I know I am not the only person who finds the insistence of the #NYTimes to continue referring to people with #honorific or courtesy titles, such as "Mr. Surname", instead of simply "Surname", to be offensively #pretentious, no to mention hopelessly #outdated in the 2020s.

If you are thinking about inviting me to a dinner, that will have something like 4 or 5 forks, plus other utensils... that must be used in certain orders...
Just Do Not!
Because I will be laughing and making sarcastic comments through the entire dinner about why humans feel this sets them apart from other humans.

Arcade Fire, be damned! I have a special announcement concerning MY band, Colecovision Conflagration. We have been accused of being more pretentious than Win and Regine. But, dammit, we are just as important!

🇬🇧 A few months ago, those 20ish k / 600mEG would have been a challenge . They are now slowly but steadily going toward the "casual daily run" category.

I really like #masterchef but tonight's restaurant is pure pretentious wank. They don't serve food, they serve 'installations' 🤮

In the dance of high contrast, shadows pirouette off staggered, rust-kissed metal doors. Almost too compelling, my camera couldn't resist. Snap! Snap! 📸
高コントラストの舞で、錆びた金属のドアから影が舞い踊ります。あまりにも魅力的で、私のカメラは抗えませんでした。シャッター！シャッター！📷

Confrontation concrète (digital photo, 2019)
Pro-tip:

No point wasting time with the monkey, who failed to understand the requirements. And in a valiant stupid attempt try to impress ya.

It's important to have little, easily achievable hopes and #aspirations.
One of mine is that I never become so #pretentious and yet so banal as to enjoy reading "The New Yorker".
This is my beach finds box frame entitled
