Having lots of fun playing Death Stranding 2 right now.

Happy LA treated you well and have a safe flight home! 🙏🏻

Froofy French toast.

The new Naked Gun leans hard into ACAB.

I approve.

I believe they call this "finding out" arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

100% truth, y’all.

Oh wowwwww. RIP 🙏🏻🫡

A thing not often mentioned here is one of the things OpenAI is trying to take away is community. Having experts beyond yourself — and professionals and friends and family and and and — means interacting with them, enforcing community. This attempts (poorly, thankfully) to diminish and destroy that.

Permeate.

Screenshot of text reading: Generation X, a lot of men like me—and I’m fully complicit in this—I think we have not outgrown our fandom in a healthy manner. And I think the biggest problem—look, I’ve spent 30 years writing other men’s daddy issues, OK? I’ve also spent 30 years with a generation of writers, and there’s a lot of them who suffer from the disease that their idea of creativity is, we’re just gonna rewrite Star Wars all the time and hope we get called a genius for it. And at a certain point, Generation X really has had a rough time kind of coming of age from those—we are a generation that has these humongous pop-cultural touchstones. ... We were present at the birth of modern-day scripture. But that doesn’t mean that has to be your identity, you know? And I think that’s one of the biggest issues in terms of being a fan and being a creator right now is getting over it.

On our SDCC panel this year, longtime friend of the podcast @okbjgm.bsky.social diagnosed his own generation of screenwriters with a very particular kind of pop-cultural malaise. 😅

If you're still on Substack, please consider migrating to another service. Like so many things in our country, it's just gotten ridiculous at this point.

death or @darthbluesky.bsky.social ?

Time to step up and do the same @governor.ca.gov

Sadly they’re getting bleached.

The absolute lack of self-awareness in some people, I swear to god…

Frackin’ toasters…

A slender green hardcover book titled “Six Centuries of Type & Printing” by Glenn Fleishman, being held in my right hand.

Just received this, @glennf.com — it’s an exceptionally well-made book, there’s real joy in just feeling the materials and looking at the overall aesthetic choices you made.

What if Everything We Know About Sacagawea Is Wrong?

A very interesting read. "The Hidatsas’ portrait of Sacagawea is both richer and more ambiguous than the one found in standard histories."

Niners sign one of the best names in sports. 🔥

So apparently, it may turn out that The Wizard of Oz at the Las Vegas Sphere wasn’t entirely made in AI and Google threw the VFX crew under the bus by claiming it was all done by artificial intelligence.

If true, then fucking yikes.

Explaining babies.

Midnight Society Mary: ‘sup, bitches.

The worst parts of the Scott prequels are when they try to be prequels. The best parts are when they just mess about on their own without tons of concern about connecting the dots. Regrettably there’s more of the former than the latter but still.

Wrote about Substack not just being the Nazi Bar, but promoting itself as such.
