One Battle After Another, 2025 - ★★★★

I should know better than to get a quick oil change before a trip with my family.

Every possible issue feels like they’re asking if I want to be stranded on the highway in the middle of nowhere because I wanted to save $79. 😆


Almost forgot again. My daily reminder is never at a convinent time.

It’s telling that a lot of the AI “help you edit your video / podcast” tools have no idea what to do with human laughter. They sometimes mute it or amplify it in weird ways. Or cut it off awkwardly. Sometimes they leave it alone entirely. But rarely do they get it right in my experience.


Awkward “fear” unlocked: leave Neville tied up outside while I go in and get a coffee. I can do hard things. 😤

I want to believe AI slop is just harmless goofs, and while it’s early days on OpenAI’s Sora social app, I agree with JA Westenberg: If You Let Your Kid Use Sora, You’re A Bad Parent.

“These apps are not neutral. They are not tools that can be molded by “responsible” use.”


My number one tip for anyone starting a podcast: Remember to unmute your mic before you start recording.


Instead of delighting in the creativity of humans, let’s all stare at AI slop mixed with AI slop advertisements.

I love #Letterboxd for following movies, but knowing this soulless ghoul profits from the use of it makes me want to drop it.

A tweet by andrew wilkinson reading I think OpenAI just killed TikTok. &10;&10;I’m already laughing my head off and hooked on my Sora feed. &10;&10;And now, the #1 barrier to posting (the ability to sing/dance/perform/edit) is gone. Just 100% imagination. &10;&10;RIP theater kids 🪦@Awilkinson on Twitter’s profile. Co-founder of Tiny w/ @_Sparling_&10;.

We need a Slow Horses / Bad Sisters crossover season where Slough House tries to figure out how Bibi’s wife died and Roddy thinks Becka is super into him. #AppleTV


They paved paradise and put up a parking lot and a high rise and more home developments and a high school maybe a gym or pool and stuff.
