viral poster for legendary ska band the Historic Pavers

A sign that says, "Caution. Historic Pavers. Please watch your step." There's a stick figure guy tripping over a paving stone that's sticking out of the ground. The joke is that he kind of looks like he's skanking.

I am tired of having to pretend that the value of studying my discipline solely rests on the "marketable skills" we teach. Sometimes things are just worth knowing and doing because they make your life bigger and richer.

there's a very odd thing happening where people decide that once a song gets enough plays, it becomes a moral obligation for everyone to go out of their way to listen to it as if the gods have smiled upon it and we must now all pay tribute to it. it is the most-consumed song, so we must all partake

I take an iced coffee to the job interview. at reception, another candidate has brought a frappuccino. i look around. he has a pint of ben & jerry's. she has a banana split. i misjudged. my offering will now look insulting. i give it to an intern, the only employee whose status befits my lowly gift.

1: i had never heard of her or this song, still haven't heard it. also still haven't heard let it go from frozen or baby shark 2: maybe modern country music shouldn't have acted like that if it didn't want people to avoid it as cultural signaling. it knows what it did.

i take an iced coffee to the job interview. i study the interviewer's face closely as we discuss my résumé. i watch for the telltale sign. there it is: the right eyelid flutters like clockwork with every fricative. i throw my iced coffee into the android's face. i rappel out the window as it burns.

i take an iced coffee to the job interview. i am silent the entire time. i am here only as transport and if necessary, protection. my iced coffee impresses the interviewer iced coffee. it gets the job. it will gain status among the other iced coffees. as its human, i will be made more comfortable.

i take an iced coffee to the job interview. while the interviewer is talking, i take a long sip from the straw, pulling the microfilm into my mouth. i lock eyes with the interviewer. we kiss deeply. the microfilm is no longer in my mouth. i return home through the checkpoint. it is berlin, 1970.

i bring an iced coffee to the interview. only it’s not for me, it’s for the interviewer. and it’s laced with a sedative. when she comes to, she’s wearing my clothes and i’m in her office. her car keys don’t work. i’m with her husband. her kids don’t recognize her. coming soon from A24.

i take an iced coffee to the job interview. as we shake hands, i nervously spill a little coffee on the interviewer's shirt. they excuse themselves to clean up. i insert a flash drive into an open usb port. i'm in the system. security escorts the terminated interviewer out. i sit down at my desk.

Morgana O'Reilly navigating the Taskmaster New Zealand house while it's packed full of objects starting with the letter B that she is not allowed to touch is one of the most breathtaking feats of athleticism, cleverness, and catlike grace i have ever seen.

all this Brand x Brand collaborations are making us soft and weak. what our society needs is competitive brand collabs like Nike VERSUS Pizza Hut, where each brand tries to make the combined product more their own thing than the other's
