crash out

to cash out

Bonjour,

Happy Valentines Day. Some may say this is the vibe:

Speaking of Vday, we went hard (and soft), be sure to check it out. 

Don’t forget to RSVP for all of our IRL happenings later this month:

BTW did you see how much we love Polygon?

It’s crash out week here at the Great British Bake Off on the timeline!

It feels as though every time I click the X app, a new crop of people are publicly losing it. If the other side of the phone could see me, it would look something like….

I’m choosing to believe that the crash out that kicked things off was a viral video of a man named Montoya, who thrice allowed himself to be publicly humiliated on Temptation Island Spain. Por favor Montoya is now shorthand for watching your girlfriend cheat on you three times. Lo siento, mi amor.

Crash out exhibit B: Crypto’s leading man made this hilarious joke.

Which left most of us feeling like.

Ye had a totally predictable, Elon-baiting tweet storm that made me wish I couldn’t read.

Even the bots of BlueSky are picking arguments with each other just to feel something.

The only person who doesn’t seem to be crashing out is the king of crashing out himself, Pete Davidson—which, for some reason, the rest of us mentally ill folks can’t seem to handle. We are looking to address this internally.

Someone somewhere might say it’s the stars, winter, or some gravitational moon cycle pulling us all into the crazy, but my hypothesis is that in an attention economy, crashing out has never been easier to commodify.

If the crash out is enviable, you might as well make it make some money for you.
