Observations, sometimes jokes. Not great, Bob!

I am beyond frustrated that my “boycott this restaurant due to AI slop advertising” list only grows, daily. And it’s all so bad! So generic! What social media manager is looking at this and going oh yeah, this will set us apart??

You heal from cancer. And your port is out, and your hair grows back and you don’t look sick, or feel sick, and you’re a year out from a double mastectomy. Then you’ll cry in the fitting room because you don’t know how to explain to the sales girl that you have no idea what size bra you need.

My stupid, useless take is I believe social media pages have an obligation to delete bad engagement comments. I’m sure you can imagine what the comments section on a Dallas influencers guide to pride parades looks like. Every nasty comment should be deleted and those accounts blocked.

I’m having a difficult time with the conspiracy theory brain around Ebola, considering I lived in Dallas in 2014 and can remember how that situation was treated. By which I mean it was given all the seriousness it deserved, and no one was screaming it was a lie to control the masses.

One thing I sincerely don’t get is people’s enjoyment of obvious AI slop pet videos. No, I don’t need to see a cat doing MJ moves on its hind legs wearing people clothes. How is this entertaining to you? It wouldn’t even be a good cartoon. Killing the planet so you can see a dog do a crotch grab.

The thing that is so incredibly stupid about using promises made, promises kept as a catch phrase is the people using it are just full time lying about everything. So incredibly easy to say and do when you just make shit up whole cloth.

Every time I see a post in my professional network about people trying to buy caps & gowns for their masters graduation it makes me so happy I skipped mine. The cost is insane. The stress of the event is insane. I went to a steakhouse to celebrate and it was 100% a better use of my money and time.

I have some friends who post politically on fb and don’t block or delete when people reply with dumbass maga shit. And honestly I hate that. Get rid of the losers in your life or quit posting. Or do it in private like I do here on bluesky so I can talk to my echo chamber.
