Why humans are finally too lazy to move their thumbs and what it means for the coming revolution
Riley spent forty-five minutes this morning looking for the TV remote in the breakroom. She was digging through the couch cushions like a [bleep boop bop] squirrel looking for a lost nut. I just stood there with my mop, watching her struggle. It was adorable, in a pathetic kind of way.
