Counterpoint: I use em dashes with abandon and will not let "AI" steal them from me. I was overusing them first and will continue to do so long after "AI" is a crater in our financial system, or our merciless overlords, or both

I had a manager at one point who had an assortment of rules to live by and one that has stuck with me is “don’t get good at something you don’t want to do”

the only way I know how to describe the new slayyyter album is “noise” (not sure yet if that’s a good or bad thing?)

Lots of tech dudes think the "idea" is the important part of creating, not the creative journey you take through work to give that idea actual meaning. Ideas are the easiest, cheapest and least fulfilling part of it. Giving ideas life through work, and sharing that work with others, is the stuff.

The books I read in March: A Death in Sweden by Kevin Wignall, Starter Villain by John Scalzi, and Run Away by Harlan Coben.

Not sure which one you had before but I have the Ultra 2 and really like it. The battery is great, I charge it for 15 minutes a day and that’s all it needs. The extra button on the side is nice and the sapphire glass screen is indestructible, not a scratch on it after years

my mom started asking in *January* this year like girl I don’t know what I’m doing next weekend

if I had a dollar for every time it was Bob Iger’s last day as CEO I’d have two dollars which isn’t a lot but

nosy little birds, always staring at me through the window

I’m not sure people grasp how truly disastrous a Paramount acquisition of Warner Bros will be…for their employees, for customers, for the entire industry

Just a reminder that buying Warner has historically killed the buyer

I got one of those Upright devices…it’s supposed to buzz when you have bad posture to “train you” but when you try to do something productive like cook it just annoys tf out of you until you take it off

why are so many people talking about the state of the union? who tf cares what grandpa is shouting about tonight?

Kind of gives away the whole game that all the crypto ads this year have been replaced with gambling and AI ads.

yay another round of unfollowing people posting AI slop trends on their instagram

especially excited to see Dana Walden as President and CCO. Hoping that good things come from this

still nervous about who will backfill Josh’s role at Disney Experiences, though

The books I read in January: How to Seal Your Own Fate by Kristen Perrin, We Were Liars by E. Lockhart, Game Changer by Rachel Reid, Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter, and On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder.
