157% pure pseudo-intellectual. Music and synth nerd. Snark, sarcasm, vulgarity. Grumpy but too tired to act out on it.
Not long after that last post, in a nearby Dollarama… I saw a young woman zoning out and doing the “fenty fold”. It’s a bit unsettling to witness.
I can only wonder what turns her life took to bring her to this point.

Re: certain cultural outputs, what I came to realize is the qualities which made it so ridiculous to some — predictability, simplicity, overt sentimentality, absence of ambiguity — were exactly what made it appealing to others. For some, familiarity is comfort; for others, it’s offensively banal.

Is it wrong that I make jokes about Hallmark Xmas movies despite never having actually seen one?

My most woke opinion? The growing problems we’re seeing across the developed world are largely the long-term effects of neoliberal economics. Since most of us cannot let go of the fallacy that the market will always provide the best solutions for human needs, things will continue to worsen.
I don't know if it is my MOST woke opinion, I have many and I'm not sure what the scale is, but here's one:
Period products should be treated like paper towels and toilet paper and be stocked in every public bathroom.

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Jigsaw puzzles are the only thing that can get my ADHD hyperfocus engaged nowadays. They keep me from endlessly sad-scrolling on my phone. I’m starting to grasp just how harmful that has become, yet it’s so hard to pull myself away. Puzzles free me for a few hours, and they’re cheaper than drugs.*

Going by the number of people I’m seeing in public with their phones blasting out their calls, music, and TikTok feeds, I’m convinced the biggest symptom of long COVID is loss of self-awareness.

If Sha Na Na could form in 1969 as a 50s revival/nostalgia act, only a decade after the era they emulated…
Would a contemporary equivalent starting now be emulating Brostep or Stomp Clap Hey?

Sometimes I am reminded of little things which quietly disappeared long ago, and it shakes me with surprising force when I suddenly realize how long they’ve been gone without me ever noticing, as if the elapsed absence hits me all at once, like the rush of water from a burst dam.

My first CD: Inter*face by Klaus Schulze. I got it before I had a CD player, for reasons which I can’t explain in under 300 characters.
It got stolen when my apartment was burgled in the 90s, but I’ve since replaced it.

300 character limit is a good thing I guess, because otherwise I’d be ranting for paragraphs over Meta’s shit feed serving me racist dog whistles in the form of “Only true Canadians remember…”. Like who the fuck let you define what a “true” Canadian is when you really just mean white people over 50?

The agony of having to use a keyboard with a horrible font and wincing every time you look down because it’s just so damn ugly.
Wait, that doesn’t bother anyone else? It’s just me? Um, okay, never mind then.

The inconsistency of gapless playback on my phone takes me back to the early days of the iPod, whose designers evidently had never heard a live album, DJ mix, or Dark Side of the Moon.
No wait, I got it, it’s an homage to the 8-track tape! Just needs more tape hiss and a tendency to self-destruct.

That thing where you’re so exhausted from lack of sleep that when you get home from work, you take a quick nap, and… 4 hours later, you’re wide awake but it’s past midnight and you’ll inevitably repeat the process tomorrow, leaving you with nothing to do right now but post banal updates to BlueSky.
