for about a year now i've been Obsessed with figuring out how to adapt House of Leaves to a digital medium, mostly because 1) "that sign won't stop me, i can't read" and 2) there are actually quite a few ppl who have Difficulty Reading that i believe could find great value in a reformatted HoL

Chris Winger has less than 5k subscribers, but he's got that good energy in his videos.

i love being a watcher of the majority report because youtube will put a video in my feed with the title of "MR FUN! :)" "FUNDAY MONDAY" meanwhile the thumbnail features two of the most exhausted human beings to ever film themselves talking about politics

its wild how much local LA news is fixated on the threat of looting even though it was like single digit arrests. if you're looking for a juicy story about loss of personal property, might i suggest the devastating inferno

i think my favorite thing abt House of Leaves has become the.... depth of Articulation that the text continues to demonstrate to me. nostalgia has to be doing some heavy lifting;i didn't read it til early this year but the House might as well be Echidna to contemporary liminal space

today's a good day to learn that the US has multiple FAA certified UAS testing sites specifically geared toward research into Beyond Visual Line Of Site operations testing and airspace integration. all that new york stuff is definitely aliens though
