and they don’t buy hamburgers.
