UPDATE: an appropriate amount of cats featured in the space, I am appeased.

I do love a good denial! (Tansy House Exhibit at The Shed, for Mitski's new album)

Hi there! I'm not really set up here yet, but @scottedelman.bsky.social just posted a long, meandering conversation we had for his Eating the Fantastic podcast, so that seems as good a first post as any. Happy to answer questions if almost three hours wasn't enough for you.

I like that I don't need to learn tea temperatures because the buttons tell me which to press.

That and my electric kettle are probably my most used appliances.

When it comes to dishes that involve "put rice in the rice cooker" as the first step? Absolutely.

very much yes

...you can't tell me that's not the name of a Douglas Adams character

May we live in less interesting times

Gawain the green knight opening a letter sealed with wax

Little Alex Horne in his studio chair with the caption "so a simple task: land a fair blow anywhere on the green knight. One year later meet him at the green chapel, receive the same blow yourself."

A cut to a wider shot showing Greg Davies in his throne turning to Little Alex Horne subtitled "Well surely no one just ran up and whanged his head clean off."

Cut back to Little Alex Horne subtitled "Let's see Gawain first."

Looks like the original has been swept away by the sands of time.

...oh right, I never told you about how a friend was gifted a giant 3D printed Mecha Moo Deng that randomly played songs off this playlist through an embedded speaker.

"Philosophy of Thieves" made me very happy because it delivered heist with a side of borderline-Larp.

Counterpoint: it's not just Dropout, it's Game Changer.

As it should be.

The Rookie is so smart. First "Cop Daddy", now Rookie x Game Changer? I missed the days when criminal procedurals had their finger on the pulse like this so much.

CSI meets edoc laundry! Numb3rs does an ARG! Flash mob felonies! We're so back.

Key art for "Don't Hug Me I'm Scared" on Dropout shows its title along with its three principal puppet characters in picture frames.

one of my all-time favorite weird and wonderful shows - DON'T HUG ME I'M SCARED - is now on dropout!

full web series now; TV series (which less people have seen) over the course of the next few months. big thanks to blink industries, becky, and joe for their faith in us.

We just need the next episode of Stranger Things to drop to put it all together.

"What if pants were 90% belts" is a significant reason I keep deluding myself into thinking I could be a techwear guy.

But what if I want you to want more of FUN things. Like books.

Or more books.

MIT Mystery Hunt Events (Part 3): Turning a Nightclub into a Heist When I was tasked with running Events for the MIT Mystery Hunt, I couldn’t get one particular question out of my head: “what would it look…

This is doubly delightful for me, since one of the Mystery Hunt events I ran involved conscripting 100+ people into making friendship bracelet puzzles in order to sneak into a secret party they "weren't invited to".

Stealth Puzzle Concert Freebies!!! Gotta love it.

"We can dance if we want to...we can leave our spines behind"

That first experiment would make a great Mystery Hunt puzzle.

Y'know what? You can wait for the context.

What a stacked cast!!!
