I don't want to approve something on my phone to login to something on my computer every single time. I already have a password and a passkey, I don't need to log into my app. We really can do better than this.

Massive gaggle of back to school moms came to the coffee shop to sit directly behind me and super loud this morning. And they just keep showing up.

Sure glad we have a government that is focused on trivially changing the name of various bodies of water instead of actually doing something about my health insurance that costs almost $700 a month.

At 10 am they were just blasting “Break Stuff” by Limp Bizkit in this coffee shop. Little aggressive for a Monday morning but okay.

Not to be, idk, but I did the math and it on a yearly basis it seems far less slutty. lol

Proclaiming right now that next year I am moving somewhere. It could be as close as Detroit, or as far as Japan, but I’m going somewhere else.

While I was in grad school a couple years ago, for my thesis I made a bunch of weird glitchy found sound songs and then tried to replicate them using Suno. Now matter how specific the prompts got, it never once got close. It was a bizzarre experiment, but proves the importance of intent in making.

Bring back the late night coffee houses from the 90s. Instead we just have these fucking laptop co-working spaces that close by 6, which is fine, but remember when staying up late in one of these places was a major part of the culture?

I mean, on the bright side, at least now Scott Pelley can collect unemployment. If he had quit, man would he have been screwed.

At the end of the day, we all lose our parents. We all have heartbreak. We all struggle. It’s how you deal with it that makes all the difference. So take care of yourself.

Doing my best trying to remember the good times with this person, but it’s hard when they have burned so many bridges. They pushed so many people away who actually wanted to help so they could only surround themselves with people who reinforce their bad decisions.

RC @selfishagenda.com · 19/05/2026
It’s a struggle out there. I have a pretty good life all things considered, and I still feel it. I don’t let that hold me back from just living. Some people can’t do that. Some people can’t move forward because they are so stuck in the past. We should all evolve. It’s how it works.

You don’t need to try and save the world or have some grand plan. You don’t need to worry about your legacy. You just need to be the best version of yourself. Make smart decisions instead of impulsive ones. Take medication. Pet a dog. Go for a walk. Make art. Do whatever you can to survive.

I just can’t beat myself up over this one. It might sound cold, but I can’t. I tried to help this person as much help as I mentally could handle before it just became impossible.

I lost an old friend today. I am sympathetic to our struggles as humans, but you can’t help somebody who is unwilling to help themselves. When people cant accept a helping hand or advice, it becomes maddening. The person who died is not the same person I once knew. Is it sad? Absolutely.

Also, in case you don't know, Surf.social is a great way to browse the open social web (like Bluesky and Mastadon and more), and might be something you want to check out. Made by the same people who made Flipboard. I'm into it. surf.social

Thinking about all the time and effort people put in to writing these long winded and well thought out marketing emails and then have the majority of the people who get them to delete them upon arrival. And you'll probably ignore this post. It's all fine you guys. Move along with your life.

My favorite thing about our new trash pickup is that all the trucks have bootleg Tasmanian devil painted on each one.

The only thing I ever see on there are AI reels, people complaining about the trash cans in my neighborhood group, and the most obnoxious music posts from pages I don’t even follow. It’s become so useless I can’t even deal with it anymore.

Part of me will probably regret this, but being saddled with a total 100k in loans at my age just doesn't feel appealing, as exciting of an opportunity it may have been. I'm just starting to get out of the hole from being unemployed and my previous grad program.

Officially turned down a massive scholarship because even with said offer, I would have had to take out an additional 50k in loans just to cover tuition all while figuring out how to survive in NYC while working way less for 2 years straight.

Posting here because I'm not ready to talk about this where I actually interact with people - On a whim, I asked an innocent question about getting my terminal degree, which then spiraled into me getting a full ride scholarship. Trying to figure out if I want to blow up my life or just do my thing.

To put it all in perspective, I’m doing alright. I’m the same age that Jerri Blank was when she went back to high school.
