“Hey …”
Unemployed journalist, burner, raver, graphic artist and vandweller.
I read news so you don’t have to (but you still should).
“Hey …”


To hell?


Granting corporations personhood worked out really well.


I spent several years in Oregon. It was a pretty chill place. You didn’t have the bullshit of a governor in a wheelchair who won a multimillion-dollar verdict ahead of making sure no one else could ever do that.
Texas politics are fucked. And that fucking tree should have finished the job.


God, do I miss being in a state where shit changes because of evidence.


Turning around in a drive-thru is a bold move.

It’s been forever on account of them closing down almost all their stores. The rate of expansion circa 1996 was absurd. We were cannibalizing our own customer base by opening up a new one a few miles away. There’s only so much demand for rotisserie chicken when you’re charging twice what Costco does.


I worked at Boston Market back in the '90s, and we would endlessly steal the precooked bacon from the sandwich station, usually crouching behind it to avoid management noticing.
Look: I’m not going to claim I agree with him on everything. Though there are a satisfying number of "fuck"s.
But he does research so I don’t have to, and I enjoy that.
One thing Ed does is use my cadence, so it comes across as very natural. It’s kinda like how dogs sniff each other and feel comfortable.
He was right.
Yeah, a good writer will reduce things to this size of a sentence. Now, this requires skill … three random monosyllabic words and a period gets you nowhere. It’s a bit like comedy in that the setup is required for the punchline.
I mean, yeah, he sounds like he’s yelling at clouds, but he brings the receipts.


My ex had an uncle with exactly my voice. Cadence, accent, inflection … it was uncanny.


This was infuriating to me when I started college as a CS major. I dropped out after Intro because they weren’t giving us anything worth remembering.


I had no connection to him, nor do I truly care, but … really? Ferrari in the hed? Holy framing, Batman. A simple “car accident” would have acquitted itself just fine.
This is like the hyperdetailed “get the name of the dog” that a certain generation expected. Fluffy doesn’t matter, and neither does a Ferrari.


I’m going to disagree here. It must have two wheels. I get the reference, but you didn’t nail the landing.


Nah, the crosswalk ones are still worse.


The push to re-physicalize interfaces has even led to an unexpected side gig for Dr. Plotnick, the academic authority on buttons. Companies are tapping her to consult on how to improve their physical controls.
Well played.
Setting aside the cognitive dissonance of “everyone else is the problem” that generally erupts as main-character syndrome, there are communities such as Street Medics already on this. You don’t really want to spin something up in reaction.
