I feel like a large part of adulthood is this, accepting and triaging discomfort. When do I need to escalate things and get help, what’s acceptable and normal, what’s within my means to change.

Discomfort is an essential part of growth and wouldn’t it be so embarrassing to be the exact same person thirty years from now, in a totally different world, because you were so averse to discomfort?

Once you start noticing how the incapacity to handle discomfort affects how people live their lives it's actually pretty shocking how it ruins pretty much every conceivable aspect of existence. Interpersonal relationships, romantic and platonic. Career and education opportunities. Your politics Your willingness to go anywhere. The kind of food you eat. The kind of art you expose yourself to and your ability to read it. It's never just one thing, it touches everything, and once you notice it it's like suddenly being able to see germs or something. Just this horrific catastrophe people look at you askance for screaming about. As I grow older and see what became of my friends and peers who could not learn to handle discomfort, the more I'm like. This is a genuine societal issue

Increasing my discomfort tolerance has also been one of the greatest assets to improving my mental health.

My theory: survival stories and true crime are actually photo negatives of each other, because in true crime, someone's dead who should be alive, and in survival, someone's alive who should be dead, and in both cases you're trying to figure out why

Seeing every small business, be it a local restaurant, a moving company, whatever, all having AI logos and AI ads, really puts into perspective just how many artists are out of jobs now. All those little sustaining jobs where someone just needed a quick thing for $50 to $200 are just gone.

I wrote about the new "Apple Upgrade" program, which plans to entice people into *leasing* new devices—perhaps devices they can't truly afford—leading them to stay on a perpetual cycle of monthly payments and upgrades, filtering their most personal data through property that isn't truly theirs. 🎁:

“We’re a small business and simply can’t trash all this inventory” was a reasonable part of an apology for doing a Harry Potter partnership in like 2020 when they may have signed the licensing deal before it was really obvious Joanne was a monster but in 2026 it’s honestly pathetic.

Red bumper sticker with white lettering which reads

BEHIND THE WHEEL
OF A LARGE AUTOMOBILE

there are two big versions of David Byrne doing the weird little walk dance he does in the Once in a Lifetime video flanking the words, and tiny versions as a border around the edges. Three of the tiny versions have speech bubbles which are saying

Well, how did I get here?

How do I work this?

Before using an AI tool, please ask yourself why a major corporation with a drive and obligation to maximize profit would let you use that tool for free. And if making you trust them is, in the end, more valuable than your data, especially if they can fool you.
