Ghost in the Shell came out 30 years ago today. Imagine having the balls to show over 3 minutes of ambient footage soundtracked by a Bulgarian choir in the middle of an action thriller.

Toad stood on his head for a long time.

Kagi is like using a search engine when they were good. Instead of slop, summaries, or ads you get links. They give you 100 free searches to try it out then $5 a month after that. (Stumbled across it in a @davidpierce.xyz article I think?) kagi.com

Talia Cotton’s studio is always doing very cool shit on the web

The bullfrog in a tweed suit whose land I live on, came by to tell me they were busy planting this year's carrots. He proudly told me he still employs two gardeners, as his father did, though "only one maid." He then observed the rising spring sun and said "it's all diminishing."

The people next to me at this coffee shop are talking about switching careers, and one asked if the other would ever go into design. Her response: “Absolutely not. Don’t even ask me that. I would rather live on the fucking street than be a graphic designer." Honestly, valid!

MENSWEAR GUY: Furthermore, you’ve neglected to even cut the vents of the shockingly poor-fitting sport coat you’ve, for some reason, chosen to wear to breakfast MAN WHO STILL WEARS A THREADLESS TEE FROM 2003 WITH TWO ANTHROPOMORPHIC HOUSES HUGGING UNDER THE TEXT “HOMIES”: haha get his ass derek
