Mildly nervous. About to do an interview for Unseen 21. It’s got a different vibe to it.

If y’all were worried about reality TV taking over during a potential strike (a false idea in itself), please send all inquiries to the live services department at Netflix handling #LoveIsBlindLive

Incredibly, Twitter has now made it impossible for public safety bulletins to be posted automatically by weather services, tsunami warnings, the MTA etc. This is consistent with Musk’s particular lack of interest in public service. But it also highlights the general problem of building networks on private property - precisely why we need Mastodon and other open source apps to take their proper place at the center of our online communities

People watching #thorloveandthunder: Wow! That Russell Crowe’s really leaning into the comedy with his crazy exaggerated accent!

The same people watching the trailer for #ThePopesExorcist : Oh.

RIP Al Jaffee, one of the most influential voices of multiple generations of pre-pubescent and adolescent boys

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/10/arts/al-jaffee-dead.html

Al Jaffee, Inventive Cartoonist at Mad Magazine, Dies at 102

For 55 years he created the fold-in (as opposed to, say, Playboy’s fold-out), giving readers a satirical double-take on whatever was going on in the news.
