🎙️ON AIR:
We're talking to @morgansung.bsky.social, @sfgate.com's Stephen Council, and @kjezermorton.bsky.social about friction-maxxing and how doing things the hard way can bring us more joy, serendipity and human connection.
❓How do you friction-maxx?

As tech companies try to sell us on the idea that life itself is an inconvenience, "an orientation toward friction is really the only defense we have against the life-annihilating suction of technologies of escape," @kjezermorton.bsky.social writes. www.thecut.com/article/broo...

Impressed that this piece was up for a full 10 hours before someone mentioned calling social services in the comments. America is growing up 🥹 www.thecut.com/article/broo...
Today my 11 year old was like, does the F in F Scott Fitzgerald stand for “fuck”?
my husband was DEEPLY offended that we were not invited in. I only realized it was rude afterward but now I think it was???
last evening my family and I were walking past my childhood home as a guy was coming out the front door. I stopped and said "I grew up here" and he was like "cool" and then he got into his new Audi and left. He should have invited me in to look around right?
Go Habs go ❤️💙🤍
My family is cursed… is yours? Sound off in the comments!

It works. The government here largely works. Because we are so spoiled by how well it works, we are letting a fool convince us it is broken.
Because tomorrow is tax day I was thinking about my late father's best friend, Randy Kehler, who refused to pay federal income taxes as an act of protest. I hadn't heard he died last summer. What an inspiration Randy was and should continue to be! www.nytimes.com/2024/08/01/u...
I heard that song “bittersweet symphony” the other day and suddenly knew exactly what it would feel like to be a rich democratic candidate riding public transit for the first time in their life
SECOND LIFE "treats digital culture and the internet as it is: a character in our lives, deserving of our sharpest critical engagement, but also part of how we make ourselves at home in the world" - thank you @kjezermorton.bsky.social www.thecut.com/article/seco...

Hell yeah
Every person with a working brain should be chilled to the bone by the government’s illegal capture and disappearing of this man. And every educator who works on a college campus should be enraged at this institutional cowardice and ready acquiescence.
all the talk about the attention economy etc misses the part about social media being a disciplinary technology, in terms of people's habits tastes behaviours. the book i'm writing is about this and i'm almost finished the first draft
The Florida Project is amazing too. Respect to Sean Baker

in like the 1998 congressional campaign Bernie's opponents made bumper stickers that said 'Bye Bye Bernie' and so Bernie's campaign made "response" ones that said "Aye Aye! Bernie!" My dad had one on his Subaru Impreza and I found it a bit cringe. In fact in retrospect I still kinda do.
french people like to snack on the end bit of their baguette on the walk home from the boulangerie and that's how i am chugging a lacroix while carrying the box home
has photoshopping family photos become the norm? sincere question thanks
Enjoyable
It was cool when last night Canada beat the US in overtime during the big hockey game
RICH people are boring, not poor people 🤦🏻♀️
First time in the history of humanity that being poor is being used as an excuse for not partying… capitalism is winning kids and you’re letting it
