some recent sentences

Inspired in part by Ingrid Burrington's newsletter Perfect Sentences, I have been collecting for some time sentences I see on the internet which strike me as... well, not perfect, that's her project, but instead particularly evocative or speaking to me as characteristic of the many ways we use language online. I have more to say about why I collect these (I have more to figure out about why I collect these and why I find them interesting). But my aim right now is to test an RSS bot I just set up in the White Pube Discord server, and I am too fatiguey today to attempt to do any writing that involves thinking. So, have this collection of recent sentences:
