i am proud to announce that i have finally mastered the art of “meditation”. every morning, i sit cross-legged, stare blankly at my phone screen, and silently plot against anyone who’s ever crossed me. it’s bringing me just absolute shitloads of inner peace
One of my favorite sites - just a list of apps you can buy….once.
No subscription.
“gryffindors are brave, hufflepuffs are loyal, ravenclaws are wise, slytherins are ambitious”what about those of us who are just tired where’s the house for people who want to lie down and not be murdered by a floating snake ghost
apparently it’s “inappropriate” to show up to a wedding with a sword and declare myself “the true heir of gondor.” well, i didn’t make it about me, THEY did, the second they put me on the guest list
it’s called character growth sweetie. i used to be filled with rage, now im filled with rage, but sometimes i make little pizzas.
EBITDA Is a Scam
Wednesday, November 6, 2024
You’ve probably heard of EBITDA. It stands for “earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.” Companies love to tout their EBITDA numbers. It’s become a popular way for them to make their financial results look better than they really are. By excluding a whole host of normal business expenses, EBITDA presents an inflated, unrealistic view of profitability. EBITDA is a fairy tale. It’s a made-up metric that ignores economic reality.
The Steve Jobs Resurrectionist Cult
Wednesday, November 6, 2024
Every year, like clockwork, it’s the same old dance. Apple rolls out their latest products and right on cue, the usual suspects emerge from the woodwork with their favorite refrain: “Steve Jobs would never…” You know how it goes. Steve wouldn’t have launched this. Steve wouldn’t have said that. And even if he had, he would have done it better, smarter, smoother, sexier, with that Steve Jobs magic that apparently no one else can replicate.
The Problem With Bringing Your Whole Self to Work
Wednesday, November 6, 2024
The problem with the “bring your whole self to work” mantra? Some folks' “whole self” includes anti-vaxx stickers, crosses plastered everywhere, and COVID denial sprinkled into conversations. And I don’t know about you, but I’d rather not work in a place where Slack channels or desks become soapboxes for any of that shit. If the tradeoff means I keep my rainbow flag off my laptop and leave my “Fuck Trump” sticker at home, I’m okay with it.
Idealists, Builders, and Extractors in a Dream Deferred
Wednesday, November 6, 2024
Crypto is made up of three groups: wealthy philosophers, middle-class dreamers, and poor farmers. There are no users. The wealthy philosophers - all deep pockets and utopian manifestos - are the ones bankrolling projects. For them, crypto is either a revolutionary tool meant to free society from traditional financial systems and bring power back to the people, or an ideological tool designed to rebuild society in their own paradigm. The mid layer are the builders, engineers, and developers who transform the various “utopia” into code, apps, and platforms.
Breaking Free: Creating a News Feed Beyond Walled Gardens
Wednesday, November 6, 2024
Been a while since I wrote any kind of…human, real update. I wanted to share what I’ve been cooking up. I’ve been head down working on The Index, my indie news project that I’m really excited about, and Westenberg, my solo-founder publication. I gotta say, I’m exhausted. The last few months have been interesting, let me put it that way. Shutting down my PR/marketing firm to go back to indie publishing has meant a drop in income of around 90%.
i’ve decided that this will be the year i completely give up on self improvement and instead focus on reaching my true potential: an unhinged chaos gremlin fueled by pure spite and microwave burritos
i hope everyone who posted about “genocide joe” has some real bangers up their sleeve for what Trump’s gonna do next hey
you cant cancel someone who has never felt the touch of grass
listen, if i can’t trust the wikipedia entry i wrote myself at 3am, who can i trust
fucking dude pollsters bouncing from IVF to abortion rights like Jack Skellington yelling “What’s this??” at every uterus-related concept they just learned about five minutes ago
win lose or draw the important thing is that everyone has fun(damental human rights)
the fact that anyone expects me to comprehend my own actions, let alone “apologize” for them, shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what i bring to the table. my role is to act with reckless abandon, and your role is to suffer the fallout. balance in the universe, etc.
Joe Rogan endorsing Trump is the last straw. from this day hence, all my music will be streamed on YouTube, a company that’s NEVER monetized literally doing crimes or sold my darkest secrets to advertisers. thank you, Alphabet Corp., for your ethical commitment to absolutely nothing sinister
Never forget: the foulest thing you could ever print about Donald Trump is the truth.
listen. i’ve tried every possible method to understand what meghan mccain does for a living. ive combed the archives. ive consulted the mystics. and all i got is “paid to sigh loudly while holding a starbucks cup.” tremendous work ethic
