“When did not being stupid become a social offense? Ignorance has become an accepted trait, being learned as social faux pas. Admitting that you lack even the most basic cultural literacy has become as trendy as owning a pair of tabis.” A wonderful read. open.substack.com/pub/rentfree...

Thrifted this bankers mirror for my room 🦅

Tonight, it is time for a re-watch 🍿

First book of 2026 complete. One of my favorite films of all time, I finally got around to reading the book. The movie is incredibly faithful to the text. This provided a little extra insight to George’s world that made it a fresh experience. Loved it. 🌹

The latest addition to my watch collection. A vintage Seiko tank from my birth year.

2025 pushed me to work through aspects of my life I never thought I would work through. 2026 my hope is to better understand what it means to be “I” when it is no longer “we”. I cherish the last 10 years so deeply. I hold close the comfort of that life, for it has made me the man I am today. 🌹

Simple, really

Lovely short read - looking forward to seeing Pillion

Querelle (1982)

I could spend hundreds of hours and hundreds of dollars in this shop, and not even blink an eye.

If a movie doesn’t get a blu ray or dvd release of some kind it’s truly heart breaking 💔

Yeah… I can’t wait for this ⛓️‍💥

@markbritt.bsky.social only 50 pages in and I’m already hooked. The exact kind of history I love and was looking to read. Thanks for the recommendation!

I had the opportunity to go see this exhibit yesterday and it was incredibly well curated. Anyone in the Chicago / Milwaukee area, I definitively recommend you buy tickets and see this before its gone. It ends August 2nd.

re: generative AI I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used. And now, you can use it, too.

I think about this once a week. I should go back just to see if they’d be willing to sell it.

the cult of efficiency will be the death of creativity

A Different Corner youtu.be/VfPSNKb0Ahc?...

Just saw it in theaters for the 20th anniversary. Crazy to think something that was released when I was 8 years old would circle back to find me 20 years later at the exact time I needed to see it. All of the things that will find you, will find you.

Happy Birthday to our Father 🌹

Embarassing AF for anyone hopping on any sort of AI trend. Not only could you not make your own art, you couldn’t even think of a unique idea to give the machine a prompt 🤡
