Someone could probably write a book (if they haven’t already) about the cycle of technology productizing the removal of friction in the name of convenience only for us to discover that the friction was a load-bearing part of the social compact.
Someone told me he thinks dating apps are bad because they let you access connection without having any motion in your life. Normally meeting people requires going out into the world, entering new scenes and navigating unfamiliar situations. You have to be living a life that brings you into contact with other people. Dating apps let you order connection without doing any of that work

it's really interesting to see the "you're gonna get left behind/you're the only one not using it" crowd immediately shift to "that's not real" in the replies of this tweet the moment they're provided with actual data instead of speculation

The moment Saoirse Ronan knew that Jack Lowden was “the one”
“Jack loves how much I love food… I remember when we were sort of courting. I think I was eating like a burger or something, and I looked at him and I was like, ‘What are you looking at?’
He said, ‘I’m watching you while you eat the burger because you’re getting so much out of it.’
And that was when I knew. I was like, ‘You’re my guy.’”

I spent a year and a half making this. Taught myself Blender to do it. At no point did I consider using gen AI to speed up my workflow. Because the end product is not the point. Art is about the process. I learned a lot. Time well spent

A wedding in Lyon, France: The newlyweds emerged from the city hall and unexpectedly found themselves in the midst of a protest.
Instead of disrupting the celebration, the protesters decided to support the couple. Soon, the entire crowd erupted in applause.
