ChatGPT answered that GPT-5 is coming out in 2026.

@diabrowser.com answered correctly though (using a GPT model)

Odd…

@quiche.industries is there any way to set things back to default?!

Too many options!!

Any ex Zoloft zombies able to report what life is like post pills?

Dealing with a Zoloft zombie is like trying to milk a stone for any semblance of emotion.

Is the new Jack Dorsey app stupid and promoting skin cancer? I truly don’t get it.

I profoundly admire “content creators” who create in English when it’s not their first or native language.

It takes a courage native English speakers are completely oblivious to.

The genre of nearby conversation I dislike the most is the fake enthusiastic type of random strangers who just happen to be sharing a few days together at an also random city.

Love is that thing even ugly people have a right to and get to do.

So stop thinking it’s special in your case.

It should be mandatory for Instagram vacation pictures to show temperature at site taken. It would immediately alleviate any and all desire to have that lifestyle on my part.

Is needing to speak with someone all the time a sign of… loneliness, middle age, lack of kids, excess of time, no motivation, depression, non-existing social life, the conversion to WhatsApp of all social bonds, having 80% of my friends & family in a different time zone, all of the above?

The meme that speaks to me the most is the one where a random person looks out at a landscape, takes in its incredible beauty and, knowing profoundly that he’s not able to enjoy it, says, “Fuck I wish I was happy”.

At a new job, at a new role… what was it that drew people toward me? I’ve had people come to me (I was never an influential figure by no means) and speak with me, advise me, provide certain inside info as if we’d been work buddies f... https://www.arandomselection.com/2025/06/17/at-a-new-job-at.html

The time I’ve spent deciding on a platform to write on, a template, a font, a username… versus the time spent writing.

And yet, I’m still not super happy with my choices. Micro.blog is meh ok. Ghost is expensive. Wordpress is clunky.

Using the phone in the bathroom, a few drops of water fell onto my phone screen… immediate iOS 26 effect.

@thejaymo.net have you read or seen/heard John Vervaeke’s Awakening from the meaning crisis?

There’s something to be said about wanting to live where all the people you love are bound to die. Is that what “home” is?

Human beings should never have learned to travel so fast. It should take decades to cross a continent, not hours.

That being said, there is no lonelier feeling than posting from bed next to your partner who’s reading next to you, with her back turned towards you. Not angry just… mediocre life existence.

I have never gotten a single reply. I have no idea why I post.

Maybe to feel less lonely. But the non-reply factor doesn’t really help.

It’s difficult to live abroad. It never makes sense. Unless you start a family.

Everyone I know is getting pregnant, moving to a new city, celebrating milestones.

Meanwhile, I continue to accumulate toxic relationships where I don’t learn anything and continue to live in cities far away from everyon... https://www.arandomselection.com/2025/06/15/everyone-i-know-is-getting.html

I found the 10 minute summary of WWDC too long and boring.

I have no idea how micro.blog works, but it works. And it costs USD 1 a month.

It cross-posts, it allows long form.

Wish it didn’t include all my “tweets” in what is my “blog” but I guess that distinction doesn’t exist anymore.
