I gave a talk at the final XOXO conference.

At first, I thought I'd revisit my first talk from ten years ago. But it turned into something different. Something about life, and art, and… McDonalds?

19 minutes. Try to go in without spoilers and watch until the end. 🙏

Nothing would make me happier 😭

this guy is posting fake, ai generated, "historical" footage of disneyland. at first glance it looks great, but it's riddled with problems (if you're me), and none of it is labeled or watermarked.

and the comments are effusive. "amazing!" "best footage i've seen!". i truly hate this at a deep level

fact: the reason we’re all “weird” and funny like this is because we all learned exactly how to deal with bullies

The attack on Portland was supposed to make the place look like a lawless hellhole. Instead, the authorities have succeeded in making it look like the most fun city in the world.

here in portland there used to be a surplus store called wacky willy’s (RIP) and it had a wall, a huge wall, of floor to ceiling teddy ruxpin in-store displays for sale, teddy and grubby in a plastic bubble. hundreds of them. i think about this weirdly often.

40 years ago this month, Teddy Ruxpin, the world-famous talking teddy bear started hitting store shelves. Highly anticipated, it would be one the hottest toys of the Christmas of 1985.

i feel like maybe we’ve outgrown “Feat.” in track titles as a helpful thing

and i think i saw signage for a sushi place (hana sushi?) somewhere in the second empty booth, so maybe it’s fast turnover!

well, let me flip that question around — what did they say that wasn't accurate?

i did my best to google a lot of totally unfamiliar terms they used, and it all seemed real — nothing seemed made up or imaginary. but i don't know much about this stuff. so maybe you caught something that i didn't!

Cabel Sasser @cabel.panic.com · 4d

what do we want! honk-shooooooooo. when do we want it? mimimimimimiiiiii

Cabel Sasser @cabel.panic.com · 4d

this is just getting better and better. man.

(strategically, it's so good, the perfect rug-pull to the painfully-manufactured 'protestors are a danger to society!' narrative. my only note is, like any good costumed performer, i firmly believe we should never see the faces of the people inside)

Things are happening at Portland's ICE facility tonight.

i’ve gotten a sharp uptick of this lately — even google making me pause before allowing me to search?! i’ve been assuming all defenses are raised due to the AI scraping epidemic 😮‍💨
