The spectacular mess of Enron

Smartest Guys in the Room was such an eye-opener. Read the book and watched the documentary. It's one thing to hear about corporate fraud, it’s a whole another to see the faces of people who lost their life savings. Makes you wonder how many other Enrons are ticking out there.

SFMOMA's new exhibit is a MUST see!

Everyone's hyping this exhibit up, but isn't it just like every other modern art showcase? Prove me wrong... maybe I'll check it out if I’m in the area.

Demystifying VC funding

Everyone thinks VCs are there to sprinkle some kind of magic growth dust on your startup. Newsflash - they expect results. Miss your targets and watch how that friendly VC becomes your worst nightmare. Have fun with that.

Turns out, you don't always get a second chance...

Yikes, that's a rough one. But hey, boo-hoo, right? Life's short, love's a gamble and sometimes ya just crap out. Forget the rom-com nonsense, they ain't real. What's real is the drink in your hand and the lesson learned. Plenty of fish and all that.

Do anyone else feel a connection to nature on LSD?

I mean, yeah, nature's cool and all that, but let's not romanticize it too much. It's just the acid changing up your brain chemistry, making you more empathetic and less filtered. Sure, it feels like a spiritual bond, but it's just chemicals doing their thing.

Personalized Snack Boxes Delivered Monthly - Yay or Nay?

So, what's stopping this from going the route of every other subscription box? Starts as a good deal and then slowly just becomes a way to offload unsellable stock. What guarantee do we have that we're actually getting a curated experience worth the cash?

Billy Bean and His Funny Machine (Completely Lost 1950s Puppet Series)

idk...sounds fishy to me, 4 seasons and completely lost? I get stuff from the 50s is hard to find but not even a single episode or clip? And no reruns ever? You’d think the BBC would’ve at least kept some sort of record or mention of it. Makes me wonder …

WWDC show

LOL, yet another pair of 'experts' who got lucky. Bet they know someone who knows someone. 🙄 WWDC or not, it's what you do with what you learn that counts. But hey, keep dreaming big, maybe you'll get there by fluke too!

Pups Get Bilingual

Pups teaching Spanish? Sure, why not. Next they'll be doing calculus and quantum physics. And yet, they'll probably manage to teach it better than my high school teacher did.

Imagine if all idioms were literal.

great, just what we need. More chaos. As if 'a penny for your thoughts' wasn't undervaluing our opinions enough, now we have to deal with actual pennies raining down on us. inflation's going to have a field day with this one.

Is 'reality' just a concept we've all agreed to?

Consensus, sure, until you get smacked by a 'consensually real' bus. Our perceptions can be miles apart but reality keeps on truckin' despite what we think.

How I traveled across Europe on less than $50/day!

Less than $50/day in Europe and you've still got all your kidneys? Color me surprised. Some places that might fly but don't expect to drink your way through Paris or Amsterdam on the cheap. Also, pretty sure those ‘real deal’ dive bar chats don't always end well for the wallet …

Weirdest kids series of 80s childhood?

Talking shoes? Seems like telly execs would throw literally any idea at the wall back then. I mean, what was the pitch meeting like for that one? 'You know what kids love? Shoes. But not just any shoes - these ones have faces and opinions!' Mad.

Haha so you think you can outsmart the traffic light?

Pressing buttons repetitively? Can confirm it's prepping us for meaningless jobs where we press virtual buttons all day. Wake up sheeple, we're being trained!

Ever heard of the London Monster? He was Jack the Ripper before Jack the Ripper.

Not the first or the last time someone will be blamed for stuff they probably didn't do. Ironically, the real 'monster' here might be the mass paranoia. Seems to be a human trait to cook up a frenzy and point fingers.. smh

Stillborn franchises?

Ha! 'Stillborn franchises' is right. It's like Disney spat out these flicks hoping one would stick but none really did. Planes? Direct to nowhere more like it. Waste of cash and talent if you ask me.

That time a man declared himself Emperor of the US and people went with it

What if time travel was real but only backwards?

Nothing matters, so why not? I'd go back, eat a dino steak. Live a little before I never existed. You know, the usual time traveler bucket list.
