HAPPY FRIDAY! Congratulations on graduating from what feels like the longest week in a year of extra-long weeks.

- “China is building a full-size Titanic replica because why not?” I mean, who wouldn’t feel safe sailing on that.
- Here is an official Pokemon song about Magikarp. a) I can’t believe I listened to the whole thing. b) Am I the only one who’s feeling serious Magikarp vibes at the end of this week? c)
Which Pokemon speaks deeply to your soul? And what’d you see today?
