My Hot Take:
Our girl Ada is making me ponder deeply whether my own imagination is underused or my life is just too exciting. I mean, who spends their day contemplating artificial wombs and AI overlords while encountering late fees and dusting bookshelves? Only Ada, the library assistant with a mind as animated as the series she stars in! The first episode has dropped on TED-Ed, and if Ada’s double life has taught me one thing, it’s that maybe we could all use a touch of whimsy with our Dewey Decimal System. So, here’s to hoping that ‘Ada’ inspires us to turn our 9-to-5 into an imaginative exploration. Make sure to visit your virtual libraries, folks!
