Why do we need "individual action" when what we REALLY need is "systems change?" Let's break it down 👇 ALL change requires a human (usually many humans) to change behavior, take an action, or make a decision different from what they were doing before.

It’s crazy how the bad corporate guy, Burke, in Aliens looks near-identical to Sam Altman, and the truck Ripley saves the crew in is a big cybertruck.

Everyone should watch the ending of Terminator 1 and reassess how they feel about the Optimus Prime in their home.

Prediction: Everything internet and AI will become painfully uncool soon like a cliff drop.

Most parents in SV are training their kids to code, but mummy’s giving the girl a serious encyclopedic knowledge of everything goth.

I am learning, once again, that the easy way is the hard way, and the hard way was the easy way all along.

I'm so sick of getting abused by men. I live a fairly quiet and polite life, yet the entitlement of men to write or yell abusive things to me on the street amazes me - and although women can be cruel sometimes, too, it's easily 90% from men. Good manners go a long way.

Just wanted to put it out there that I am not lonely or disconnected like everyone says people are.

New Rules. Life is now just a game of "Which ball do I drop today?"

I’m getting more sure over time that the prize goes to the person with the highest pain tolerance.

I’m starting to feel like scrolling is as offensive a habit as smoking cigarettes.

Pro tip: If you don’t buy a f* ton of stuff, nor build a career from making it, the tariffs don’t affect you so much. If you think of tariffs as a tax on over-consumption, it hits different.

Something magical has happened. I finally got rich and old enough to completely stop giving a f*ck.

I observed there is a very specific “condescending left” facial expression that folks make when trying to sound smart by criticizing the right. Discovered by scrolling with sound off, i know the topic by the facial expression before reading the captions.

Evidence that the vegan cult is truly batsh* crazy. I mention that industrial agriculture, even that grows plants, is the largest cause of biodiversity loss I.e harming animals through lost habitat. They are enraged and accuse me on mass of “promoting meat.” 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️

My point being, focus on minimizing reliance on far off crops and try to grow whatever food you can in your balcony, in a hydroponic. Start a community garden. Eat less. Obsessing over filtering the last 0.1% of eggs a year from your diet to be “in” the virtue cult is folly.

I have noticed over years of making things, that if you don't have the fire within you to make it as very extremely excellent as you are able, it will probably fail.

Imagine if this were the train station of any major North American city, with trains taking you up to 500 miles in any direction in less than three hours?

I am amazed now I am building out a complete pro system for @helloworldlabs by how adding the smallest addition feature balloons the complexity of the system. There’s nothing like following something through to the end to unveil how much anything really takes.
