Now theyโ€™ve literally removed even the smallest touch of human involvement whatsoever using AI instead of people to create those headlines, copy, graphics, CTAs, etc. Me & most of my friends have moved past agency life, but I worry for any creatives still working within that model. 2/

The only thing new about this is the use of AIโ€”at my last agency we had to create dozens of different combos of headlines, body copy, graphics, CTAs for a single banner ad, and then those would be configured and displayed based on the user data. 1/

When did it become required for me to give a single solitary fuck about EBITDA?
Is it a function of working for a public company that I have to hear this stupid fucking term every other day?
Is it really just a fancy financial term to justify future enshittification?

Itโ€™s a little of bothโ€”Iโ€™ve reduced my overall weekly dose, but I canโ€™t quite figure out the timing/reduced dosing to continue dropping down to maintenance.
I believe I might need to be on some form of this medication for the rest of my life, so I really need a pill version soon!

Iโ€™ve gone 2.5 weeks between doses & not only did the good effects wear off by end of week 2, the bad effects came in real hot when I took my next shot.
YMMV, of course, but Iโ€™m trying to reduce my dose gradually first and then overall frequency.
Itโ€™s goingโ€ฆokay-ish so far?

They are COMICALLY hideous, I get uncanny valley vibes whenever I see one IRL.
I saw one in Walnut Hills of all places, but theyโ€™re pretty rare in this area (thank goodness).
Just got back from San Francisco, however, and the place is absolutely overrun (to no oneโ€™s surprise) ๐Ÿคฎ

I know soooooooo many millennials who have gotten shingles in their 30s & 40s (myself included), it honestly feels a little like a weird conspiracy sometimes???
Like, oh no, youโ€™re 35 & you got shingles?
Too bad you couldnโ€™t get this effective vaccine until youโ€™re 30 years older
OH WELL ๐Ÿคท

So weโ€™ve been RTO at my job now for four months, and the only thing itโ€™s done is compel coworkers to come in when theyโ€™re clearly getting sick and should work from home.

It sounds like I work in a TB ward right now; my skin has been actively crawling for the last two weeks.

Loving the synergy!

Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life:

1. That little tuft of soft fur behind a catโ€™s ear
2. A drink of cold water after eating a mint
3. Key changes in pop songs
4. Finding a ticklish spot on your un-ticklish partner
5. Falling asleep during a massage

I (somewhat miraculously) walked away without even a bruise so far, just some generalized sorenessโ€”a huge testament to the quality of Toyota safety technology, even in a 2018 model.
Those airbags did their JOB and did it WELL.

My husband cooks dinner 99.9% of nights, makes a cake of any flavor I want for my birthday each year, and now does laundry w/ the help of a shared Notes doc w/ how to wash each type of clothing & where they all go. Our marriage is, quite frankly, fucking awesome.
