Played a TikTok-inspired version of Guess Who today where questions have to be vibes-based. “Does your person look like they would struggle to book a doctor’s appointment” absolute scenes

I’m so sick of stuff... Buying it, subscribing to it, replacing it, convincing ourselves it’ll spark joy Social media trained us like obedient Labradors: sit, scroll, consume And now we’re obedient little little lemmings Read my rant here... open.substack.com/pub/marinapu...

Putting the "website down detector" on Cloudflare is roughly equivalent to putting the diesel backup generators in an easily flooded basement.

Wondering why some people have unique handles that don't end in "bsky.social"? 👀 You can set your website as your handle! Purchase and manage a domain through Bluesky here: account.bsky.app We especially encourage official organizations to self-verify their account with their website.

The only time this isn’t true is when they’re talking to the dog.

A scene repeated at least 20 times a day in our home: Person 1: (unintelligible speech from another room) Person 2: What? Person 1: Nothing! I'm talking to the cats!

Around the mid-to-late 2000s, we changed to a different kind of tech industry. You started a company, made a lot of promises, kind of made a thing, and waited for Apple, Google, Microsoft or Facebook to buy you out. Creating useful things was no longer the point.

Anyone else feeling the fatigue of creating accounts on various new social media platforms and writing a breezy introduction about yourself whilst still doom-scrolling all the existing ones?

You are up to date.
