Hi, just checking in. Is this place worth my time yet? No? Alright see ya in a few months.

YouTube video by Technology Connections Algorithms are breaking how we think

Surely this new video won't make me seem like a crank.

Of all the award shows to not care about, the Grammys are definitely oh my god why does anyone give a shit who the fuck cares it doesn’t matter at fucking all who caaaaaaaaaares shut up

Oh my god. I can’t believe it’s actually February 3rd. I’ve been stuck in a time loop for a thousand years, endlessly reliving the same day over and over again no matter what I did. Not talking about Groundhog Day, btw, I’m just talking about January.

Baggy jeans are back in style. I’ve been waiting for this for so long. They're way more comfortable than the skinny jeans I've been begrudgingly wearing for the past 15 years… but I think I'm too old now. I can’t wear what current teenagers wear. I'd feel like an embarrassing dad trying to seem hip

I’d like to add that this I also historically a sure sign of a tech bubble. Not saying it’s gonna vanish overnight. But they WANT you to fear its potential. Don’t. The pop is coming.

Hang in there, buddy…

I’ve written two novels. Wanted to write some short stories set in the world as promo material for the series. Feedback hasn’t been great! Turns out telling tight, short stories flexes a completely different set of writing muscles. I still hope to make it work, but man I have a lot to learn!

It’s crazy isn’t it? Everyone’s feeling it. This has gotta be at least the 32nd week of January by now

Managed to get mine down to 3!

See?? Look how happy he is! See what he’s NOT doing? Reading the newspaper! Also because he doesn’t have thumbs… hmm… maybe that’s the solution…

I just learned what “rooted” means!

Ah, you just gotta shove your head into the dirt and hold your breath for the next 4, 5, 10, 50 years. It’s nice and quiet down here!

I’m gonna be closely observing the comments on this post, haha. I’m with you.

My grandfather came to me in a dream last night. He told me he knows how hard everything is right now and that I’m doing a great job. I laid out all the reasons why he’s wrong, and explained why I could be doing so much better. I think I convinced him.

My cousin told me to root for the Bills. So I said, “Okay, I hope the Bills win.” They lost. I believe this proves my rooting for them had no impact on their success. My cousin is of the opinion that I just rooted inadequately. I refuse to be held responsible for this.

This isn’t talked about enough. A narrator can make or break an audiobook experience. She is a fantastic narrator. Loved Black Sun, and the audiobook with it

No. Haven’t released a book yet. I’m able to get depressed and anxious about my writing without even doing so!

Totally with you. I gave up on it after a few months. Sadly, the things that seemed to get the most traction was the painfully-obvious engagement bait stuff, so the entire experience felt so artificial and manufactured. For an app designed to connect people, no one seemed genuine, or human…

Pretty sure some of the people I follow on here who consistently post funny witicisms and jokes all day are copying/stealing their material. Happened a lot on Twitter. But y'know what? I don't have the energy to care, anymore. Feed me your stolen drivel, make me smile, then burn in hell, ya thieves.

I think I have higher tolerance for outside cold

Hell yeah

Might not be a popular opinion but... The first book's far and away the best of the trilogy. Like, I'd almost say not to bother with books 2 and 3. Enjoy book 1 for it's greatness and call it a day.

Oh no. No one told me it was cringe. What have kids moved onto nowadays? Braille? Is Braille cool yet?

Foundryside's great!

First thing I read upon waking up. Great start to the day!

Alright, fine, be right back

Now potato salad... Mmm...

Hell yeah. Congrats.

I'm sure this is totally what you meant...
