Nolanverse, Muppet Christmas Carol, 70s grime, and a bunch of legit comedies from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels to Life of Brian

I kinda thought we'd see a version of this product emerge during the pandemic... but the best ideas tied to this sadly became infected by NFTs and chains on chains of blocks.

One of these days I'll stop posting and just build it.

When I close my eyes... I'm browsing an indie bookshop, neighborhood wine store, or a movie rental attached to your local rep movie theater.

Everything is laid out with intent, with annotated cards from the staff, and more!

Less lists or "buy this 1x thing" and more discovery

Conan O'Brien < > Sam Presti podcast dropping when?

There’s gotta be a Tournament of Champions joke in here…

The TikTok dancer?

Also hi friend! Not at all a surprise we are bean friends!

The need isn’t to cook a great pot of beans… it’s to try and get some sense of validation (and status) from relative strangers.

Working with an LLM to earn some virtual ego boosts shows where we are all too well.

Yes!!!

Upon further reflection… it’s wild that they are posting this to a FB Group (chasing status / ego)?

On paper… that Group = a “group chat” to talk cooking beans… you don’t need an LLM to simulate the convo!

But in reality… instant feedback / gratification is the actual desire

Also you know Steve does not approve of this lol

It does feel like (similar to vibe coding tbh) this simulation or play at recipe development provides a sense of (shallow) authorship and a small jolt of creativity vs just reading recipes and taking bits and bobs from them.

I don’t see this going away - I see it intensifying sadly

We’re up to a couple out in Andersonville - just saw a little one being pulled on a tiny sled. Vibes are good.

This is partially why I am excited about this years all-star game (Ryder Cup style, two USA teams & one world team)

Wemby, Jokic, and Giannis all playing together is the dream of the friendly monstars

incoming new parent here as well... one thing this reminds me of is learning more about paced bottle feeding...

like no sh*t if you just tilt food down the baby's throat, you're teaching the kiddo to just receive vs being conscious and active in feeding.

Goga.

Goga from the corner.

Yes, I am drunk on EuroBasket highlights.

The “public affairs” ad industry in the greater DMV - it’s so wild and so one of one.
