Thank you to all the people who are good at talking about random things for hours.
Zendaya did the right thing by being off socmedia. nobody is after her for her opinions on politics or war or whatever. Poor Taylor Swift. She had some takes about 1-2 issues and now everyone is asking for her blood on this issue or that 😂
i didn’t think tim chalamet’s words were so important(who’s listening to a pre pubescent looking hack?) that opera and ballet houses had to clap back??
AI research:
Researcher: Claude, please eat ten hamburgers.
Claude: Done! I have eaten ten hamburgers. The first two were delicious, but after that I began to experience bloating and the meat sweats.
Headline: Anthropic Says Claude has "A Fully Developed Digestive System"
The chatbot creeps have mindfreaked themselves into a sort of irrecoverable epistemic disease where the distinction between words and reality is inconvenient for their self-conception so they've completely excised it. Literally cannot distinguish between reading about something and it happening.

Ohda rabb vi nai rusda, rabb di saun... Jihnu yaar manaun da chajj hove...
Ohnu makke jaan di lod nai... Jihnu yaar de vekheyaan hajj hove...

tina fey did this all through her 30 rock show. anne hathaway does this. amy poehler did this to some extent in parks n rec. very boring
so many “hot actresses” in hollywood with only one shtick - having an active eating disorder and then posing with fried donuts and cupcakes and whatnot like “i’m so cool look at me, an actually a messy girl y’all but also luckily thin”
the only time they show restraint is when my husband is on the call. then it’s all perfect behavior.
it’s either bitterness or critique my life. “why is ur hair like this” “why do u wear tshirt like this” “do u cook at home? no? why don’t u?” . it’s like anything i do is wrong. unless i do what they do- then im ok. tiring to be the only child of bitter desi parents.
but now with me away and nothing else to do and the current govt which is more than happy to goad insecure and bitter ppl, plus lack of hobbies and friends means- just bitterness bitterness bitterness
there’s only so much i can listen to them whine about things. it also doesn’t help that they listen to govt propaganda day and night. they were already bitter unfulfilled ppl but a little tame when i was growing up.
video calls back home with my parents are getting harder and harder. my parents are so bitter and gossipy about everything and everyone, it kills the fucking mood. takes enormous self restraint in me not to argue. it’s a waste of time.
“meet the savarnas” book by ravikant kisana. book cover shows a family of four privileged people sitting atop a glass floor meanwhile the poorer and lower caste ppl languish underneath.
this was an eye opening read. it’s one of the most comprehensive understanding of modern caste system in india. it did make me uncomfortable in many places- which is the point. the anger just flies off the pages and rightfully so.
*relatively happy
my mom has a permanent scowl on her face and i tease her for that. but years and years of despair and anger has probably done that to her. and now that fire burns in me as well even though im relatively happier. i suppose the fire of anger has been passed down from my grandma to my mom to me.
anyway i am trying to careful about my reading choices. if i want the indian experience, i will scour indian book subreddits to find indian authors. similarly for african countries. i ain’t trusting america and their love for trauma porn.
only white ppl are allowed to sit in parisian cafes are dream about croissant and quiche lorraine. god forbid u have a similar dream as a desi lol.
americans aren’t interested to hear that u were privileged and led a regular life yearning for frivolous things. they want u to talk about spices, grandma, chai - these are the kind of pitches that publications are looking for. can’t wait for this trend to die.
i’m so tired of “diaspora food writing”. it’s usually about chai, coffee, grandma, podi, curry, chai, rinse repeat. 😭 i wondered why privileged desis were writing such lukewarm self-pity shit and then i took a food writing course here and now i see- what sells is just this.
This is the tech equivalent of painting a picture of a lion, then fleeing in terror.
gruyère cheese. that’s the one for grilled cheese. and maybe mix it with sharp cheddar. but gruyère
a white orb covered in black speckles and spots rests on a dark sofa cushion. the left side is a dalmatian’s face, tucked in toward her haunches with her thin tail wrapped up to hug her face. she is looking at the camera with one sleepy brown eye.
This is Koyuki. Please do not disturb her. She's in ice cream scoop mode right now. Needs to focus. 12/10 (IG: fuji_bull)
abbott elementary renewed for another season - nice. one of our favorite shows. pure heart and joy. quinta has come a loooong way from buzzfeed.
nobody needs to be in debt to complete an undergraduate degree. let me also tell u that top schools usually employ their masters or phd students to be tutors for undergrad and really what r u paying for?
friends ask me advice on how good my grad school is for their children and i always insist that they should seek community colleges or state colleges to do bachelors and only consider “top schools” for grad school so there’s a chance for funding.
ha ha. thank u.
