Things are getting serious if you're pulling Bringhurst off the shelf.

The only problem with hearing a Cranberries song is best of luck to you clearing the ear worm.

Had never seen this 1984 FZ interview. He’s pretty hostile, prob because MTV, possibly also because interviewer is a woman. Gets looser halfway through. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0Kp...

More of this, please.

Big fan of cooperatives!

I have always loved Bread & Puppet. This 45-min doc showing online tomorrow is part of a larger film in progress (breadandpuppetmovie.allyrafundraising.com).

TIL, in Danish the word “gift” means both “marriage” and “poison”!!

My biggest conspiracy theory is that telling working class people that engagement in the arts is a middle / upper class thing and to do so makes you a class traitor is a psyop to make them disengaged with themselves and the world and the beauty of being human, so that they accept worse treatment.

A portable arcade machine in the shape of a foldable metal 'briefcase' design with an integrated 14-inch IPS high-definition screen. Pre-loaded with tons of retro emulation games, it's controlled by an arcade-style 8-way joystick. (Probably not the latest thing but it looks interesting 😬) #gaming

Nine academic articles in the brand new Journal of Taylor Swift Studies. But of an odd format — the abstracts are on the html pages but not in the pdfs. orb.binghamton.edu/jotss/

Love this post on Mac vs iPad. craigmod.com/essays/ipad_...

Love me some pattern based music theory (free pdf). www.mugglinworks.com/chordmaps/Ch...

I’m surprised The Onion is going so hard about InfoWars before the judge has approved the deal.

'Marijuana' is the only English word in which the 'j' is silent.

Buckle up. (Gift link.) www.nytimes.com/2026/04/20/w...

stellar new issue of grateful dead studies. esp. adored the late dennis rothermel's deep look at jerry garcia's long attempt to make a movie of kurt vonnegut's "sirens of titan" & deadbase cofounder mike dolgushkin reconstructing the warlocks' repertoire. free PDFs: gratefuldeadstudies.org/volume-6/

I got your psy-op right here. Many people are saying this deeply underground independent record from last year could be the best thing this artist has ever done. I think his next one might be even better. Get on the bus now! jmhart.bandcamp.com/album/turned...

We call ourselves "intelligent," yet the humblest fungus can decompose waste and build soil, a tree can harness solar energy, and a wetland can purify water—all without toxic byproducts. True intelligence is learning from these systems, not bulldozing them.

Very cool textual analysis tool for the NYT. tedalcorn.github.io/nyt/

Wow, the Pope is weak on nuclear weapons. 🤣

Interesting. An international conference specifically about transitioning away from fossil fuels. This is a way for countries that get it to cooperate outside the sclerotic UNFCCC framework. Worth watching.

Life affirming. (30 min, pro-shot) www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8bX...

Strong perspective on the media manipulation soup we’re marinating in. nymag.com/intelligence...

Index cards and binder clips are my favorite office supplies.

Great vibes in this clip. www.youtube.com/live/Ca3VI4a...

This article helped inform my thinking about ways in which the shock(s) to fossil fuel dependent economies might play. I appreciated the stock/flow analysis especially.

A beautiful nine minutes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycSZ... (h/t @bourgwick.bsky.social)

Beautiful playing.

earlier this month, someone said i was going to fertilize soil, which gave me an idea for a story that i pitched to my editor. check out my mr. porter article on how to dress like a gardener! www.mrporter.com/en-us/journa...

Maple syrup under a microscope. That is why Canadians are so happy, we literally eat glitter. 😊 #Canada

Study in narcissistic hubris 101: The new White House "app" (spyware) labeled version 47.0.0 wants permission to track your location - every 4.5 minutes. Seriously. They think that passes as clever, or that it somehow 'owns the libs'. It's actually just cringe AF. Holy shit.

Sisyphus but every day he unsubscribes from marketing and promotion emails.

I made a Mac app for meal planning, especially for when you want to change how you eat. It's an old-school macOS app. No login. No cloud. Free. loveyourfoodplan.com

Looks to be an incredible Flea album dropping soon. Blown away here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNRF...

Recently, I was clued into a Dixieland Jazz band featuring a young Rob Wasserman on bass. I could find nothing beyond its mere existence, so I bought a copy and ripped it. It's good! Bourbon Street Irregulars - Let's Fly Down. Access available here: drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Building a simple macOS app without touching Xcode, praise the lord.

This is immensely sophisticated. It tells the story clearly and accurately, and in doing so invites the audience to make a lot of inferences.

A book possibly relevant to my last post. www.amazon.com/Flu-Pandemic...

“It’s just a cold.” Humans are very bad at cause and effect with a time delay.

I enjoy interviews with psychoanalysts, and this was great. Not too long. granta.com/the-orange-s...
