Opened my fortune cookie and got a message saying and I quote “you are capable, competent, creative, careful. Prove it.” Gotta say, that’s a bit offensive to say the least.

Apparently not, because one day a venture capitalist was impressed that some Twitter crypto bot reinvented tiny magazine ads, and now I get a free mobile ad with my wonton soup. Let's all go lobby for billboards in national parks. Absolutely tasteless. The cookies...
