all day I have been looking forward to getting to settle in and read this piece by Elias Greig who for my money is consistently producing some of the best writing in Australia right now overland.org.au/2024/03/freeho…

killers of the flower moon was the best movie and Oppenheimer was fanfiction about what smart people sound like, the culture is broken [I'm eating my third Tim Tam of the night]

Here's what you're gonna do when you have to pass up really exciting opportunities. You're gonna buy (a) a thing of Van Leeuwen ice cream (honeycomb) and (b) a bag of microwave popcorn. Put bits of (b) in (a). Repeat

It is in fact not a profound moral achievement to say something slightly less wrong than the person before you & it’s a shame that the think economy treats this as the most exciting glamorous thing you could possibly do

You know that Zelle ad where he pays his friend for half of lunch by talking into his phone? And the amount he transfers is ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY FIVE US DOLLARS? I hate him and his rich lunch

I would just like to say that writing an advice column has turned out to be one of the best & most fulfilling things I've ever done. I get so much from hearing about other people's ways through life. Anyway thank you for reading and letting me do this, how improbable ♥️

if you are ever fatigued of imagination, drudgery has taken over delight, you think nothing can be seen anew, stick some bubbly water in front of a cat

I always thought if you were charged with a crime in the USA, you could plead 3 ways: (1) GUILTY (2) NOT GUILTY or (3) say nothing aka NO CONTEST (basically same as guilty) Turns out, there’s a 4th option. A weird paradoxical & surprisingly common one you prob never heard of. 🧵

Learning a new DAW is like moving house in that your fate is entirely sealed by the first week. You think "I'll figure that out later" & you mean "time will turn my grandchildren to dust before I attend to that again"

The truth is I think we can control our sneezes and I look down on people who gender theirs. That walrus bark or the twinkle of fairy on a mushroom. Knock it off

every single justification i’ve seen for using chatgpt is something any adult human should be able to do with ease. if you use that shit to write emails or essays or help plan your travel or literally anything at all you are a morally bankrupt feeble minded idiot. full stop.
