I make things because I can be honest and nuanced and messy through the things I make. It’s for my own self expression and sometimes if I’m lucky, it’s to feel seen and to connect with the audience. And other times, I also make things for money and recognition when it’s necessary.

Oh, have I got something that reflects what you’re talking about. God bless you, South Korean Bootleg Knockoff Media.

Started lifting weights. It has its ups and downs.

On this beautiful morning in Astoria, I cast my ballot for our city and our future. I hope you will too.

Everyone bully me for still not being done with the Strahd + Spelljammer mash-up that I brazenly said was “coming 2024”

if lore is to be believed, fred astaire used to dance and glide around his tailor's workshop before taking a suit home to make sure the collar always stayed glued to his neck

I ditched it & did this research recently. Even Apple gives more money to the artists. Spotify is literally the bottom level.

Part of an absolutely stunning thread by @dieworkwear.bsky.social that covers the Battle of Blair Mountain (largest labor uprising in US history), The International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union, the book Bowling Alone and an appearance of @unitehere.org

If you can time your jumps perfectly and wedge a turtle shell against the stairs, the number of innings glitch out and become symbols instead

In Die Another Day, a mirrored satellite for “agricultural development” is actually a space laser that melts Iceland and then targets South Korea it’s built by a North Korean general who (lol) uses gene therapy to become a white billionaire The satellite is named Icarus

the day that society at large understands that testosterone and estrogen are necessary hormones in your body regardless of your sex, and that hormone supplementation is a health question rather than a loaded emotional question, will be one of the greatest days in human history.

Steve from Blues Clues (who did a pretty good rock album with the Flaming Lips by the way) vastly underestimates the dirty talk power he could hold over millennials

School has completely on accident started training kids for email jobs because the people who design or buy the software all have email jobs and think of kids as “users”

This hits a lot of the notes I've been shouting from the rooftops: the frictionlessness of both producing and consuming slop, and the value of labor as friction that lets us slow down and think. Rather than "unlocking creativity" it's rendering our collective creativity down into a big vat of slop.

Zohran Mamdani is a trained performer who has an extremely disciplined and laser-focused ability to recite on-message talking points in response to any question, and yet voters overwhelming praise him as being especially "authentic" compared to other politicians. There's a lesson here!

WHEN THERE’S TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Oh wow. Yes, very clever! Waterfall treasure! No one’s ever done that before. Lazy jackass WHEN THERE’S NO TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Wow. Too stuck-up to put treasure there huh? Too much of a fucking ICONOCLAST for that? Piece of shit. FUCK you

REI easily top of the list of companies most likely to do a land acknowledgement before layoffs

someone in a podcast I listened to today said like "all the developers that worked on legendary games in the 90s would never be able to get into the industry today" and I think that might be entirely accurate

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down. All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown. So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

Hegseth: The military is for killing people and breaking things. No more rules of engagement. Trump: I’ll be sending the military into U.S. cities.

FINAL FANTASY TACTICS SQUARE 1998 PLAYSTATION

Thinking about that Miyazaki quote about creators of anime nowadays being primarily people who just watch anime and not getting external influences outside of anime in comparison to Uematsu growing up deeply on prog, psychedelic, and electronic music.

Hear me out: a Moby Dick adaptation, shot like the Office, but it imperceptibly slips toward found-footage horror over the course of ten seasons

Do you think they’ll start calling themselves the Tylenots?

never thought I would find a Bioshock Infinite / Royal Tenenbaums overlap

One thing that isn’t remarked upon enough is that Gunn making a hit with Superman, and running DC, is a decisive victory against Gamergate-style bad faith attacks from the right. It can be done, and it should be noted, and celebrated as such.

A program in Flint, MI, gave $1,500 to any/all pregnant people and $500/month for the first year of their infant’s life. Among the benefits, those babies experienced lower rates of prematurity and low birth weight, which resulted in fewer NICU admissions, saving the city of Flint $6.2 million/year.

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

I feel like I am taking crazy pills. Charlie Kirk’s ultimate goal, which he said time and time again, would have been the suppression, through threat of violence and the use of state power, of the rights of those he disagreed with, including freedom of expression. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/o...
