NYE juxtapostion - tryna mash together in my brain the desire to wallow in the nihilistic delight of Mork & Mindy by Sleaford Mods whilst simultaneuosly really crudely picking out a Bach double violin concerto on a mandolin and not really remembering it right.....

All the while, the relentless refrain "make the pizza...make the pizza...make the pizza...make the pizza...make the pizza...make the pizza" goes on in my head

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 Surname", instead of simply "Surname", to be offensively #pretentious, no to mention hopelessly #outdated in the 2020s.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...

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!

🤔 "Oh, look, another developer blog with more #buzzwords than a digital marketing seminar. 😴 'Fuck Hackcyom'? More like 'Hackcyomfuck' for having the audacity to be this #pretentious while inventing problems nobody asked for. 🚀 But hey, keep exploring those 'neurosymbolic graphs'—whatever helps you sleep at night." 😎

Fuck Hackcyom

It’s 2023, I’m 24 years old, my passion project, the OSINTBuddy project started becoming popular, I had cybersecurity companies, cognitive neuroscientists, notable Bellingcat members, even a fucking public sector intelligence agency employee following the project and interested in what I was building for fun.
