ABSRRD: Open Wide for the Pills of Madness

It’s Friday, and here’s your dose of absurdity. Open wide!

But before I drop the pills of madness, I first want to thank you for NOT unsubscribing or marking this newsletter as spam. That was the thing keeping me up at night. Second, this whole ABSRRD brand is so nonsensical that it has literally changed my entire internet experience. It is my hope that it changes yours as well. In a world where hate thrives on socials, we need to oil up with strange and positive tomfoolery to let those negative energies slip off. This newsletter is a good start. K

I mentioned in my first post that there’s a purpose to the chaotic creations which I feel will improve over time. Unfortunately for us, I’m only one man wearing 12 hats and listening to six uniquely personalized voices (in my head). I know I’m operating at a snail’s pace and have yet to reach my final form. But there’s a foundation to cement if we want to do this right! So, polar bear with me.

Ok, now the actual newsletter…

It’s my absurd duty to remind you that the world wants you to play small. The system is built to reward you to stay put, be normal, and live forever ordinary. Nope. We escape the ordinary and own the nonsense. We lean into the mystery of the weird with the extraordinary conviction that, "the most authentic and unapologetic me is where the magic is!" This is the ABSRRD ethos. Being yourself gives the highest returns. Being absurd is a bonus payout.

It’s been a massive week. Between taking a stand against the anti-AI crowd and watching the tech move at warp speed ( Seedance 2 anyone?). Ok, I’ve put together some fun clips I can’t wait to show you. Ready? Let’s dive in.

Here are a few works I think you’ll find appropriately absurd and/or inspiring.
