Not sure who this affects, but Okkervil River is on my work's playlist.

There is so much humanity in working in restaurants that it's overwhelming at times. Tonight, I assisted a party in revealing their pregnancy to their family. The Father was elated and surprised to be a grandfather. His joy was palpable.

Like...can we have anything that resembles the old internet? Why does everything need to be for profit? I fucking hate it here.

I hate to say this because I know how it sounds, but be really careful of the media that you consume today. Also, if you're able, be introspective. Be skeptical. Ask questions. Try not to react. READ BOOKS.

The Trump administration is barely making an effort to convince the public to get behind a war with Iran. But without a powerful anti-war movement, ‘manufacturing consent’ is not even necessary. www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-war...

Honestly...if I wasn't working in a restaurant, I don't know what I would do.

The problem with investigating and policing the system is that it gets to a point where the investigators investigate themselves. Like...the E Files are part of the system. People who benefit from the system will continue to make excuses to save it. Functionalism.

I just don't think people are using AI "correctly" before they are staunchly opposed to it. Personally, I think it is pretty much trash at creating artistic content. But...if you prompt it to coach you through an artistic process, it works really well at guiding and brainstorming.

Some people watch the Mummers parade. I rewatch a show about gay hockey players on New Year's Day. Honestly, it's not too different.

A memory that lives in my head rent free is Pacey working at a restaurant thin slicing pounds and pounds of potatoes for the head chef and then the head chef throws out ALL of the potatoes and introduces Pacey to truffles. 100% would never happen in a real restaurant.

The fascinating thing I find about billionaire culture is that they're all so...UNCOOL. Like socially, aesthetically, emotionally,etc... BUT...they all want to be perceived as heroic and COOL. And they aren't even with BILLIONS of dollars.

What do you call the feeling where you want to get rid of all social media and streaming services, just read books and watch physical media...and yet fearing that this will cause loneliness and detachment from society?

Listening to T Swift and all I can think about is how she used my employee bathroom at work.

NPR is a product stuffed with ads. It receives relatively little in government funding and is mostly paid for by corporations, including the fossil fuel industry. We’d be better off if it were fully publicly funded, free from corporate influence. www.currentaffairs.org/news/2022/09...

Something I have on repeat in my head is when Iris asked TJ what he likes to do and he said I like to build things...and I thought he was talking about like Habitat for Humanity or something but no...he was talking about fucking Legos. #🤦🏻‍♂️ #loveisland

It's not for everyone and I hesitate to recommend but...I can't stop thinking about the movie The Sadness. I think it affected my brain chemistry.

Not in a weird way and I don't presume what she was doing in there but...I can't wrap my brain around that Taylor Swift used the employee bathroom next to my office.

Bernie Sanders is one of the most popular politicians in the US, and his analysis remains as relevant as ever. While his Tour to Fight Oligarchy is inspiring and important, the broad left badly needs a political vision that goes beyond Sanders. www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-lef...

There's a lot of reasons against ChatGPT that are valid, but having it analyze your digital journal is like getting quality cheap therapy.

There is a certain South Jersey accent which is not loud except that it cuts through the audio frequency spectrum and is very cutting.

Ok. The funk band is not particularly funky and they are very white, but they are also pretty good as a band.

Something I think about more frequently than not is this moment in Mars Attacks where the aliens are killing everything in sight while broadcasting on the faulty translators that they mean no harm.

There are too many extremely rich people in the Democratic Party, and it therefore cannot take any actions that threaten the power of the ruling class. One cannot have billionaires and workers in the same party. It will stand for nothing. www.currentaffairs.org/news/2022/05...

It’s a good sign for the Democratic Party that Elon Musk doesn’t want to be a member.

The entire internet reminds me of MySpace when it was completely done and people who still were on it would just post about Candy Crush and all of their comments would be vajazzled and sparkly.
