If there's one thing I'm a total sucker for, it's print publications roping me into a subscription with significant discounts on the cover price. Relatedly, I'll soon be getting the New York Review of Books again.

WHITE ROOSTER - Lookingglass Theatre Company

White Rooster is a darkly funny tale of love, loss and the strange things we inherit. After a family tragedy, Min is pulled into a world of restless spirits, old curses and mysterious traditions. Her fiancé won’t stay dead, her sister won’t stay buried and a rooster won’t be ignored. Blending spooky folklore with offbeat humor, White Rooster is a haunting tale of grief, family and the messiness of moving on.

My friends have put out another rock album of delicious buzz and fuzz, and I think you should give it a spin.

Now imagining Bob Odenkirk referring to his corporeal form as "the Bod Odenkirk."

Just finding out they rebooted "Malcolm in the Middle." I thought Muniz already had more money than he would ever know what to do with, and isn't he a NASCAR driver now?

You're tellin' me people are juicing the algorithms to expand their reach?? And that some of what comes across people's feeds might not be organic??? Say it ain't so.

The Fanfare Around the Band Geese Actually Was a Psyop

The Brooklyn band Geese was labeled an “industry plant” by those who questioned its sudden ubiquity. Maybe it was.

Calling out a contradiction does not mean you've cornered the market on the truth.

New adventures in DIY publishing over here. Thanks to Buttondown and sequoia-cli, this blog's now available in via the Atmosphere and as a newsletter. To what end, I'm not sure yet, but it's been fun to set up.

Behold, the Future

A reminder from ‘The Deuce’ that all is transitory as I explore new ways to carry this Web 1.0 space forward

It'll be podcasts all the way down within a couple years, right? I'll have one, you'll have one. Every convo will be a guest appearance by a friend of the pod. Every train ride, every meal order, every walk, every belch properly mic'd and recorded—to be downloaded "wherever you get your podcasts."
