Claire: And this is Claire. Joy: And this is Joy and Claire. Happy Halloween! Claire: It’s not even close to Halloween. Joy: It’s October 3. I love October 3. Claire: It was October 3. Thank you all for sending us your Mean Girls memes. October 3 forever. Mean Girls applies to everything. Joy: Mean Girls applies to everything and truly is the best movie. When I was looking at all the Mean Girls posts yesterday – we’re recording this on Monday, October 4, which by the way I just got a news update that Facebook is down and Instagram is down. Which is really funny.  Claire: It explains, right. Joy: It feels like the world just shut down. Like, what are we going to do? Claire: What are we going to do? Joy: Wouldn’t it be nice if it just went away for a few days and no one could use it. Claire: I’ve been trying to post about my failed croissants and it’s not been loading, so I’ve been failing about posting about my failures. It’s just so meta. As I’ve said before, if I could go back in time and uninvent anything, it would be Facebook. It would be great. The world could heal. Joy: You know how in COVID times we had to collectively just not do anything? I think it would just be nice to not have Facebook for a while. Just cut if off at the source.

We all just need to take out all the satellites, except for the ones that we need to call our moms. Joy: Yes, exactly. And everyone that’s working at Facebook, just take a break. Everyone just take some self-care today. Claire: They can afford to pay you some extra PTO. They can give you all a sabbatical. Joy: Go to a COVID-safe vacation. Claire: Or just go home. Joy: Or go home and take a nap. I’m sure you work hard. Claire: Keep the satellites that allow me to call my friends and text my friends and my family and get rid of all the rest. Joy: That would be nice. Claire: And I know you guys are like, “You don’t know what you’re saying.
