I swear every corporate ad I get on Instagram sucks, but every music promo I get is the most fire artist of all time.
My favourite hobby is scrolling through Figma too quickly and crashing my laptop because it maxes my memory.
I'm working on a hardware project and there appears to be $100 of scope creep every day 😅
My favourite thing about preorders is forgetting they exist. Looks like I got some @ibogost.com reading to do now!
they call it "single sign on" because you have to sign on every single time
My neighbour got in trouble for making the complex smell like weed so now they’ve found a new strategy: make the complex smell like weed and incense.
Frequency separation has to be one of the most useful techniques to have in your back pocket for editing photos.
"We can't have children use social media! Let's ban it completely!" "We must have children use chatbots! Let's put them in all classrooms!" wtf is society doing
