Semisonic put on a great show filled with new songs and hits from the past. 🎢

It has been a long time since we’ve been to First Ave.

We watched the final episode of The Middle tonight and everyone thought it was a delightful wrap up of the story and gave the characters a wonderful send off.

Giving the Bear Blog Theme a try. I like the simplicity and speed.

Anti-Social

Social media is a mess.

I’ve lost track of what is social about it. It is a Skinner Box of addiction. The reductionism of a timeline is tiresome. The dopamine inducing likes are there to create some saccharin view of engagement.

I recently noticed that I was falling back into behavior I had broken out of years ago. I was again finding myself checking the Twitter timeline to see what is happening. Then I would feel bad about introducing into my brain all this random crap. The coach part of me knows this isn’t what I should be doing. But the monkey brain loves to see new things, chase them down, and play with the ideas in my head.

The problem is me Twitter, not you. Actually that is wrong. The problem is both of us. The problem is actually the entire social media model. It is an apparatus of addiction built around nothing. There is no there to find. There is no end to reach.

So I unfollowed every account. If you notice I unfollowed you on Twitter, don’t take it personally. It’s me, not you.

I have never seen a CAPTCHA on an unsubscribe form! That is a new level of obnoxious. 😀

I was excited to see nnxyz, one of my favorite artists, publishing on Nifty.Ink again after a couple months away. Bought nnxyz rawblocks 49 to celebrate.
