I was almost failed out of my high school AP English class for partially plagiarizing a single paragraph from Wikipedia on a 15 page paper. This was almost 20 years ago.

Podcasts are not educating you. If anything they’re making you dumber. You are not having enough real-world conversations so you’re supplementing by listening to other people have conversations.

Putting “—maxxing” at the end of any word in the dictionary is not a trend. It is the final trend, the zenith of all language. All hopes of future vernacular have been crushed by a world where any word can instantly be converted into a trend-launching superlative.

It took a while, but I finally learned that it’s best for me to be an author and nothing else.

I’ll just be asking my dog the most unanswerable existential questions all day long like “are you the best boy?” and “how did you get so scruffy?” and “what are these little teefies for?” and then wonder why he needs to sleep 17 hours a day

Kinda funny how tech companies working on LLMs just started calling those LLMs “AI” for marketing and PR reasons and all of culture just went along with it without a single thought

A lot of people at DICE told me I have to get on LinkedIn. I don’t wanna. Please don’t make me. What people don’t understand about LinkedIn is that it’s poor for three primary reasons. ✅ it’s a role playing platform for punditry ✅ it rewards exactly the kind of people I avoid ✅ rule of threes

I'd really appreciate it if the rap and hip hop artists I loved in high school would just stop revealing themselves to be terrible people. My nostalgia playlist is shrinking pretty much by the day at this point.

Netflix became YouTube 2.0 Just another example of the content machine’s relationship to the attention economy. As platforms react to decreasing attention spans, they take part in further decreasing said attention spans, which then causes them to create even more “attention-grabbing content.” +

Remember when Netflix’s mission was to be a bastion for true artistic expression? Now it’s a wall of YouTube-style thumbnails featuring mindless content designed to grab your attention in the first 5 minutes before your dopamine-starved brain kicks at you to move on. Oh how far we’ve come…

“Soon AI will be able to write like a human.” Uhhh really? Most humans can’t even write like humans. Hop on any social media platform and you’ll see a mix of recirculated jargon, parroted opinions, industry terminology, and hopping on trends for the sake of hopping on trends. +

It’s actually shocking how much of a dumpster fire LinkedIn has become. It’s full of people making weird jokes, talking politics, complaining, and the occasional “thought leader” jerking themselves off. To be clear, I’m down for the first three, JUST NOT ON LINKEDIN. +

Okay so I know billionaires are trying to subjugate the population through oligarchic concentration of power and algorithmic mind control… But also #LinkinPark got a new singer and released their first album after like 6 years and this woman fucking RIPS dude. So yeah life isn’t too bad I guess

How do we defeat the oligarchy? Unfortunately contemporary society is designed for us to lose. There is nothing more powerful than a united front of billionaires in a corporatist society. There are only two possible counters to something like this: the government and the people. +
