I threw out my back writing morning pages in my ikea #poang chair
this is my most #millennial self-inflicted injury yet
Happy Fathers Day: “I’m a grown-ass millennial with diverse interests and hobbies” edition #fathersday #millennial
Millennial trends that need to make a comeback:
- Actually finishing TV series
- Owning physical books
- Having one (1) social media app
- Texting full sentences with punctuation
What would you add to this list?
#millennial #nostalgia #books #socialmedia #millenniallife #technology #oldschool
Starting a support group for people who:
- Still don't know what they want to be when they grow up
- Have 47 hobbies and master none
- Collect houseplants like they're going to save their mental health
- Use "I'm baby" unironically as a coping mechanism
Meeting time: Always. Location: The void. Bring snacks.

I've never been a fan of The Atlantic. They had the opportunity to write material during 2017-2021 to more fully expose Donald Trump for the fraud that he now is, and they instead took a hard pass on calling out The Donald. Instead The Atlantic would focus on trivial details inside the trump administration that didn't have much of a bearing on the overall direction that both the change agents and political progressives in this country wanted to take.
The Atlantic's writing is lackluster and also at times precocious -- the online magazine is made up mostly of east coast snobs and academics who don't "get out enough." Their worldview is limited. This is my view. These are my words and my opinion. They and many other establishment-based publications are really just overrated.
The USA has been stuck with this crap era of journalism since the recession of 2009.
Excluding right wing, extremist websites such as Fox News and Newsmax, modern American news media is owned by around 75% of Baby Boomer owners and investors. This bias or slant is now really making itself plainly evident. A lot of those folks are old and tired. They have no new or really good ideas to promulgate through their media ventures.
I've found from direct personal experience that it's kind of difficult for #GenX writers and younger #Millennial writers to break the mold and get into modern journalism. Many journalists my age or older who are living in the #PNW tend to be populist, brain dead idiots who firmly believe they can embrace both sides of the political spectrum and keep learning from that. I gave up on that endeavor back in 2016 when Trump won his first presidential term. There is presently no salvation nor any hope whatsoever for the ultra right wing MAGA factions. They are fixed on espousing the virtues of fraudulent leaders who truly go their own way.
In that vein, this #AI related link via The Atlantic really does not know "which way is up."
'' The authors observe that large language models take advantage of the brain's tendency to associate language with thinking: "We encounter text that looks just like something a person might have said and reflexively interpret it, through our usual process of imagining a mind behind the text. But there is no mind there, and we need to be conscientious to let go of that imaginary mind we have constructed." ''
As I see it -- #AI is, in fact, creating something through the use of our minds coming up with the preliminary notions of what word constructs are going to be used when executing an AI query or getting involved with an AI-supported project.
When we conceptualize the working construct using language, that is an artifact. That much I know. All of us are humans. We are not machines. Let the machines do the hard work and the robust thinking. Let them do the modelling.
These populist tech writers are trying to inject themselves into the middle of a contentious argument and say all of it doesn't matter at the end of the day. Unfortunately that's not how the present reality works, folks. Go have another spoonful of granola, liberal chowderheads. Learn to think on your own, too.
AI is a complicated beast. Programmers will (and are) relying on AI more to suss out the extent and importance of programming languages. Also, they're using AI to write programming code.
Fact: AI is already replacing entry-level programming jobs across #America.
That much I know. Hey, left-wing academia! Stop writing this populist drivel. Learn physics. Learn actual Computer Science. Stop "withering on the vine" from your academic posts and get more involved.
GenZ and Millennials reject booze culture, opting for sober partying instead. “You don't need to escape to feel good. We're trying to show people they can have that same energy, that same connection, completely sober. The goal is to give people a space to meet their next friend, business partner, even their next relationship, all without having to numb themselves" #health #alcohol #party #GenZ #millennial #sober #community #dance https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/dance-your-heart-out-in-bed-by-9-toronto-s-booming-daytime-party-scene-is/article_932a383b-420b-4325-97d3-437de364adca.html
I keep wondering about #racism.
Here, in #Germany, i'm a #Millennial; we've been taught that we shouldn't discriminate, based on biological/genetic attributes!
Then, i see bi-partisan multi-racial actors in the USofA, arguing nonsense, that doesn't seem to have anything to do with biological race.
Racism seems to have become some kind of "race", as in formula 1 racing.
Are "WE, the people" on the same page, still?
edit: or is all that #confusion just some kind of psy-op?

Being a total #millennial driving back from therapy in my electric car warming an avocado on the dashboard.
All I need is a matcha latte and a topknot and I'm there.
Would you pass, Emily? #zoomer #genz #meme #millennial #boomer #genx #nostalgia
I'm eating avocado toast for lunch. And as an elder #millennial, there is no food I feel more conflicted about.
"Perhaps, of course, it’s simply that the mantle of cool has passed to the next generation and we millennials need to get over it." —Chloë Hamilton for The Guardian

Girls don't want flowers, they want the new Peanuts Tamagotchi that lets you take care of and interact with Snoopy and other characters, and comes with a red Snoopy doghouse-shaped silicone case to store it in.
