People who try to copy historical writing styles don't say enough weird stuff in them. I'm listening to a 1909 story about a ghost car right now, and the narrator just said he honked the car horn a bunch of times, but the way he phrased it was "I wrought a wild concerto on the hooter".
Taking effect July 2022, the US Suicide Prevention Hotline will change from 800-273-8255 to the three digit code of 988. Especially with families and communities reeling from back to back tragedies, it is super important to share this information!
Repeat: Starting July 2022, the US Suicide Prevention Hotline will be 988

First 1/2 of my brain: Oh my gosh! I’m so excited for this! The actors seem like they understand the characters so much! They got Rick Riordan to help make it like the books, and there’s going to be 8 whole episodes!
Second 1/2 of my brain: Hold on.
First 1/2: Huh? What?
Second 1/2: Remember what happened last time Disney was in charge of adapting a book series that we discovered in school?
First 1/2: But we never saw the BFG, and The Witches was tragically taken down, but that’s the fault of HBO MAX.
Second 1/2: Not those.
First 1/2: We haven’t watched the CGI Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
Second 1/2: Not that either.
First 1/2: Well then what are you talking abou- oh.
Second 1/2: Yup.
First 1/2: I thought we repressed that.
Second 1/2: We did, but skepticism demands we look at all available evidence.
First 1/2: It-it won’t be like that, that had major editing problems and was confined to a 2-hour time frame. Something that bad can’t happen again… right?
Second 1/2: Well, they did light up the Empire State Building blue, that at least shows that they’re willing to put a lot of funding towards it. But given the mouse’s track record for canceling things that don’t work with their “Standards and Practices” I don’t know. I guess we should just be willing to forgive but don’t forget anything that they’ve done before.
First 1/2: Okay… I’m still excited though.
Second 1/2: Oh, me too!
IM SO ANGRY
This explains a few things, but it also justifies my rage with inflation
I would say you could be somewhere better than here, but I don’t have much room to talk
