This clip circles around every few months and it's always funny to see reactions from people who know her vibe vs. those who don't. (Same woman who changed the final chorus of Golden Hour to Golden Shower when I saw her at State Farm btw)

I just watched a coworker type up an email and...just hit send. She didn't proofread it seven times, didn’t change the subject line twice, didn't even agonize over verifying the correct recipients.

Certain kinds of smart people tend to have a "sexy apocalypse" problem when it comes to thinking about risk. E.g. skynet turning everyone in paperclips, while bad, is also *kind of cool and fun* at the same time. Where the reality is that most actual disasters are both stupid and disappointing.

A region of space filled with bright stars and clouds of gas. In the centre, the densest clouds form the shape of a chest with its lid open. The chest appears to glow from within. At its base it breaks apart into long pillars of thick gas. Many of the gas clouds in the background are dark orange globules, while others form large, pale hazes.
