I've been loving these books and this is an amazing way too pick them all up in one go.

This is a weird-ass band (drums and sax?), but it's hard to argue with their cover of Suicide's "Ghost Rider"

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

Are there any terrestrial radio apps for iOS that aren't scummy?

I probably don’t need to hype it up, but Frankenstein is definitely worth a watch. Performances, costumes, sets, and effects are all on point. It’s a triumph.

The new Lemonheads album is surprisingly listenable. #nowPlaying

Best cartoon of the week for movie nerds.

Goddamn if this Real Farmer album isn't one of my favorite of the year. It's just been on repeat since I discovered it by total accident. youtu.be/hxnDz3TXPnE... #punk #hardcore #nowplaying

Peter Fischli, David Weiss, Things from the Room in the Back, 1999-2000 https://botfrens.com/collections/14377/contents/1136886

I keep trying to get it, but I don't understand the appeal of Geese (the band).

My daughter (8) legitimately beat me at a board game. No handicap or going easy on her. I couldn't be more proud.

This new Bass Drum of Death album is pretty fantastic. I'm excited that I get to see them on Friday. open.spotify.com/album/5JWyei...

It dawned on me that I should be be sharing out the accessibility articles I link to at work on social media. Here's a good one from today's RSS feed: www.a11y-collective.com/blog/nvda-ke...

I find it really curious that the strategy of every AI-enabled web browser seems to be targeting students. Sure they graduate and become really adopters at a company, but that's a pretty dicey longshot.

One of those weekends where my kids have me looking forward to Monday.

I'm giving this music social network, Airbuds, a spin. It's a layer on top of streaming apps. Here's an invite if your interested in being music friends: i.airbuds.fm/irafcummings...

Connecticut is the most liminal state.

"political violence is never acceptable," is a phrase you don't hear politicians say after cops beat the shit out of peaceful demonstrators

One of the coolest things about witnessing Turnstile’s rise has been watching the band play music intended for a specific context in new situations www.stereogum.com/2322457/turn...

I hope that with the success of Silksong, Team Cherry will at last have the finances to make the next game a 3D platformer

It bums me out that the new Wet Leg album is so completely mid

👋🏻❤️ I just wrapped a project with a lovely client, and I’m thinking about what’s next. So! I’ve got availability for new work starting in October 2025. Spiffed up the ol’ portfolio a bit to showcase some past projects, and to talk about the work I do: ethanmarcotte.com/work/

(I’m also open to discussing full-time roles, if the opportunity’s right.) If you’d like to work together, send me an email; I’d love to hear what’s on your mind! ethanmarcotte.com/contact/

I commuted to an office today and it was weird.

Let's check out this new Wet Leg album…

How Figma is shaping the way we design: designsystems.international/ideas/when-f...

That run this evening just zapped the energy out of me. Just reinforcing my belief that running sucks.

A fave YouTube channel is coming out with a book version this fall: Great Art Explained. “It is how you view the work, place it in context, and understand its history that makes an artwork truly come alive.” [kottke.org]

I've never had a chance to see Chat Pile live, so their set from Hellfest this year is extra fantastic: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdIJ...

The budget for the independent office that makes sure our military’s urgently needed equipment is safe & effective has been slashed by almost 80% thanks to Pete Hegseth. This decision will cost service members’ lives & waste taxpayer dollars. I’m pushing for answers.

Tesla cars are designed to turn off its self-driving mode less than a second before a crash, so Tesla can claim that the car was not operating in self-driving mode when it crashed. Musk is evil. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

HOLY SHIT I just realized that I could customize the app bar for the Notes.app (macOS) which lets fix some of the nonsensical UI!

Parasite becomes aggressive. Sure all the musicians looking at our £0.0003 Spotify payouts for our work are delighted this is what our fans’ money went towards instead, and the fans equally pleased. Artists are always very in favour of war, traditionally.

I wrote and published a blog post this week. Everything took a lot of time and was probably harder than it should've been, but I feel good about it.
