    One Has To Go (MM #5363)
    2025/11/27
    Are you looking for a little tidbit for conversation around the Thanksgiving dinner table today? Perhaps you can talk about the meme that’s been circulating on social media for the last month. There are different variations, but they all show you nine pictures of Thanksgiving food items. And the theme of this meme is that one has to go. The pictures aren’t always the same, but you usually see turkey, potatoes, rolls, pie, green bean casserole, and cranberry sauce. It’s interesting to think about which one you choose. It’s pretty silly, but it could make for some interesting discussion. I know which I would prefer, but it wouldn’t make my wife very happy...

    No Notifications (MM #5362)
    2025/11/26
    Usually, when there are no notifications on your smartphone, that's a good thing. Well, sometimes, it's actually a bad thing. While I don't often prefer my apps to leave notifications, there are some I need to keep active for work-related reasons, like Slack and email messages. Clients need to be able to get a hold of you when they need. But recently, some notifications on my iPhone have stopped, and while I haven't missed anything important, I'm still missing things, which isn't good. I've tried rebooting the phone, but nothing has changed. Perhaps it's a problem on their end...

    Algospeak (MM #5361)
    2025/11/25
    I’ve long made it my goal to learn something new, even a minor thing, every day. I learned something the other day that I only understood in concept. I didn’t know that there was a word actually to describe this situation. It’s called algospeak. It’s a list of secret phrases that you can’t use on social media. There is no place where you can find these words; you just have to learn about them on your own. It’s almost like an urban legend, but it’s real. Algospeak is built around the idea that your social media algorithms hide content that uses words and phrases they don’t want you to use. Life would be much easier if this were out in the open...

    Travel Etiquette (MM #5360)
    2025/11/24
    The Department of Transportation thinks we have a problem with air travel. It has nothing to do with a shortage of air traffic controllers. It’s about how we conduct ourselves. They’re worried about our travel etiquette. The government envisions air travel returning to the way it was in the 1950s, when people dressed up to fly. All of this really has to do with unruly passengers and the number of incidents on airplanes over the last decade or so. And while the number of unruly passengers actually peaked in 2021, they are still double what they were prior to the pandemic. Everybody has a short fuse these days, but I doubt dressing up to fly will help...

    Tuna Fish (MM #5359)
    2025/11/23
    I'm always finding things on the Internet that will send me down a rabbit hole. A simple story can keep me researching for hours. For example, the other day I was reading about the nuances of being a Baby Boomer, a Gen Xer, a Gen Zer, and a Millennial. And the one thing it noted was that Gen Z and Millennials don't like canned tuna fish, while it's still a popular choice among Baby Boomers. And while I can't speak for every member of the baby boom, I still love canned tuna. I love a great tuna steak, but a can of tuna makes a fine snack. I can also use it for lunch, but tuna on crackers, I can taste it right now...

    Pre-Black Friday (MM #5358)
    2025/11/22
    The last couple of weeks have been sheer torture. I've been getting a ton of emails about pre-Black Friday sales. And of course, there's nothing in them for anybody I'm buying for; it's great savings for me. I started getting Black Friday emails back around Halloween, but the sales weren't that great. There was nothing special inside. But in the last couple of weeks, the emails have been fast and furious, and the savings have been fantastic. With the uncertain economy, businesses are looking to get people into stores and buying online. I shouldn't complain because there are a few things I've needed, but now I wish they'd offer up some savings for the people on my Christmas list...

    AI Slop (MM #5357)
    2025/11/21
    Outside of politics, one of the most talked-about subjects this year has been artificial intelligence. And even that has political aspects. Too many, it's something brand new and something they're just encountering online. But engineers, designers, and experts have been working on AI for a long time. And already some people are tired of it. It's impacted social media to the point that some people have coined a term for the negative aspects of this technology: AI slop. Well, many people use it as a shortcut, and with that comes the shortcoming. But in our world of constantly spamming people with data, they don't care how bad it's getting...

    Parasocial (MM #5356)
    2025/11/20
    It's hard to believe we're just 40 days away from the end of the year. And that means all of the year-end lists and 2025 accolades are starting to come our way. I actually get excited about these silly things. Because, when you look back, they truly explain the year that was, or in this case, the one that is. The Cambridge Dictionary has announced its word of the year: parasocial. While it didn't have anything to do with social media initially, it does today. It explains the phenomenon of people thinking they're connected with celebrities or characters from TV shows, movies, or books; people they genuinely don't know in real life...
