whenever someone brings up using AI for creative work, I think about this
what we create also creates us

Someone said they miss when the internet felt like a library instead of a shopping mall, and I haven’t stopped thinking about it. We used to go online to discover things, learn from strangers, and fall down weird rabbit holes. Now every click feels like someone is trying to sell us something. I miss the internet that wanted to share knowledge, not monetize every second of our attention.

They still don't understand Gen X in the workplace.
We don't want free pizza parties.
We don't want mandatory team-building retreats.
We don't want motivational speeches about being a family.
And we definitely don't want another company-branded coffee mug.
You know what we want?
💰 Pay us what we're worth.
🏖️ Let us take our vacation days without guilt.
🏡 Respect our time outside of work.
🤝 Trust us to do the job we were hired to do.
📵 Stop expecting us to be available 24/7.
We're not looking for an office to become our second home. We have lives, families, responsibilities, and better things to do than pretend a pizza party makes up for being underpaid and overworked.
Pay us fairly, respect our boundaries, and let us get on with our lives.
That's the perk. That's the culture. That's it. 😂

Russia/Ukraine is not a “both sides” moral equivalence thing. One side is the evil aggressor. The other side is defending their sovereign homeland.
Elon Musk’s “Roadster” is ironically named, since its use of jet propulsion means it’s not suitable to be around other cars in the same way Elon is not suitable to be around other people.

Ok can we talk about how insane it is that in multiple cases of school shooters, the shooter very clearly had issues but their parents were like “I’m going to buy them a gun :)”
Facts.
“Your son leaves as Jimmy and comes back home in three days as Janet, and they don’t even ask you.” — Donald Trump
How about we focus on “Your son Jimmy leaves for school and never comes home because he was killed in a school shooting.”
Because that’s what’s ACTUALLY fucking happening in American schools.

I genuinely don’t care if someone works in an office, a warehouse, a restaurant, or cleans floors.
If you give 40 hours of your life every week, you should be able to pay rent, buy groceries, cover your bills, and still have enough left to breathe a little.
That shouldn’t be some dream. It should be normal.
The fact that so many people work full-time and still live stressed, behind, and one emergency away from disaster tells you this system is failing the people who keep it running.
