ran into my high school friend curtis akey at the bar, and he came up to me and the first thing he said was “curtis akey” like a fucking pokemon, kind of a boss move tbh

every time I see an excel-themed novelty item, I have to resist buying it for my accountant father. they’re so stupid, and yet strike me as chic, in their own way

I was talking to a senior, who was complaining of how high school didn’t match real life, and he said to me “I’m going to be working at a 7/11 for the rest of my life, not six 7/11s back to back that all assign homework and tests”

much to be said about the generational shift between gen z and the up-and-coming gen alpha, but here’s one that surprised me: where my zoomer students were woke and social justicey, my z/alpha cusp students are casually Eat the Rich and would luigi magione a guy in a heartbeat

saw a woman in Walmart wearing a tshirt that said “I’M NOT ALWAYS A DICK. JUST KIDDING. GO FUCK YOURSELF” and this struck me as a little intense to be wearing while running errands or making groceries

i’ve come up with an insane thing called “the directing sequence” where everyone in my film classes is director of their team for a day, and i also direct one film with all 18 groups i teach, and then i direct one full-class project at the end. It’s gonna yield like a hundred little movies

you know how with most things, it’s like, nobody remembers that cringey thing you did or said. No one’s thinking about that.

a few years ago i ran into someone and, nightmarishly, they said “hey remember that time we were at that party…” and proceeded to recall exactly what I had hoped they forgot

in his post “everything is television,” Derek argues all media is becoming similar. what he doesn’t know is that this is not a new or original insight. in media studies, this is called “convergence.” the theorist he should be citing is Henry Jenkins www.derekthompson.org/p/why-everyt...
Everything Is Television
A theory of culture and attention

finally I get to say this with authority: Derek is absolutely not demonstrating here that he read the books he’s referring to
