I’m very upset, but I’ve got nothing of substance to contribute to the conversation on this platform. When you see me posting through it about random stuff, don’t confuse it for apathy.

I'm going to be brutally honest and say that if someone thinks that AI is alive or will have a conscious in the future, they need to touch a more powerful type of grass and go back to school to educate themselves

2026 tech is looking very much like 2016 tech
- hustle culture is back

Turns out an asteroid didn't kill the dinosaurs. They just invented capitalism and house prices got higher and higher until they stopped having babies altogether.

An American Tail poster with lil ol mouse immigrant Fievel

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life
