Why improve things for people when you can generate solutions-oriented outcomes for all relevant stakeholders?

I know I’m supposed to love the drama and ‘good television’, but really I just find myself wanting them to cut the early-game ‘nuts’: Kent, Rich, Indy and Nash. What on earth was Komodo mantis Kent’s game owning up to the hat arson out of nowhere? #SurvivorAu

Can Google please fuck off with insisting that I use my old (dead) phone to verify it’s me trying to sign into my new phone? THAT’S WHAT PASSWORDS ARE FOR

My drink bottle just fucking nosedived off the shower screen ledge perfectly into the fucking toilet somehow.
Only six days into the new year and it really said it’s had enough.

Note to self: if you’re going to stupidly self-prescribe antibiotics for a persistent ear infection, remember to check they’re not made of the one thing you know you’re allergic to.

Peaceful Solutions
On respectable and profitable human-suffering engines, the murder of a CEO, propriety in a land where life has been cheapened, and some good news for those who seek peaceful solutions.

Elon’s Law: The first tweet that appears when you open the app looks for half a second like the most interesting thing you’ve ever seen before the feed auto-refreshes and it is sucked away into the void, never to be seen again.

When I opened my animal cracker petting zoo, people laughed. No one’s laughing now. I lost everything. My job, my house, my marriage. I live in a tent in my uncle’s backyard

Trying to find some joy because I'm responsible for protecting it in others, but I will never get over seeing what I have seen on my screens this year. Watching a genocide in real time colours everything I do and see. I don't know what 'normal' is anymore, but it's not this.

The reaction to the UnitedHealthcare CEO assassination reminds me of a person getting out of a toxic relationship after way too long. Like yes, you *should* feel bad, but you burnt out on empathy for them so long time ago that you just can’t.

These two are 1000% both living out a misogynist kink fantasy that denigrates women and obsesses over men as a way to express homosexual desire without ‘being gay’.
I suspect men in similar situations are an underestimated nefarious force throughout our culture.

In the last days before the US election, I was buffeted with a series of very confident, comforting, convincing and intelligent-sounding TikToks explaining why there was no cause for alarm about the polls, that they were inaccurate, and it was heading for a Kamala landslide or at least a close win.

Likewise, since Twitter no longer exists, can we just say 'I saw on Twitter ...' or similar to refer to any of the Twitter-like platforms when it's not important or relevant which one we mean? X, Bluesky, etc.? bsky.app/profile/jare...
This is important. It's no big deal to me that Bluesky totally ripped off everything Twitter is because that place now sucks so bad. But we don't need a new word for a micro-post of a nature we all understand to be a thing. Like podcast started from iPod, tweet is now just a generic. This is a tweet
When I say tweet here I mean it like I would say Kleenex for any tissue or chapstick for any lip balm

Say what you will about AI, it does brighten our humdrum workaday lives with heretofore unimagined levels of amusing Fighting Baseball roster–style gobbledegook. My wife discovered the latest incarnation on somebody’s Etsy flogging personalised Christmas stockings. Take a look won’t you, Bobson?
