Conan O’Brien (@ConanOBrien): I returned a book to the library today and learned they really prefer it to be a book that was previously checked out of a library.
Mark Hoppus (@markhoppus): You ever wake up in the middle of the night with an idea so utterly profound you write it down before it’s gone, only to wake up and realize it might be far less earth-shattering? My gem from last night: “Soiltude, isn’t.”
Chris Scott (@iamchrisscott): I love that the generation after millennials is called Generation Z like we all kinda know this whole thing is wrapping up soon.
