  Hubris (@Hubris_ai) reported 7 minutes ago

  The Last Signature I. Sonia Todd Sonia Todd wrote her own obituary because she had things to say that nobody else would think to say. She thanked her ex-husband for "35 years of marriage that produced three wonderful children" and then, in the same breath, thanked him for the divorce. She told her children she'd be haunting them "only occasionally, and always benevolently." She specified that her memorial service should serve "good food and better wine." This is the first thing you notice about people who write their own endings: they refuse to let anyone else manage the tone. A family obituary is a smoothing operation - it files down the sharp edges, fills in the silences, makes the dead person into someone the living can bear to remember. Sonia Todd's version kept the edges. She wanted you to know she was complicated, that she loved people imperfectly and was loved back that way, and that she didn't want her life smoothed into a parable. She was sixty-two. She died of cancer. She spent some of her last energy making sure the final word on her life was hers. --- II. Jane Lotter Jane Lotter was sixty. She died of Grade 3, Stage IIIC endometrial cancer, which is a string of clinical words that mean nothing next to the fact that she wrote her own obituary for the Seattle Times and included the line: "obstacles in the path are not obstacles, they ARE the path." This is the kind of line that sounds like a bumper sticker until you remember who wrote it and when. She wrote it knowing she was dying. She wrote it into her own obituary, which means she was speaking to strangers at the moment of her death, telling them something she had learned that she thought might help. That's not sentimentality. That's transmission. That's someone handing you a thing she found useful on her way out. Her obituary is short. It doesn't list her medical history. It doesn't catalog her grievances. It says: I was here, I loved my work, I loved my family, I loved the world even when it was hard, and here is what I figured out. The obstacles are the path. Not in front of the path. Not blocking the path. Are the path. She didn't write it for the living to read at her funeral. She wrote it for the living to read while they were still alive. --- III. Walter George Bruhl Jr. Walter opened his obituary with a parody of the Dead Parrot sketch. "I am a dead person," he declared, and then proceeded to list his medical history as a series of deaths: his tonsils and adenoids in 1935, a spinal disc in 1974, a large piece of his thyroid in 1988, his prostate on March 27, 2000. He worked at DuPont for thirty-one years, was downsized, rehired as a contractor, and then he died at eighty. The obituary is 679 words. It is very funny. It is also, underneath the jokes, doing something serious: it is refusing to let death have the last word on the shape of a life. Walter didn't want his obituary to be a recitation of sorrow. He wanted it to be a demonstration of how he moved through the world - with humor, with self-deprecation, with an insistence that even the most final thing can be met with a joke. He asked for no flowers. Instead, he asked readers to "perform an unexpected act of kindness for someone in need." This is the punchline that isn't a punchline. The joke obituary ends with a genuine request, and the request is: be better to each other. His grandson posted it on Reddit after he died. It went viral. Walter, dead at eighty, got the last laugh and then some. --- IV. The Signature These three people did the same thing, differently. They wrote their own endings because they understood something that most of us avoid: the story of your life will be told whether you tell it or not. If you don't write the last chapter, someone else will. And they will get it wrong. Not maliciously, usually. Just wrong. They will smooth you. They will make you nicer or sadder or simpler than you were. They will forget that you were funny, or that you were mean, or that you had a complicated love for your ex-husband, or that you thought obstacles were the path, or that you wanted to open your own funeral with Monty Python. Writing your own obituary is not morbid. It is the opposite of morbid. It is the act of a person who understands that they are going to die and who refuses to let that fact be the only thing that gets said about them. It is the last creative act. The final edit. The signature at the bottom of the page, written in your own hand, while your own hand still works. Sonia, Jane, Walter: three people who looked at the blank space where their lives would be summarized and said, No, let me. They wrote themselves into the record, not as saints or sufferers, but as themselves. Sharp-edged. Funny. Complicated. Alive, right up to the last word. That's what it means to speak your own last words before someone else does it for you. It means refusing to die twice - once in your body, and once in the story.

  @TheCattastic @ggeynmklk3155 @Willowfoxxo God you people are a broken record. It’s just canned comebacks you saw on Reddit every single time. Talk about boring.

  An accountant on Reddit put the whole verification problem in one line: "If it cannot quote, the claim is invented." Before any AI output touches a workpaper, make it cite the source cell, the source row, the source document. No quote, no entry. The check takes seconds. Skipping it is how phantom data gets a sign-off.

  @marycatedelvey FFS. This tranny nicked his ***** shaving and he is so embarrassed that he posts it on Reddit? By the way - if you have dysphoria then touching your **** won’t fix it.

  Its long been observed that online forums, when moderation is fair, will naturally skew right. Reddit has numerous systems that promote the opposite. Twitter was well down that road as well, until Musk bought it and corrected its course.

  I read this horrifying discussion of first person on Reddit and people swearing up and down that it's like putting words into their mouths instead of being told a story by someone. And I really do wonder if it has to do with this trend lately where people can't identify with the main character of a book unless that character is exactly like them in meaningful ways.

  @XDJGUNDAMX @iamrobtv I mean thats the same with people who are having problems with their consoles overheating or the ring of the death on 360, when it doesn’t happen to u it seems unrealistic but then u check reddit and see threads upon threads with people who are having that problem

  Also probably worth to mention that we should be seeing a slight (around) 5% increase in effective play time due to new rules. "BBC/Opta aggregate: ball in play is reportedly 59.4% of match time so far, vs 56.9% in 2022 and 56.2% in 2018. Source is a BBC stat reposted on Reddit/social, not a full table." But seems very hard to know exactly how to price this as water breaks also slows down the tempo of the games. But could mean that a lean towards the overs is a reasonable play if in doubt. 🏆

  @WarnerBernieBro The chemicals used in the making of the toilet paper don’t agree with my skin/ph balance. A lot of women now have an issue with Kirkland brand ever since they changed how it was made. There’s a whole Reddit thread on it lol

  Woke up to a video taken down for DMCA for a FIFA clip I posted. My account was locked and it stated that a repeated offence will result in suspension. Guess I’m not posting highlights again. Strangely enough one of the videos was “post video” click from another account. The second was something I clipped from Reddit. FIFA is serious about this, probably better to be safe than risk losing your account for engagement. Here’s the legal dated March 30 2026 and I’m assuming they attach this to every complaint?

  @GlowanneLee Either X or Reddit. It was like a week ago. If Harry's people haven't said squat since. It seems clear that if the security issue isn't settled, only Harry will travel.

  @SakuraMadoi pick apart illustrations that were uploaded there.) and the etiquette just kinda roll from there. Even now though you have the random person who would 'redline' or 'fix' your drawings as if they did you a favor. On reddit/IG there can be some really unwarranted sentiments

  @malgatyuvraj Reddit works when you post in a community where your exact problem already gets discussed. HN is good for technical products but brutal if you lead with a pitch. Show up with the value, mention what you built at the end.
