Millennials really mastered the art of being both, deeply traumatized and extremely funny about it, I love us.

Please, God, let generative AI and chatbots fade away like NFTs did with a swift, spectacular fall into irrelevance.

Millennials acquired a level of cultural literacy that seems unthinkable today because we grew up being relentlessly exposed to films, cartoons, songs from the 1930s and ‘40s. We had media that wasn’t afraid to reference old books & cinema, that respected our intelligence.
I need y'all to remember that Millennials were growing up in a time where reruns were HEAVILY still a thing. We were consuming media from as early as the 30s. Movies, television, music. Definitely cartoons. And loving it all. "What y'all know about this?" LITERALLY EVERYTHING.

Turns out putting unqualified white supremacists in charge of literally everything was a really fucking bad idea.

TICK, TICK…BOOM! turns 5 today. Stephen Sondheim wasn’t happy with his own dialogue in the film’s final voicemail, so he rewrote the message himself & recorded it. The voice encouraging Andrew Garfield’s Jonathan Larson at the end is the real Sondheim.

Men’s wandering dicks crash economies and their fragile egos start wars, but somehow women are still “too emotional” to lead. The irony is fucking hilarious.

Microsoft has laid off thousands of employees while investing billions in AI. Now Outlook goes down, and everyone is depending on human engineers to get things running again. It’s interesting how companies keep talking about replacing people until something breaks and they need people to fix it.

I think men are often surprised when powerful men face consequences because it breaks a fantasy they quietly hold: that enough power, money and influence should make you untouchable

Rapist Brock Turner is going by Allen Turner now because he thinks he should be able to just move on with his life. I disagree, so every time there’s an update I’m thrilled to share it far & wide. He’s in Dayton Ohio & looks like this now.

I don't know who needs to hear this but when you see someone with a disability accommodation such as a service dog or ESA, it is rude as hell to ask why they need it. It's none of your business.

I honestly think most of the people in tech need to reflect on what they think they are building, how their products are actually used for and the ethics around it
moving away from the bay area for a short while has been helpful for understanding how non-tech people feel about AI as of now, turns out they really really really don't like it e.g., making small talk on halloween, was accused of being "evil" for working on AI tools

The inability of the left to distinguish between an imperfect ally and an enemy is the height of privilege and will be our downfall

I think that being a good person is hard and complicated, but a choice you have to make every day, and it's worth making, was exactly the message that we needed in pop culture right now. #Superman
