When I was a kid imagining the future, I pictured flying cars, and being able to beam places, and cities in the sky and shit like that. Instead all we got were apps and emojis in filenames.
No no no begs every archivist. You are never going to be able to find anything. Please don’t start using emojis in file names. Who asked for this? What fresh hell is next?

The hardest, recurring psychological task of my life has been learning to accept the absurdity of existence, to see ambition and achievement for the false gods they are, and to understand, truly understand, how one can flourish in what looks, from the outside, like mediocrity.

If the Why Theory podcast ever makes merch, which they won’t, they should make t-shirts or bumper stickers that say “That’s pretty good.” #iykyk

Grouped by subgenre and alphabetized within that. Just like a record store. Alpha by artist got way too hard and I would forget what was even in there.
We're curious...how do you organize your record collection?
Alphabetically by artist? Chronologically by release date? Biographically by the date you added each record to your collection?
By genre? By album artwork/spine color? Another method we're not even thinking of?

“K-Pop Demon Hunters?” What an absurd concept and what cumbersome phrasing! Back in my day, we kept things plain and simple, you know, like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Watched a 60 Minutes story abt if our dogs actually like us. Brain imaging showed that when they smell their owner the same parts light up as when we hear a favorite song. That’s all very nice but I don’t have much use for neuroscience when I can see that my dog gets a boner every time I come home.

I once went to an exhibit at PS 1 that was a beef burrito and a chicken burrito sitting on a windowsill in an otherwise empty room with the first four bars of “Like a Rolling Stone” blasting on a continuous loop.

Always said I’d gladly make $20,000 a year for the rest of my life if my job was to sing in a band where I got to sing like Fred Schneider.

Sometimes fantasize about chucking it all and moving out to Slab City and providing wild psychoanalysis out of my trailer in exchange for cigarettes.

Ya’ll ever just have that bassline stuck in your head but forget if you’re humming “500 Channels” by Choking Victim or “Something I Learned Today” by Hüsker Dü? Just me?

Just tryna watch some Unsolved Mysteries on TV like a normal person & one of the commercials was Kristi Noem urging “illegal aliens” to download an app to self-deport under Pres T@&?$ “strong leadership.” That was disturbing.

The last episode of everything is always disappointing. Totally tone-deaf, bummer of an interview.
Pointing out hypocrisy is a waste of time and reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of what’s happening and what’s at stake. Fascism is not concerned with logical consistency or argument.

A friend once remarked that one of the great things about living in CA is that alphabetically it’s right near the top of dropdown menus so you never have to scroll. Maybe that’s why it always feels like such an inconvenience & I act so put-upon when I have to scroll down on them for some reason.
