ROOM 33

it's so wild to me that you absolutely cannot force a hyperfixation to happen. like you'll watch the most perfectly tailor-made-for-you content that everyone says you'll love and feel absolutely nothing, and then the thing you watch on a whim to fill time will reach through the screen and put its damn fingers in your brain and start rearranging the neurons right in front of you and every single time you're like THIS??? THIS??????? and this happens like every 6-12 months forever

Also feeling very validated that the book's acknowledgements just outright say that the whole Preservation Board subplot was inspired by reading too many news stories about people abusing environmental impact assessment litigation.

let the contemporary record show mr beast was pretty ignorable for his whole career if you were just like, busy.
