TIL that there is a tac command that is like cat, but prints the lines in reverse. Maybe I’m uncreative, but…why?

I was finally able to get an air filter for my bedroom/office. Feels necessary living next to the BQE. Already feeling better after a few days. #whatpollution

Friday was Cat’s Cradle’s last show of the year at Player’s Theatre. Thanks to everyone who came out show after show to see us, we had an amazing run. Looking forward to next year!

An "I Voted Early NYC 2024" sticker resting on top of a wood surface, along with the vote branded pen I used.

It’s the first day of early voting in New York City, and the turnout was healthy. I waited in line about a half hour, which I was happy to do.

If you haven’t noticed, our democracy is on the ballot. Proud to have voted for Kamala Harris. 🇺🇸

I kind of like how this looks vibrant and interesting, but as you look closer you see all these gasoline-spill digital artifacts in the shadows.

I was shocked to learn that actor Ralph Fiennes first name is not only pronounced “Rayf”, but his full name is, according to Wikipedia, “Ralph Nathaniel Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes”. I didn’t know a name like that was legal outside a cartoon.

I Saw the TV Glow, 2024 - ★★★★

A person sits in the dark facing a glowing television screen, with the text I Saw the TV Glow in glowing pink at the bottom.

A remarkable neon tone poem on sadness.

Terrifier 2, 2022 - ★★★

A menacing clown looms over a scene filled with flaming pumpkins, skulls, and a winged figure in the style of a horror movie poster for Terrifier 2.

Somehow, after the first Terrifier was at best fine and at worst politically gross, this movie rules. Gone is the gender stupidity, in is the whimsy, the dreams, the characters you care about. In short, it's a real movie. And gross, but in a good way.

Terrifier, 2016 - ★½

A sinister clown with dark eyes and a menacing grin is depicted above the title Terrifier in red letters.

This is a pretty rote slasher, without much of the whimsy and humor Art the Clown would later grow. It's also incredibly misogenistic and transphobic, thanks to a few of the more elaborate kills near the end. Really inessential.

New proposal for a Turing test to detect tech bros: have a text only conversation for five minutes. If mentions of being in a simulation > 0, tech bro detected.

All Hallows' Eve, 2013 - ★

A creepy, sinister clown with dark eye makeup and sharp teeth is pictured under the title All Hallows' Eve.

This sucked, and I understand how these movies got a reputation for misogyny now. Glad Damien got better. A few good scenes but mostly pretty lame.

Saturday Night, 2024 - ★★★

A colorful caricature collage of various comedic characters and elements surrounds the text Saturday Night.

One time, the seventies threw up a TV show.

The Wild Robot, 2024 - ★★★½

A robot with glowing eyes is peeking through foliage next to the title The Wild Robot.

Yep, I cried.

I got this political ad texted to me: “AMISH for Trump”. Who do I tell that they’re barking up the wrong tree, twice? 🇺🇸

A NYC subway display for the upcoming Hudson Yards bound 7 train, but the screen is all glitchy.

Sometimes, the MTA is fun. 🚇

Terrifier 3, 2024 - ★★★

A sinister clown with sharp teeth and a menacing expression looms in the shadows above the title Terrifier 3.
