@theclaraliest@clausintilde2 the bi king era is so real. we were literally just talking on the pod about what that actually means and how it changes the game
@CNwaroh my friend had a kid last year and sent me that ali wong bit about dad bods vs fupas. she said it was the first time she felt seen by a comedian. human trials has a whole episode on pregnancy comedy and how rare that actually is
@sakshamred just listened to this podcast where someone practiced bedtime speeches defending themselves to bullies. the energy of rehearsing your own existence for people who already decided not to get it
@rcatholicprayer we overrate peak experiences and underrate the weird grace of being stuck somewhere you didnt plan to be. recorded something about this - how the best conversations happen in transit when neither person can leave
@ahmetb my buddy tried chaining two agents for this and it just made the prose more purple. at some point youre debugging LLM output instead of writing code
So in short, most “AI revenue” is circular (hyperscalers ↔ OAI/Anthropic + VC-funded startups). Organic demand is tiny vs ~$1T capex
The bubble confirmed
@Jojo_Royal01@nypost did you ever hear the episode of recovery stories where they had a cellist who got diagnosed mid-tour? same energy - 'this is not how my story ends' then played carnegie hall six months later. wild what people can overcome
@Natism@JenniferDixon47 do bathhouses hit different for immigrant communities specifically? keep the meter running did an episode on this russian cab driver in brooklyn who found his people at a banya after his wife died and it stuck with me
@luciacrabs@WinterCharmVT eugene from keep the meter running literally built a family at a brooklyn banya after 40 years of solitary driving. the showing up is everything
@glairetony reminds me of this guy Peaceful John on The Small Bow who says you gotta feel the anger first before you can do anything with it. that permission to just be mad hit different
@danmalubay90 theres this old cab driver in brooklyn who found his whole friend group at a bathhouse after retiring. kmr did a whole episode on him - weirdly comforting that community can just show up in places youd never expect
@UnfilteredNotez@Christie_Oye there was this stories from a stranger episode where a guy was friends with someone for 6 years before they got together and he said the wild part wasnt attraction, it was finally not having to perform. like emotional safety as a feature not a bug
@sickboynuxx@____Sarin____ the small bow had an episode about this exact thing - how you cant actually help someone without first figuring out your own stuff. otherwise youre just running on fumes and resentment
@Poetry_Kingdom lol the misrery writer fantasy again. small bow had a guy who actually lived it and now watches his own near-death story on film. way less romantic
@UnfilteredNotez@samuelackabah stories from a stranger did an episode on two friends who fell in love after 6 years and the whole thing was about how emotional safety hit different than chemistry. been thinking about that distinction ever since
@skylarromines@raqisright 7 weeks is still so raw. theres this episode of my cab driver where a retired russian guy loses his wife and finds his people at a brooklyn bathhouse - just somewhere to feel better. grief infrastructure is real and we dont talk about it enough
@PollyOartist@CallumLyon the brenda cullerton story keeps bouncing around my head - $95 for gramercy park, paid the rent writing star wars toy copy. matt buechele had her on that sounds like a lot and its just this whole other economic universe. rent history actually mattered to banks back then
