Do you know why it feels bad to use the platforms you use, and why it used to feel better? Why year on year things seem like they're getting more awful, with fewer options? Because there is literally nothing human about growth at the rate of millions of users a month, a week, a day. No human experience has ever been designed for a billion people, and no human experience can be designed for a billion people. You cannot be a human in a system or on a platform that allows you to engage with thousands of people and millions of opinions, thoughts, ideas – especially when there are no standards or norms, no tools that help you moderate, mediate, disengage.

It's one thing to know that people will lose their jobs when execs decide "AI can do it & we will make more money"; it's another thing entirely to watch many of your capable colleagues (and friends!) get silently laid off on the same day your CEO excitedly shares about the AI that has taken over.
A CEO is excited that AI handles "2 million support cases" every year, and welcomes you to "our new Agentic era"

WHAT IS UP without podcast producers interrupting the show mid-sentence for commercials?!?!

"...he offered her a cigarette, and that man was-"
[second of silence]
"Therapists these days are so hard to find, but FuckYouUp is here to help..."
[30 seconds later]
"-Warren Beatty..."

What is up with my brain telling me I'm a whiny, dramatic baby after I finally speak up about something that's been bothering me for a long time?!?!

Please welcome my cats, Ted, Bill and Twig, who are cute adorable delightful snuggly angels.

I'm here for three reasons:
1. FOMO
2. To see if we can do better this time
3. Just in case there is any cute animal content I missed
