#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched I was sick so I watched a heck of a lot of comfort food films this week.

i clearly need to stop hearting pictures of pizza on bluesky. and yet i cannot.

suffering through my first legit cold in more than 3 years, maybe even 4. there's something to be said for being a hermit.

the "did you see what this dude said?" genre of skeet is probably my least favorite.

fuck California and fuck Gavin Newsom. and if the most progressive state in the country can cough up the Digital Age Assurance Act, if this represents the ideals of the Democratic party, fuck the Democrats too.

Ex Machina sure hits different in the AI bubble.

Here's this week's #LastFourWatched on #LetterboxdFriday

being at work is watching everyone insist the emperor really has clothes while also directly shoving me towards the emperor's naked crotch.

twitch streams be like "what if we had a talk show like on the radio but the entire audience can call in the whole time"

The look I get when the pets stop #cats #skycats #catsofbluesky

it's been 6 days lol

my greatest skill is being hard on myself.

if you support or hold in reverence current or past politicians that align with Zionism, this is the moment to have tough conversations with yourself about that.

the rest of the world should be take advantage of our low munition supply and use this as an opportunity to fuckin' sack us.

sweet. if we run out we can just light Hegseth's breath on fire and send him in like a stupid bro dragon

i've heard what the future of UX jobs is at Microsoft... and holy fuck is it stupid. can't be specific, but lets just say I don't like the "vibes"

a very anxiety-inducing thing about this war is, thanks to *gestures vaguely* everything, the truth about it will get murkier and murkier as time goes on. beyond how it started, i wonder if future historians will ever be able to piece it all together.

the fact that so many countries - including Canada! - have chastised Iran for it's retaliatory strikes but not the US and Israel for their unprompted, illegal first strike absolutely does my head in. you'd think Europe would have learned the appeasement lesson long ago.

oh. ok.

the Trump regime keeps trying to distract us from them being implicated in terrifying and horrible things by committing more terrifying and horrible things that they will eventually also try to distract us from with more terrifying and horrible things.

few things more cringey than when someone thinks they're cooking when they're actually setting themselves on fire.

what is with the youtube rotoscoping obsession. yeah, it looks cool, but 75% of the time it's done in a way where i can't even read wtf the word is.

vet day for this sweet little one #cats #skycats

every single headline you read you now have to click through and scroll to the bottom to see if it was generated by LLMs. which no one on social media does. welcome to the future, where the truth is whatever you want it to be.

the idea that you're supposed to claim "income" from 2nd hand sale of goods is fucking stupid. that money was already taxed the first time you earned it. if you return something, are you supposed to get taxed for that, too?

switching from Google Fi to Xfinity mobile feels like switching pimps.

i hate this generative AI boom with every fabric of my being, but i also hate busywork with the same fiery passion and goddamn if it isn't he perfect solution for that.

i feel like The Pitt's main goal is to make you deeply empathize with ER doctors and nurses and it hits the goddamn bulls eye.

every foodtuber has more than 7 go-to weeknight dinners. very sus.

the USA produced 17 seasons of The Biggest Loser. Donald Trump is currently President. these things are not as disconnected as they seem.

haven't cooked - beyond what a college student might do anyway - in like 8 months. cooking isn't a passion of mine but... feels good nonetheless.

No cheating your last saved picture of a celebrity is your therapist yeah I think I won this.

the most incredible technology in any sci fi series is where they can actually look directly at each other on a video call

At this point, I want a tin of billionaire foie gras with my tariff refund check.

this is literally the best booklist that rewires your brain for success

if you're a cis dude, once in a while when you're watching or reading content of someone who is not a cis dude, sort the comments by new or by controversial or whatever. dip your toe into what they constantly endure. it's good for you. and for the human race.

we've arrived at the stage of pet ownership where I have to give pills to cats and it's making me wonder if I'm actually up to owning cats.

#letterboxdFriday #lastFourWatched

time to start learning how to pill my cat. yay.

it's good to listen to and debate people with whom you disagree. it's useless, even harmful, to listen to and debate people who aren't arguing in good faith. these days it's so hard to tell the difference.

The number of "AI agents" I've encountered lately trying to call businesses is so fucking infuriating.

finally getting around to watching the Chernobyl miniseires. only on the first ep but it immediately strikes me that this is one of those stories where everyone speaking in a British accent meaningfully detracts from the storytelling.

Rocket Mortgage having a "virtual agent" call me is such a performatively stupid thing. That alone makes me want to refi with another lender. (And of course, I have no idea if it was really from Rocket Mortgage.)

the people who interrupt people all the time tend to also be the people most likely to be upset at being interrupted.

Edward James Olmos is definitely in my top 5 favorite actors. Lead, supporting, or bit part, he throws himself into it.

the first keynote at Microsoft's internal UXR Days conference is trying to sell us on the idea of using synthetic data and synthetic users to do research. usable software from big players is straight over, folks.

these days, the fancier a UX title someone has the less I respect them (individual special dispensation available)
