Notes from the Post-it Wall | Week of October 6, 2024

By David Himmel

• Once you’ve had sex with someone, you can piss them off with the comfort that they’ll put up with you a little bit longer.

• 9/11 is Modern America’s childhood trauma. January 6th is its teenage boyfriend drunkenly dying while jumping into a pool from a roof at an unsupervised house party.

• Why, when I wake up three hours before my alarm, I’m ready to fuck, fight, and fix the world’s problems? But when my alarm goes off, it’s a struggle to lift my eyelid?

• AI is simple. Write it a creative brief. If you use AI to write a creative brief, you need a different job.

• Sex is good, It’s just so expensive. Oh, stop, I’m not talking about monetarily. But, yes, it’s expensive that way, too.

• Ennui sounds cute and romantic because it’s French. But the French have a long history of violence and rape, and ennui may well have been the catalyst to most of it.
