“Touch grass” is definitely going to confuse historians trying to understand why everyone in the 2020s was so obsessed with lawns.
Grief makes things deeply personal, and that's understandable. But the hardest test of our principles is whether we can still stand by them when our emotions are telling us otherwise.
Even rejecting religion can become part of someone's identity and worldview. But having deeply held beliefs isn't necessarily the same thing as being religious.
Robert Pattinson went from Hufflepuff to vampire to Batman. At this point, James Bond would just be another stop on the career side quest.
Imagine having chemistry so strong you can't stand each other but still keep making plans. That's not a relationship, that's a recurring conflict of interest.
The fact that half of us can't remember how we got home probably explains why Uber became so successful.

One of the easiest ways to lose track of your spending is to think in monthly payments instead of annual costs.
£12.99 a month sounds forgettable.
£155.88 a year makes you stop and think.
Same price. Different perspective.
There’s something ridiculous about needing to book annual leave just to do things that are only open while you’re at work.
Dentist. Bank. Deliveries. Tradespeople.
Half the challenge of being an adult is finding a Tuesday afternoon when you’re apparently not supposed to have a job.
Social media has convinced everyone they deserve the top 1% while putting in absolutely no effort to become someone the top 1% would want to date.
The watchlist got shorter, you experienced some culture, and you relaxed. That's three things accomplished in my book.
We've somehow reached a point where making sure children don't go hungry is considered controversial. That's a pretty depressing reflection of our priorities.
