I canʼt believe I have to tell people this, but

  • Donʼt buy smart home shit
  • Donʼt download an app to get a free smoothie
  • Donʼt sign up for something you heard about in a piece of junk mail
  • Donʼt create an account with fucking McDonald's or Chipotleʼs or whatever
  • Donʼt use a coupon or a discount for something you werenʼt going to buy anyway
  • Donʼt sign up for free trials
  • Donʼt let the devil in through the front door
  • Donʼt let them sell you anything

You will not come out ahead.

@bourgwick kris kristofferson vs. toby keith, 2003, as told by ethan hawke in rolling stone (with real alt text)

Source: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/kris-kristofferson-last-outlaw-poet-ethan-hawke-interview-714098/

“Don’t turn your back to me, boy,” Kristofferson shouted, not giving a shit that basically the entire music industry seemed to be flanking him. The Star turned around: “I don’t want any problems, Kris – I just want you to tone it down.” “You ever worn your country’s uniform?” Kris asked rhetorically. “What?” “Don’t ‘What?’ me, boy! You heard the question. You just don’t like the answer.” He paused just long enough to get a full chest of air. “I asked, ‘Have you ever served your country?’ The answer is, no, you have not. Have you ever killed another man? Huh? Have you ever taken another man’s life and then cashed the check your country gave you for doing it? No, you have not. So shut the fuck up!” I could feel his body pulsing with anger next to me. “You don’t know what the hell you are talking about!” “Whatever,” the young Star muttered. Ray Charles stood motionless. Willie Nelson looked at me and shrugged mischievously like a kid in the back of the classroom. Kristofferson took a deep inhale and leaned against the wall, still vibrating with adrenaline. He looked over at Willie as if to say, “Don’t say a word.” Then his eyes found me. “You know what Waylon Jennings said about guys like him?” he whispered. I shook my head. “They’re doin’ to country music what pantyhose did to finger-fuckin’.”

So Roku makes you agree to new terms of service waiving your right to sue the company in order to keep using the hardware you paid for, then three days later reveals a data breach.

I guess weʼve given up pretending that capitalism is anything more than open war of all against all at this point?

The meaning of “Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra” as a reference to communication by metaphorical cultural reference has completely eclipsed its original meaning of two strangers becoming allies through a shared trial, and thatʼs a real Shaka When the Walls Fell if you ask me

Dot matrix printers were it, y’all. Want to print a single line of text? Ka-ching. Want to print a 7-foot-long “Happy Birthday” banner? I got you, fam.

Plus remember how satisying it was to tear the tracks off?

Out of ink? No problem, you can get a couple pages more, they’ll just be a little lighter, that’s all.

We gave it all away.

According to literary theorists, all stories follow one of 7 basic plot outlines:

  1. Overcoming the monster

  2. Rags to riches

  3. Nerd removes glasses, revealing theyʼre secretly hot

  4. Bachelor adopts monkey and hijinks ensue

  5. Atreyu and Artax in the Swamps of Sadness

  6. That thing that happened to Todd and them at the gas station

  7. Star Trek TOS s01e05 “The Enemy Within”

On this Prime Day, let me say: Make consumer choices for yourself, and more power to you if you can afford to have a conscience about it.

Iʼm not buying anything from Amazon today, and Iʼm working on phasing them out of my life altogether.

But I spent nearly a decade being a broke-ass single parent, and if youʼre judging somebody out here in the shit for saving a few bucks however they can, I hope youʼre prepared to pay them the difference.

Does anyone know if there is a resource that maps underground spaces in the U.S.? Iʼm thinking drain and sewer pipes, transit tunnels, and so on.

Please boost for reach!

Imagine if the alchemists had succeeded in their goal of transmuting lead into gold.

They could have kept the process secret and enriched themselves amd their patrons beyond their wildest dreams.

Or they could have released the knowledge to the world, turning gold plentiful, undermining the existing basis of accumulated wealth and providing the people with an inexpensive material whose unique properties make it ideal for any number of practical uses.

Which kind of alchemist would you be?

You donʼt have to go see that movie or watch that tv show or read that book that “everyoneʼs talking about.” Not everyoneʼs talking about it if youʼre not. Talk about your thing.
