I’m editing the final episode of Pursuit of Perfectness, and amidst all the bitter sweet emotions, all I keep hearing in my head is Scott Aukerman saying, “The world’s first dingless podcast.” Not relevant, and not something I heard recently. A real mental barnacle.

Went to the Museum of the Moving Image with my friend Lindsay yesterday, and got to meet a lovely new person, Janice, through the Open Streets. We got Susuru Ramen. A+, no notes.

Kitty cuddle season continues. 🐱

A well written, interesting article from Emily Gorcenski arguing that conceiving of the truth as a process instead of a fixed point is anti-fascist. You’ll need to read to the end to see the whole arc.

…the American right cannot be engaged as an intellectual exercise. They are not opponents in a game of chess playing by accepted rules. They are seeking to define the colors of the squares and the rules by which the pieces move. While you’re playing the board, they’re playing the rulebook.

There’s terror spilling over the brim of this galaxy. Alien meets Jacob’s ladder. Pre Freddy Kruger Robert Englund fights himself. The mom from twin peaks is a crazed captain.

What a bunch of silly gooses.

I’m running an in person workshop to help empower folks to better understand the internet by building it. If you live in the NYC metro area, I’d love to see you at You Own the Internet.

Started reading: Sure, I’ll Join Your Cult by Maria Bamford 📚

A very light reading year for me, at least for books. Something I’d like to improve on in 3025. Here are the books I finished reading in 2024. Read more

Sitting around listening to records and reading. I can’t think of a better way to spend New Year’s Day.

A treasure trove of works just entered the public domain. Can’t wait to see what artists do with it.

Happy new year everyone. Deep breath.

Proof that horror movies were about trauma before 2010. Also Santa will kick your fucking ass.
