Gonna try lucid dreaming, but instead of doing all those tricks to check if I’m dreaming, I’m just gonna assume I’m in one at all times

If you’re pulling out your laptop on the subway, I better not see just a blank spreadsheet with a single line of data on row 1

I dislike the coffee-tableification of books that really didn’t have to be one. It’s big. It’s chunky. It’s heavy and hardcover. I don’t want to read it on the train like this

I need to figure out why my brain isn’t pumping on some days like today. I need every ounce of JUICE

Very visceral negative reaction to making your friends “sign NDAs” for hot goss. Is that trust to not run it in the papers not already established or

I must stan Hailey Bieber despite all her tea because we have the same nose profile and I need representation

Corporations acting in self-interest and rebranding their perceived alignment in a changing landscape is just part of playing the trillion dollar game. All the old stuff about apoliticalness and neutral tech just doesn’t work anymore and it’s more profitable to do, ummhhhmm whatever is happening now

I just played a 47 minute long “swiftplay” “game”, with swift meaning faster than normal and game meaning I was supposed to enjoy it

Never met a celebrity but I can tell you all the microniche influencers none of my friends have never seen their content that I’ve seen in public

Yes, I am willing to pay a hefty sum to force about 15 poor unsuspecting souls to listen to my self-produced EDM mixtape in a Bushwick warehouse

Algorithm introspection transparency tools and consumer data protections applied to all platforms seem far more productive and fair while actually addressing the same concerns. Also, can’t help to notice the app we’re banning is also the one winning the most coveted <25 yo demo.

Well looks like at this point that the one-off forced divestment on TikTok is short-sighted and ineffective. It’s way easier to ban for the lulz than address underlying issues I guess. Playing whack-a-mole without guiding principles set an awful precedent.

DDR is an out-of-body experience. Entranced by the flashing rainbow. Stage lights flood at your face, drowning out the surrounding. Nothing remains except the eyeballs and the toes. Your body moves as one along cardinal directions effortlessly but the music isn’t loud enough to hit on tempo.
