I’d love to give attribution but can’t recall where I saw this. So, to whomever came up with this phrase[2]to define social media’s power to make users feel left out,[3]I nominate you forBest Description of The Downside Tech’s Effect on Our Collective Psyches– a very competitiv...
"Yeah, we can talk about it. I can give you some facts, but I don't want to say too much because there won't be anything to talk about when it comes out. There's 13 tracks on it, three of which are the singles from this album. But they're vastly different versions - they've...
