I'm forever stuck in a tech crossroads. Meta, Google, Amazon are leaders in enshitification, but I rely on all three daily. I can't imagine going all open source and homebrew at this point. Gemini, rewrite this to sound more professional.

Going to a farmer's market this wknd. Things I'd like to see:
1) Small pumpkins haphazardly renamed to fit a current pop culture trend. "Labubu Balls" or some shit.
2) Ghost peppers that clearly aren't ghost peppers despite the sign above them reading "Ghost peppers."
3) Honey sticks from 2007.

It's so hard to be hopeful right now. But this fourth I'm celebrating the idea that one day we might get to undo all of this. The deeper the fall the higher the comeback, right?

@newyorker.com hello, I’m a subscriber, I have been for years; I will remain a subscriber. I’m wondering if it’s possible for subscribers to get a cover that doesn’t feature a caricature of Donald Trump. It is tedious to keep ripping off the front cover, but nobody wants to look at this every issue.

I keep striking out on finding scented grooming products that actually smell good. I was digging Proraso's beard scrub so I tried the "wood and spices" wash. I like wood, and spices!
Holy hell does it smell uniquely awful. Do they test these things?

I think we shouldn't start statements with "I think" anymore.
Praise from @aoc.bsky.social for the disability rights activists who protested: "I think that they have demonstrated a tremendous amount of courage and bravery putting themselves on the line in order to defend Medicaid for people across the country."

Remember everything they're doing is wrong and worth fighting.
Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
