Someone who ignored me in high school is now a writer and I’m seeing her face pop up. Do the horrors never end?

If it's so fucking useful then go do that useful thing with it! Make something that doesn't look like lazy shit! File a bunch of legal briefs that don't make a judge want to vaporize you where you stand! Fuck off!

Just a couple years ago it was "have fun being poor," "your job is going away, you're being replaced loser," "you better reskill because this is the only thing that matters now." So yeah I'm hostile to the idea and I think everyone into it is a thief and a loser

Harold and Maude is a movie that speaks specifically to its time, but which I mean any time between 1971 and forever. Rest In Peace, Bud Cort.

In business school (I know, kill me) we learned about the persuasion knowledge model, which more or less means that the more experience a consumer has with ads, the more likely they are to resist them and even become hostile to the advertiser under the right circumstances once immersion is broken.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

The shooter had a history of mental illness and self-harm that went neglected and unaddressed by a garbage mental health system. We live in hell.

Sometimes I think about all the deeply sexist, homophobic and transphobic boys I went to school with and wonder if they killed themselves. They probably had stupid spawn that they’re in the process of passing their hatred on down to.

The timeline is incredibly grim and heavy right now. It's ok to log out and go do other things. Get outside if you can. Walk, breathe, make some food. Please, please, please reach out to a friend or loved one if you need to talk. Much love to you all.

a lot of shit for his policy, but his reaction to the Tumbler Ridge tragedy was very clearly heartfelt. It reminded me of what I liked about him during the campaign, but obviously in a different way. Seeing a world leader visibly choke up.... that matters.

Found it really hard to concentrate today but I did manage to read a couple of chapters of three different books. (I am in the habit of reading a bunch of books at the same time. It serves me well at times like this when my brain is feeling restless.)
