Checklist for rest 6 months of this 2026 :
1. Finding a remote job.
2. 15k+ followers over on X.
3. Content creation on AI and tech related over on Insta.
4. Learn to drive in actual traffic without panicking.
4. Go on a religious trip with my family
5. One north-east trip with my friends.
6. Get Meta Glasses because pretending I'm living in 2030 sounds fun
Manifesting all of this before 2027. Wish me a luck

🚨 MASS LAYOFFS ARE GETTING OUT OF CONTROL.
In just the last 10 days, some of the world’s biggest companies announced thousands of job cuts.
Barclays: 5,000
American Express: 3,500
Volvo: 2,500
eBay: 1,000
Netflix: 1,000 (reported)
That’s roughly 13,000 jobs across just FIVE companies.
Zoom out. US employers have announced 573,195 job cuts so far in 2026. Tech alone is at 165,925, up 54% from last year. AI is cited in 120,136 cuts, the top reason this year.
Meanwhile, the four biggest US tech companies plan to spend about $710 billion on AI this year.
The money is going into machines. The jobs are going out the door.
