Ha, no doubt. Itโ€™s like even though theyโ€™re expecting people to not be paying attention, they also insist on preventing us from getting bored by โ€œscrollingโ€ to the next scenario.

It can only be so complex that you have to half-watch. Second-screening is the norm, so plot, dialogue, pacing, are all purposefully simplified.

Always scout mode. Why curiosity is the key to clarity.

Something I wrote for my curious friends out there. Curiousity leads to exposure, exposure leads to knowledge, knowledge leads to smart decisions. If you ready, let me know what you think.

To be lonely is one thing, but there's a kind of lonely that isn't about absence... but about a presence unfulfilled.

Needing not noise, but someone who sees the same moonlight and doesn't look away.

Trumpโ€™s commerce secretary Howard Lutnick says if Social Security skipped a check, his mother-in-law wouldnโ€™t complainโ€”and if you would, it indicates you are probably a fraudster. Insane.

Chaos is a ladder.

One of those old creaky ones that wobbles while youโ€™re climbing it and youโ€™re never really sure if itโ€™s going to hold, or buckle under you and leave you crippled in the hospital.

There's nothing wrong with cable news hosts like Rachel Maddow telling their viewers to follow them here on Bluesky... but it is absolutely leading to an influx of older users who think every website works like Facebook. And it's becoming a moderation problem.
