"learn speed reading" i have this weird thing where i enjoy reading and the pace i read at is good for my comprehension and i do not feel like every time I'm not reading a book the fastest my eyes and brain are capable of I'm leaving money on the table
get every single "app that turns your text into a slideshow that displays just one word on your screen at a time" productivity grindset slop out of my face
"learn how to read 900 words per minute" no thank you
should have known the misogyny so heavy in that book would not have been alone
there was a period when I was doing side planks every day for over 3 months to rehab from sciatica and I still couldn't work up to the copenhagen plank because it's not a fucking obliques exercise (well, it still is, but with a nuance) it's a ticket to hell for your adductors
what's the deal with bradbury?
fuck the copenhagen plank. i'll be doing it again but oh my god jesus christ
Every Cyberpunk author: In my book I invented the concept of the evil tech megacorp as a cautionary tale.
Palantir: At long last, we have created the evil tech megacorp from every classic cyberpunk novel.

current me: okay so there’s a big fight between the government and the catholic church
teenage me: got it, so we’re obviously on the side of the government
current me: I, uh, you might want to sit down for this one

it's like the first wave of covid except it lasted 16 years non-stop
seeing a press conference where the press could ask questions for example truly caught me by surprise
it's a political cliche trotted out by all sides that "now is the time for healing" but this time it is genuinely true
Hear me out:
Being into cats feels so debasing. You give everything over to this animal — time, labor, money — but when you want them to sit next to you, they refuse and jump away. When they finally sit on your lap, you sit motionless to the point of physical pain, afraid to disturb them. Humiliating.

it's really awesome that we're just in a period where art can't take risks at all on any level and that all of it needs to be sanitized to shit to even be allowed to exist in the eyes of paypros and the people in power

1. "Here's an extreme idea. We're platforming it, so that people can watch out."
2. "This idea is gaining traction. We're publishing an op-ed in favour, for balance."
3. "This idea is popular now. Why does the left refuse to consider it?"
You're a rent seeker It's an economist insult. It's devastating. You're devastated right now.
The Guardian choosing to publish articles like this is great, but also feels like that meme of the guy in the hot dog suit. They've published some absolutely shocking articles about trans people in the time since I came out, and are entirely complicit in said disinformation campaign themselves.
this is the biggest iceberg i've seen floating by in a long time
What a terrible day to be literate

Next week there will be another existential boogeyman designed to discourage you from pursuing art. There will always be a mosquito in your ear trying to convince you your creativity has no value. Let this Sora situation be a lesson. Stop getting pushed around by scammers. Make art
