The Cringiest LinkedIn Posts of the Week (August 19, 2023)

The Cringiest Parenting Texts of the Week (August 8, 2023)

Kids might say the darndest things, but so do parents. My mom recently told me a wild story about writer and composer Mary Rogers that proves that some people aren’t meant to be parents.

With all these screen-addled Zoomers whipping out their phones for TikTok breaks in the movie theater, it’s fair to say that the short form video app has completely changed the landscape of the culture that we live in.
