I was recently at a conference and no less than four of the presenters used the term “ladder up” as some kind of fancy buzzword bingo for ramping things up. At least I think that’s what they meant. At the end of the day. Bigger picture. Ripple effect. Halo effect. 360 degree view. These and other “make me sound smart” lines of bullshit spew forth from the mouths of marketing execs like verbal diarrea on steroids.

Shut. The Fuck. Up.

Thank you, Adobe.

Psychology says people over 60 who still play CDs aren’t resisting technology — they’re protecting a ritual that required intention and commitment and the act of holding an album and choosing it is a ceremony that streaming destroyed by making every song equally weightless and their refusal to let go is a refusal to let music become background noise in a life where too much is already disappearing

I’m 37 and I’ve noticed that whenever there’s a crisis everyone turns to me like I have answers – and the hardest part isn’t solving the problem, it’s that nobody ever asks if I’m okay because they need me to be the steady one and I’ve forgotten how to be anything else

I’m 73 and I keep the television on from six in the morning until I fall asleep — not because I’m watching it, but because the sound of other people talking fills the exact shape of the silence my family left when they stopped needing this house, and some mornings a commercial says “good morning” before anyone real does

I’m 65 and I spent forty years believing retirement would feel like relief – instead it feels like I finally have permission to become the person I was too busy to be, and that freedom is terrifying and exhilarating in equal measure
