Demi Adejuyigbe Thinks You Ought to Solely Post 3 Times a Day

Demi Adejuyigbe desires government-mandated dance courses for all males—or so he advised Kareem Rahma on Subway Takes. It’s onerous to not like the concept of a world the place everybody boogies as onerous because the comic does, whether or not in his iconic sequence of annual music movies set to Earth, Wind & Fire’s “September” or the absurd musical numbers from his celebrated one-man reveals. (The title of his Edinburgh Fringe debut marketed that he would additionally do a backflip on stage). Between his numerous pursuits as a Twenty first-century renaissance man, together with DJ units, TV writing, podcasting, and movie images, Adejuyigbe one way or the other finds time to answer to each textual content and to analysis visible results in films. Like LeBron James in his favourite meme, he’s really “smiling through it all.”

Phone mannequin: iPhone 17e

Phone alarm: Radial

It’s a really default one. I simply want one thing that’s not going to sound like anything. I don’t do a customized tone, as a result of I really feel like I might very merely simply be like, “Oh, it’s this song,” however I want one thing that might be annoying in a short time.

Computer mannequin: MacBook Pro 14-inch

Daily common display time: 9 hours

I get notifications for it, and I’m all the time like, “That’s none of my business.” I’m on my cellphone lots. I exploit my cellphone in my present. I document issues.

Music app: Apple Music

It was revealed that the CEO [of Spotify] was [investing in] AI firms and army contractors, and that was the final straw. I frequently hear about how unhealthy Spotify is, and I’ve so many musician mates who’re identical to, “The residuals suck.” It’s not an excellent one to make use of when you assist musicians. So I used to be identical to, “Fuck it, I’m going to switch.” And after they have been doing ICE advertisements, I used to be like, “Yeah, let’s get off this.”

I missed the UI a lot however I’ve gotten used to Apple Music a lot now that it simply feels form of just like the lesser of two evils. Not like Apple’s an excellent firm, however you understand.

Number of unacknowledged …

Emails: 72

I’m truly unhealthy at answering emails however my unread rely isn’t loopy as a result of it’s all the time purposeful: “I want this to be unread until I’ve responded, until I’ve marked it.” And I get very anxious typically after I get an e-mail, even when it’s one thing from a particular particular person or one thing I’m ready on. I’m like, “I’m not in the place to answer that right now,” after which it simply falls down the checklist.

Texts: 0

I’m superb at responding to texts, particularly as a result of why fake I’m not on my cellphone on a regular basis? When I see the textual content, I’ll reply to it. If I ever have a excessive rely of unread texts, I simply acquired out of a film and the group chat has been speaking about one thing.

Last content material binge: Reel Talk Show

It’s an Instagram recreation present that popped up for me a few days in the past. Someone asks folks on the road to guess sure films by audio enjoying from the films, and I watched like 20 of these in a row.

Rule of thumb for replying on social media:

I’ll remark if it’s by a pal and I do know the remark might be useful for the algorithm or no matter. In basic, I see it like I’m on the zoo—I don’t have to work together with that. It’s only a factor that I get pleasure from, after which I stroll away.

Also, if I remark and folks reply to me, I’ll get notifications and I’ll be irritated, so I largely simply reply if it’s one thing that I feel is useful or constructive or they are going to be joyful to see. If it’s a stranger, I virtually by no means remark as a result of who’s that for? Unless, once more, it’s actually humorous and I simply need to write “hahahaha.”

Frequency of DM slides: Quarterly (when single)

Almost by no means. When I used to be single I’d attempt DM sliding as soon as each quarter. But really I’ve to have one thing to speak about, I’ve to have some cause to imagine that they’d be receptive: We comply with one another and have probably not interacted, or I’ve one thing intelligent to say about one thing they stated to me. Because there have been occasions the place I’d attempt to slide into somebody’s DMs with nothing, and I’d make a joke, after which I’d be like, “All right, well, I’m out of stuff now. I didn’t try very hard, but I’m done.” I’m not making an attempt to ascertain myself as somebody with a popularity for doing this however I feel it’s positive.

Last Google search: Engelbert Humperdinck

I noticed a Reddit thread about what superstar you have been shocked to search out wasn’t utilizing their actual title. Someone stated Engelbert Humperdinck, and I used to be like, what’s his actual title? And it’s Arnold Dorsey.

Last picture taken:

I went to my pal Sophie’s present tonight, and every time I am going to a present, I’ll take a photograph so I can submit about it. This is a present I’ve seen earlier than, in Melbourne, and I noticed it once more in Edinburgh as a result of it was a extra completed model, and he or she requested me to have a bit walk-on cameo on the finish. I took a photograph of her from the aspect of the stage, like a proud mother.

Last screenshots: Ticket to a Patti Harrison present (cellphone) and a playlist sorted by recognition of track (laptop computer)

My final screenshot on my cellphone was my ticket to Patti Harrison’s present, like two days in the past. My final screenshot on my laptop computer was an organized checklist of music; there’s an internet site referred to as Organized Playlist, and if in case you have a hyperlink to your Spotify playlist or no matter, you will be like, “OK, I want it to be alphabetical. I want it to be organized by genre. I want it to be organized by year.” I used to be getting ready to make a mashup megamix for a celebration that I used to be DJing, and I set it to be organized by recognition to see which songs folks would acknowledge. In the screenshot, the most well-liked track is “Set Fire to the Rain” by Adele, and the least widespread is “Attention” by Charlie Puth.

Top three emojis: 😎❤️🙄

I exploit the sun shades and the attention roll lots. Heart emoji as a result of I really like to point out love. I really feel like I solely use the eye-rolling emoji mockingly, after I’m saying one thing that’s very silly and pretending it’s like, “Everyone should know that.”

Social community you simply can’t give up: X

I need to burn it to the bottom. I feel it’s terrible. I feel everybody on there may be actually unhealthy, myself included. It’s like one in each thousand posts is the factor that makes you go, “Oh, that’s fun, that’s funny, that’s nice.” I feel all of us have an habit that may solely be solved by somebody taking an axe to the Twitter servers.

It simply feels actually, actually darkish. I all the time say that the one repair for that web site, in need of an outage, is everybody being allowed to tweet precisely 3 times a day, and then you definately can be very particular about what you’re saying and never simply choose fights with folks or enhance issues by quote-tweeting it simply to say it’s silly.

People say, “Well, go to Bluesky.” I’m like, “You don’t really understand. It’s not that I want a replacement. I want to not do it at all.” I’m not like, “Oh, I miss posting.” I don’t need to submit. It’s like I acquired hooked on cigarettes after I was younger, and now I maintain smoking cigarettes and, effectively, you possibly can attempt vaping? That’s not the factor. It needs to be banned.

News supply: X and Reddit

Oh boy, X, which is among the worst causes that I feel I keep on it. X or Reddit, each of them not nice, nevertheless it’s simply straightforward as a result of it appears like my life is already condensed into attending these locations recurrently, so I don’t should go outdoors and ask, “What other things should I be aware of?” Outside of that, I’m probably not good at actively looking for information, vastly to my detriment. I acknowledge that getting your information via an algorithm that’s tailor-made to you is a extremely good technique to keep very insular in what you understand.

Favorite subreddit: r/films

I actually just like the film subreddit. With each subreddit, once more, it’s just like the zoo, I’m not desiring to work together. I don’t truly need to be part of the neighborhood. People will submit trailers, and I don’t wanna watch the trailer, however I perceive now the trailer is out. Or I’ll simply see bulletins for issues.

I actually just like the Oscars race subreddit [r/oscarrace] as a result of it’s simply enjoyable to see what persons are arguing about. I particularly prefer it when it’s to date forward of time, as a result of I’m simply watching, going, “You guys are insane, and this is way too early,” however I personally do just like the Oscars and care about it. So because it will get nearer it’s good to see updates—“Oh, this didn’t do well at Cannes. This is doing well at Venice, blah blah blah.” It’s good to really feel like I’m staying in contact with that even outdoors of the Oscars season. But I do assume it’s enjoyable to observe from a distance actually early within the 12 months. It’s enjoyable to observe everybody struggle and assume, “I care a lot about this, but not in the way that you do, and it makes me feel better about myself.”

Favorite tech product: Canon EOS-1N (changed 3 times to date)

I carry my digital camera in all places. It’s a digital camera that has damaged many occasions, and I’ll simply exchange it and get the very same one. It’s a Canon EOS-1N, a movie digital camera from Japan. I simply adore it as a result of it’s a movie digital camera, nevertheless it’s digital sufficient that it has autofocus and nice settings and I’m so snug with that. When it breaks down—as a result of they’re all previous and the batteries die they usually have issues—I might get a brand new one or a extra up to date one, however I like this one a lot I’ll simply go and get it once more.

Favorite meme: LeBron James “Smiling through it all” or Nathan Fielder’s “What that means”

It’s humorous, my pal was complaining about guys on courting apps asking about her favourite meme. I feel that looks like a positive query; he’s simply making an attempt to bond. She then requested me to explain my favourite memes and I actually didn’t reply.

My favourite one is the LeBron James “Smiling through it all,” the place he’s within the pool—yeah, I feel that one’s so humorous.
