Haven’t seen Rollerball (1975) in a loooooong time, but I think I might rewatch it since I was reminded of how they forecasted the destruction of books and literacy.

The last few selfies I’ve taken with friends have all been so terrible as if the shutter speed is effing up. Anyone else having this issue on an iPhone? It sucks because I love my friends and I love documenting our time together!

I can’t stand anyone who perpetuates the expression “snitches get stitches” because it shows how deeply indoctrinated they are in a frat like culture and they don’t understand how important whistleblowers are to creating a safer society for all of us.

Thinking of naming my crow friend Macbeth… because he’s the Thane of Caw-dor! LOLZ! But seriously, folks… I think it’s perfect… especially with his involvement in a murder.

The 988 suicide prevention hotline's Press 3 option — which provides specialized services to LGBTQ callers — has been restored more than a year after the Trump administration shut it down. Confirmed by HHS and the office of Senator Tammy Baldwin, who led on legislation that forced its restoration

To the men condemning the Cornell 7 and actively trying to encourage other men to do the same: I see you and I’m so grateful for you. To the men saying nothing: you make me wonder if you would stay silent in a group chat planning a gang rape and that is terrifying. We need you to do better.

Instead of just walking out, I was hoping the diplomats would surround him and demand his arrest. I guess it was futile since world leaders are immune to being arrested at the UN, but COME ON!

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

I need people to understand just how dangerous it is to cross at a crosswalk in Los Angeles… Last week, a woman bitched at me because I got off my skateboard and walked across the street as a pedestrian. She has no idea how many close calls I’ve had with drivers speeding through stop signs.

Company: Contact us for returns by phone or email! I phone them & leave a message. Company (texts back): Email us instead! I email them. Company: Use our return portal instead, here’s the link! 🤬

Started working with a skateboarding coach today. Him: “I really want to start coaching for the Olympics.” Me: “Well, I wasn’t planning on going to the Olympics with this, but if you INSIST!” 🤪🤙

Took my glasses off to look at the sunset since everything seemed to be in focus, then I saw two planes about to collide(!) so I put them back on to see more clearly. It was only one plane, dear reader, and that’s why I need glasses.

Eating a light dinner of random stuff for my pantry because I didn’t want to get delivery and make someone else work on Labor Day. Meanwhile, I’ve seen two Amazon trucks pull up while eating… I hope they get their union soon.

Guy sits down next to me at bus stop blasting hip hop from a speaker. Him: “How you doin?” Me (hesitates before turning, takes a deep breath): “Alright, you?” Him: “HOT!” His hip hop station goes to a commercial about premature ejaculation. He flails to change the station ASAP. Life is a comedy.
