“Cunnilingus: Advanced Techniques” and “The Trials of Adonis: Coping Strategies for Men with Perfect Bodies”
Prompt: if you had to performatively display two books that you wanted the NYT writer profiling you about your career ending scandal to notice, what would they be?

"Bluesky is boring."

Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually.

When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

how we envisioned the dark future: you wear leather and buy brain stims from a small store in an alley. your wrist computer helps you hack

actual dark future: your $89 pants rip after 8 wears. adderall shortage. your wrist computer makes you stand up hourly and buzzes with email from your boss

I think part of the lure of these chatbots is the illusion that there's an easily accessible answer to every question. I'm a busy man, just tell me what the best laundry detergent is, and also whether climate change is real

Every tech update now is like: "Great news, the word processor you've relied on for twenty years has learned to juggle! Is it good at it? No! Does it help in any way? Of course not! Has it made it insufferable to use? Oh, absolutely."

sadly true
a lot of people are heading online these days without even touching a keyboard or mouse, thanks to what i call "the smartphone revolution." apple got the ball rolling when they came out with the iphone, but there are all kinds of makes and models out there now. selling like hotcakes, too

I am writing about a maritime disaster and googled what a "sounding rod" looks like. Don't do that. There are two types of sounding rods, and most of the ones on google images are NOT the maritime type, they're the, uh, "make the hole you wee out of really big for some reason" type

Quick reminder that Harry Potter was and will always be fucking trash. So many better authors and stories out there by writers who aren't human garbage.

Me: If nominated as President, I will be a voice for the voiceless!

Interviewer: ah, so your pitch is representing the people.

Me, recalling my dreams of Yuggoth and its plutonion shores, the call to prepare for the coming of the Old Ones and their new dominion: sure.

There is a person in a high rise office making six figures with a job that effects no one in any significant way compared to that one song that makes you weep on command for completely illogical reasons and these people know they will never be able to create something of this type of meaning.
