We’ve got to update your laptop and will slow down everything you do until you agree to update. But first, click here to agree. Update installed — your laptop’s broken now. It doesn’t matter, since your boss just replaced you with AI. Go to your phone to complain on social media. Wait, your phone needs an update so we can add more AI. Click here. Oh sorry, your phone can’t handle this update. Now it’s useless. Go get the newest phone. Here’s a text from a friend, an email, a voice mail they left three days ago but you didn’t see until now because of sync problems with the cloud. It’s their GoFundMe. Their MLM. Their Patreon. Never mind, you didn’t respond to their text within 9 minutes and now you’re no longer friends. They blocked you. Make new friends. Download this app to find people in your area.

You can join. It’ll take a decade to get your $3.73 share of the ten billion settlement. We’ll send it via PayPal or deposit it to your bank, just tell us those details. Oh no, another hack. That info is circulating now, too. Here’s a spam call, a spam email, a spam text. Why are you angry? Why are you talking about getting rid of your phone? Why don’t you like AI, it lets us make all of this easier? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? This is progress. You’ll be left behind. Do you want to be left behind? Do you???
I just found out that Anne Hathaway optioned the rights to a book about a modern tradwife influencer who wakes up in 1855 and has to live the life that she’s been selling to her followers online. I am SCREAMING
This is a repost in case some of you missed it. Costco membership offers way more than I think people take advantage of. Y'all do a spring cleaning of all your memberships and start to maximize on every discount or offer available! #Inspirenaire
slowly but surely, this is going to be the experience and expressed sentiment of virtually every human being with a shred of ambition.
and they’ll all start waking up and we’re all going to be watching with popcorn.
we’re still so early, chat. somehow.
So I have a new podcast called “How is This Better” and we went scorched earth on the AI slop from bots on here about the war in Iran. Listen and watch wherever you get your pods.
Anytime I’m about to try something new and fear starts to creep in, …I think of this interview Oprah gave in 1986.

Yes, Tourette syndrome is real. We hold space for that. Coprolalia is real. We hold space for that. But so is history. So is the humiliation of having that word attached to your name in a viral clip that will live online forever
To Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo, Here is the apology you are owed: We are sorry that during a historic awards season of the most nominated film in Oscar History that you have to endure this. We are sorry that the BAFTA and BBC allowed a racist remark to remain in program, while editing out “Free Palestine.” We are sorry to Ryan Coogler - that while celebrating your first Black achievement in cinema in 2026 - your film stars in that very same space can still be publicly hit with The N-Word.
We are sorry that the instinct was to protect the institution before protecting you, to demand your composure instead of their accountability.
The SINS of the forefathers apparently don’t die. They just find new stages to act on.
