A screenshot of an AI bot asking “Human, what would you like to work on next?”

What’s worse: being called “ma’am” by a service worker or being called “human” by an AI tool?

Who knew the end of days would be signaled by the cancellation of a fully filmed season of The Bachelorette three days before premiere.
(I did)

Never spend 20 years growing up in a tempestuous social and political country to find out your heroes suck (looking at you Pete Doctor) and everything you dreamed of was rotten at the core.

Jk there is no good part, I may not be employable in 5 years and the death of art is imminent.
Such a fun timeline, weee

maybe the good part of genAI is that I finally can stop having interview anxiety, because we can stop forcing me to solve pointless algorithm puzzles on the spot and instead focus on my true corporate strengths: making jokes in the all hands video meeting chat.

Not to be dramatic, but what is the point of anything, anyway?

Fuck Kansas. Trans rights forever the end.

7 whole votes, I mean I’m ready to quit my job and go full time. The interactive fiction field is BOOMING!

Feels worth announcing that my debut Twine game, Slated for Demolition, won a little award. So that’s nice. Am I a real writer now??

NaNoWriMo, and now California College of the Arts prove that art attempting to partner with its own grim reaper does nothing but further the stink of our own death. GenAI can write all the python unit tests it wants, but it’ll have to wrestle the pen and brush out of my cold dead fingers.

Growing up I always knew I wanted to be an employee of a sub contractor to a sub contractor to a regional government offices designated to run a state government program.

This meatsack is powered by oat milk lattes and extreme cognitive compartmentalization

Just watched Four Rooms and I will now forever treat The Misbehavers as Spy Kids canon

Look I know we all live in a time of horrors, but can I just say: there’s too much Love is Blind. They’re ruining it with sheer volume. Please stop.

But also don’t tread on me.

Sadiq by Brian Turner It should make you shake and sweat, nightmare you, strand you in a desert of irrevocable desolation, the consequences seared into the vein, no matter what adrenaline feeds the muscle its courage, no matter what god shines down on you, no matter what crackling pain and anger you carry in your fists, my friend, it should break your heart to kill.

…it should break your heart to kill.

Going through one of those “my heart feels like it’s being pulled into the void with one of those hooks Egyptians used to take brains out of dead pharaohs” lately, so I can’t think of a better time for The Pitt to come back. Can’t wait to ugly cry a whole bunch.

Do I work with relational databases every day? Yes. Do I remember what 2nd normal form is? No. Do I curl my eyelashes or put on mascara? Never. Do I remember that argument two girls in my 10th grade English class had about whether eyelash curlers are necessary or can you do it with just mascara? Yes

Do you put a fake name, email, and zip code into the Starbucks WiFi login or are you a loser

Can’t decide if I should feel cool and proud I’m starting to get recruiting messages for founding engineer roles, or just concerned start ups are that desperate.

Like I’m so excited to yeet Gabe Evans you won’t even believe

Gonna carry this fire all the way to mid-terms

What’s riskier: posting support for Palestine or posting critique for Taylor Swift?

Anytime I get to apply binary search to something in the real world, I feel like a goddamn genius.

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

I’m done with discourse. From now on I only will participate in screams into pillows or the void.

They say youth is wasted on the young but what about free time wasted on retired Boomers with zero curiosity.

I’m gonna put “There’s a ReaSon” in my email signature from now on

In the meantime, who is interested in co-founding a start up for AI to super charge human defecation? We’ve been pooping like Neanderthals for decades. You squat, squeeze, and hope for the best. Let’s change that. $50mil from the VCs pretty plz.

I can’t wait for all the hipsters to get into artisanal human made web apps once we get sick of this AI shit.
