LOL. This was so funny, OMG, thank you, Celeste! As a solopreneur (or rather soloprenerd!) I love the Star Trek reference (many a fond memory of watching Star Trek TOS and The Twilight Zone with the family), but felt a little attacked at the tech bro way of trying to make us all entrepreneurs par excellence. It's wild that having a job is something that is becoming more and more seen as the wrong thing to do, despite the infinite economic security and mental wellbeing that an inclusive and normal work environment gives to anyone who has ever worked in one. I went off on a poster on LinkedIn for posting what I see are fraudulent claims of "making $1M ARR with a simple ChatGPT prompt" and then immediately thought, "E tu, Brutus?" because I love vibe coding. Great take!
Cognitive Dissonance abounds with the age of AI. I love the tech and use it liberally, but no other technology in history has had so much potential and, in equal measure so much risk. I mostly can't help rail on the tone deafness and jackassery of The Tech Bros. They are shaping society in profound ways. I love your quote, Christine: "It's wild that having a job is something that is becoming more and more seen as the wrong thing to do, despite the infinite economic security and mental wellbeing that an inclusive and normal work environment gives to anyone who has ever worked in one."
The implication is that anyone who wants a traditional employee/employer relationship and finds meaningful work while collecting a paycheck is a pathetically incompetent degenerate living in the Stone Age.
Hilarious, and Urine Luck is brilliant! Love the Star Trek quote too.
Thanks Rosana. My husband has taken little interest in my Substack, but I really got his attention quoting the ORIGINAL Star Trek!
Love it — and what a coincidence, check out the comment my husband made today on my post: https://flowerchild.substack.com/p/what-rats-can-teach-us-about-anticipation/comment/129002087

Hilarious! Smart writing as ever!
Love this!
Guess who will get your tees and undees made for you? Brilliant!! How about some custom silicone ice cube trays for that pee?!!!!
I’m really feeling we can have a whole line of products. Really, the possibilities are endless.

I will reserve some Urine Luck Tees & undies for you and your family. I also think they will make wonderful client gifts and don’t forget Christmas !
