Not a day has gone by where I don’t I think about All My Life by K-Ci & JoJo at least once and it’s been this way since I first heard it when I was 13-years-old.

the "don't bring iced coffee to an interview" discourse is great bc it's such a succinct and clarifying example of how private businesses aren't efficient & logical enterprises, they're just arbitrary in-groups ruled by sociopaths, power tripping on their ability to enforce pointless bullshit norms

a reminder that getting involved in your community and helping to build a positive future you want to see is a much better use of your time than angrily and obsessively arguing with people online that are probably bots anyway 💖

With releases like these on Indie labels like this why do we even need Major Label indie acts? Most obviously it's discovereability that's taking a hit which is why I wish people would just dig a bit deeper and find gems like this. (Obviously preaching to the choir here)

I get that I’m a broken record on this, but often when I read about the collapse of the media industry there’s a comment of “I wish I would have just gotten a job where i lift things/gotten a trade” as if those are simple lives of idyllic income and I wish people considered how hard those jobs are

You don't want critical systems running on pretty and new software. You want critical systems running on stuff that's been battle tested. You want critical systems running on software that hasn't encountered an edge case since the Clinton administration.

We are rapidly losing the outlets where new writers can learn to shape a voice, where they can cultivate skills beyond quick news hits and PR with the guidance and mentorship of strong editors and the benefit of a trusted name, and it’s such a loss for writers and readers alike.

It wasn’t ahead of its time, it’s reflective of its time! Literally the satire in Josie and the Pussycats is of how the music industry and others works. It’s part of what makes it an incredible movie. It’s proof that this is how this has worked for a very, very long time.

something people don't know about Canada is that when you win a big enough prize in McDonalds Monopoly it's illegal to just give it to you, you have to also do a skill testing question: a math problem with a minimum of three equations, making it actually useful to remember what BEDMAS stands for.
