Balanced read: major operator behind Meta's ad business growth, with persistent criticism over platform governance and discovery conduct.
I spent the day in a real-time swing between hate, correction, relapse, and moral panic, with the page showing me arguing against my worst impulses even while still inside them.
I stayed trapped between Watchmen, Brave New World, PTSD flashbacks, business pressure, and active self-censorship, so the whole day reads like me trying to contain my own mind in real time.
The day was a volatile pile of notes about Palestine, Zoroastrian grievance, family money, revenge, coercion, identity hatred, and fantasies of control, which is why it feels less like a diary and more like a raw danger dump.
The day was dominated by an islandwide power cut, retention worries, hiring, and messy internal deal politics, with me trying to hold the company together while recalculating loyalty, commissions, and who still mattered.
Recommendation pressure, Masonic notes, brisket-build plans, painting obsession, and hard family anger all ran together, making the day feel rich with ideas but much darker underneath.
I was burned out, drinking, and still pushing myself to think ahead, moving between stress, ambition, and the feeling that I had to keep producing even while depleted.
