As our lives become more technology-driven and global emergencies re-define the way we live, whatever systems you run that cannot be sustained online, may however stand unsustainable in the long run. E-Wedding is here! @seunidowu @kielnuga @kipdemas https://twitter.com/...

You got a new dog. Bought a new car. Ordered new furniture. In the epoch of self quarantine, nothing quells that impulsive urge within. Can't wait any longer, who you gonna call? Well, video wedding is now legal in New York. Zoom in. https://www.cnet.com/...

Great! I'm getting a lot of calls about divorces though. How about we streamline our absurdly slow family law system while we're at it? https://twitter.com/...

Does anyone wanna get married? I want to make it clear we will divorce once the pandemic is over. I'm just kinda lonely and marrying someone for 18 months seems like a nice distraction. https://twitter.com/...

Many changes driven by the coronavirus will persist after it, and indeed will make most people wonder why they hadn't happened already. https://twitter.com/...
