Harro! I'm a retired youtaite & recovering weeb, posting creative things whenever inspiration hits. Didn’t have much space to be a kid growing up, so now I’m making up for lost time—exploring things I missed out on. Mostly vibes, occasional chaos and nostalgic creative nonsense. Stick around? 👾✨

Alright, so I survived the Hobonichi 2027 drop day online ordering frenzy. Now I have to survive the pre-event registration frenzy for the business conference I’m going to next month. 🫠

There it is. While you struggle to afford groceries, or find any that are edible, and pay thousands more every year in gas, rent, utilities, childcare, and healthcare, they are laughing all the way to the bank.

I want a $300 leather jacket, tonight. I could just steal it, but if you say that's illegal and wrong, then YOU make me a leather jacket by tonight. I'll pay you what I'd pay my fence which is $15. Can't do it, huh?? Seems stealing is superior after all 😏😏😏

"I'm entitled to whatever I want whenever I want it for any reason and I don't care what satisfying these urges does to me or the world" well okay dude, seems like there's something deeper going on here, but that's just my take

Went to the post office today to pick up mail. Got to thinking about their financial strains and what life would be like without them. Idk, post offices seem more like community experiences compared to the busyness of SF Express. Just another thing that we might lose in our pursuit of convenience.

Whenever I notice myself doomscrolling on YouTube recently, I swap over to my other account where my algorithm has decided to give me an endless flood of software engineering and data analytics tutorials. I don’t understand everything they’re saying but I feel much better.

Tfw you’re watching great depression recipes on YouTube, then realizing they’re just recipes you’d cook today to save money. #RecessionIndicator

I want to cry.

A new report suggests that all three memory manufacturers — Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron — have collectively sold through their 2027 memory manufacturing capacity to AI companies. https://bit.ly/3TJ3dZm

Really rooting for Alex Eala but damn, the rowdy kababayans need to take it down a notch. Yelling in the middle of a serve and a rally is in such poor taste. Can’t be acting like that while also proudly waving the Philippine flag.

Having the actress playing a mystery character and with a strict NDA go on the Spider-Man press tour is so fucking hilarious to me. Like yesss queen, give us nothing 😂😂😂

"A History of Video Games Through Mass Extinction" Excellent and necessary summary by @molleindustria.org of what’s been happening in games - and how to think of it not so much just from an industry / capitalistic perspective, but a cultural one. (and yes, I am a yarn seller in this context 🙃)

AI companies are destroying our collective shared history to put it into their slop buckets, because the slop they push out would destroy their models if they tried to re-input it

companies are sourcing millions of printed books for AI labs that scan them for training data, then destroy them. printed books are more valuable because they're free of AI slop, and AI labs know destroying them is an "optics problem." www.404media.co/ai-companies...

My VPN subscription really doing the heavy lifting in keeping me internet literate. But also, why am I blocked from accessing Jollibee US??? I just want to see what they have on the menu.

So the reason I’ve been randomly finding beetles and silverfish around my apartment for the past few months… is because some tile cracked and corroded in that small gap behind my toilet bowl, and created a tiny opening for bugs to come through ☠️
