Really funny how Instrument Serif and related fonts have made a comeback in a way that is vaguely reactionary-coded (healthmaxxxing, retvrn purity stuff) ... well and openly fascistic stuff too I guess!!

They brought Nick Land to San Francisco to be interviewed by Wolf Tivy and Curtis Yarvin at a shoes-off tech house event. oh lordy lordy.

Be cautious if you run into any AI founders this week - they are likely to be very overexcited from the gnostic wisdom that was dropped

Startup guys once again validating my theory of combinatory slop and cultural stagnation!!

For the past 5 years we've been sadly planning to get rid of our 1991 volvo 240 wagon which is increasingly unreliable but has valiantly served ~350k miles, and get a Prius or Honda Fit or something.

But I just saw this mint 91 Subaru on FB with only 114k miles and now I'm like hmmmmmm

Some might say that the existence and expansion of the billionaire class is antithetical to the maintenance, flourishing, and survival of our planet and people, but NOT STEWART BRAND!

Really not enjoying the way various tech-adjacent thinkfluencers are deploying Ozempic as an imaginative tool // futuring technology // rhetorical cudgel.

the protein-bro-ification of greek yogurt is severely funny to me. why does this look like a barrel of whey protein... is regular yogurt too femme?
