Did you see my bag? Did you see my bag? It's got hella trophies and it's hella thick! Where did my bag go??? I feel like it's impossible to miss what with all those dang trophies in it. 🏆 Make your haters hella sick with a trophy of your own: topatoco.com/collections/trophies-certificates-awards 🏆

A graphic of three golden trophies against a photo of a WALL of trophies. The first trophy reads, "MY NAME IS OZYMANDIAS, KING OF KINGS; LOOK ON MY WORKS, YE MIGHTY, AND DESPAIR!". The second one reads "MORE LIKE FARIFICIAL INSMELLIGENCE". The last trophy reads "SCIENCE" "1ST PLACE" "HOTTEST SCIENTIST".

How to make money in the media industry.

Cat waits at a bus stop checking his phone while Girl walks by selling newspapers. 'EXTRA EXTRA' she shouts, 'Read all about it in the Poo York Times. A newspaper you can read on the toilet!' She hands Cat a section of the newspaper. 'P Magazine' he reads. 'All your favorite sections!' says Girl. 'This is 90% ads for toilet paper' says Cat, continuing to read. 'All your favorite features! And weirdly -' Cat interrupts. 'That I can't afford.' '-higher ethical standards than the New York Times.' Cat becomes enraged. 'There's TOO MUCH going on in the world to WASTE TIME with this POTTY HUMOR!' 'If you don't want to laugh read Metropolitan Diarrhea' says Girl, handing Cat another section. 'Blech' he says.

Cat and Girl vs. the Audience

'There is a difference between a phone and a radio' says Girl. 'There is a difference between a video cassette recorder and a video cassette player!' says Cat. 'One allows you to talk WITH people,' says Girl. 'All the tru artist needs' says Cat, holding a VHS tape. 'One allows you to talk AT people,' continues Girl. 'Is the tool that lets YOU record - CONTROL' Cat continues. They go back and forth. 'Or be talked at.' 'And sometimes a little piece of tape.' 'But my every mode of communication does both! And I can't tell who is talking at me and who is talking with me - and when I respond - I'm not sure which one I'M doing!' 'What are we watching?' 'And sometimes' 'The rending of the wall between public and private - friend and audience - friend and customer - everyone creating MLMs - not works - not worlds.' 'I can't remember what the difference is.' 'You haven't looked until you've seen -' 'What are we watching?' 'Us,' Cat replies.

A Brief History of Reviewing Things on the Internet, Vol. I

'I review things on the internet!' says Girl. 'I'm basically like a minor god. I was here when the heavens were torn asunder and the first giants appeared. And I was an active participant in a mailing list discussion about the best pizza in New York. I just really love this one place! More people should go there! I was here when the giants tore out chunks of their own flesh to create the internet. And I reviewed every restaurant I ate at for a website of restaurant reviews - which felt helpful! And have me a sense of expertise - and of power - I was here when the children of the giants - fine-featured, gold-clad Googles and Facebooks - turned on their parents and killed them and claimed the internet as their own. And as more people left reviews they melded together into CONTENT and I was just doing WORK for FREE. And the reviews were pulled into aggregators to be pulped alongside thousands of others, stripped of personal histories and nuance and reconstituted as a single number.'

Scored the True Stories book, and wanted to share the opening essay: “Empires in retreat get into some pretty weird stuff.”

It's one of the weirdest pieces of architecture ever, a huge trade mart devoted to the microelectronics industry, modeled after the Crystal Palace or maybe it was the Brighton Pavilion. It's like trying to make a computer look like a grandfather clock.
If you can think of it, if you can imagine it, it exists some-where. The largest shopping center in the world has a really long serpentine lake in the middle of it, and five submarines go up and down it. The waters are infested with sharks and surrounded by jungle. I couldn't have made this up. It's in Edmonton, Canada. It exists. True. story: I was just recently told about a man in Texas who's soliciting funds to build a wall around the state modeled after the Great Wall of China.
It takes people here to have the audacity to build something like the Info Mart and make it work. You feel like you're laughing at it and admiring it at the same time. It's a great feeling. Kind of cheers you up. In my various research trips to Texas I looked around and I could see where the dramatic events in True Stories could take place and who would be there and what it would look like. I could redraw all the storyboards based on real people. It became clear where the different characters' lives would overlap and where they would run into each other. The story is just a trick to hold your attention. It opens the door and lets the real movie in.
Movie making is a trick. Song writing is a trick. If a song is done really well, the trick works. If not, people can see through it right away. Maybe this movie can be a trick and show you how the trick is done at the same time. Maybe this book can kind of do that too. Most movies show you something and tell you how you're supposed to feel about it. They're edited in a way that tells you what you're supposed to be looking at before you decide that's what you want to be looking at.

It's a trick, and when it doesn't work, it's really offensive, because you know someone's trying to trick you, and they think you can't tell.
The new patriotism is also a trick. It's a real frightening, scary trick that everyone wants so badly to believe is true. The government is selling the country down the river. The real wealth of the country is in the people.
Empires in retreat get into some pretty weird stuff. Egypt, Rome, England, Japan, Spain, and now the United States. They get this intense pride and nostalgia for what they imagine they are and what they imagine they were because they can see it slipping away. America had a lot of free money for a long time.
Money that came out of the ground. In Texas it just shot right out of the ground. All you had to do was look around and find it. When cheap slave labor ran out we just brought some over from overseas. The expansion got a little out of hand, but it's over now. Some of us might have seen the tail end of the heyday, but now most of us can feel reality settling in.
Some people think it's the end of the world; they think Jesus is going to come. He didn't come when Nero fiddled. Why should he come for us? Some people think outsiders are dragging us down. Some people think we just got on the wrong diets—not eating enough vegetables. Some people think we can jog away the fat. Some people get depressed and turn to drugs or drinking. Some people get depressed and go to par-ties—getting all dressed up for the end of the world. Some people are going to escape into a space station to live on artificial worlds. Some people turn inside themselves or go to India. Some people are investing in real estate. Some people go to school and try to analyze the situation. Some people are arming themselves, storing up ammunition and cans of food, getting ready for the invasion. Some people are waiting for the visitors from outer space to come, getting ready for the land-ing, and preparing a welcome.

Tab with vitamins. Diet cola with vitamins.... That's a sure sign. Some of these people are here, in this movie. Some of them we left out.
Then there's the other kind of people. People who seem to have found some kind of ethical center. They might be floundering around a little bit but it's a noble kind of floundering.
Sometimes it's hard to tell one kind from the other.
For years we have been taught not to like things. Finally somebody said it was OK to like things. This was a great relief.
It was getting hard to go around not liking everything. The thing about it is, all of these people are right. None of them is wrong. They are setting a good example, and in this film and book I'm teaching myselt to appreciate them. Besides, it was a lot of fun.

Bombed back into the stone age.

'We used to make things in this country!' says Cat. 'I made a WHEEL. Then we drop-shipped wheels in this country. Then we made reaction videos to wheels. Then we wrote an unauthorized biography of the wheel, then we made a movie from the wheel's point of view.' 'A real stinker! But something of a cult classic' says Girl. 'Then we staged a musical based on a movie about the wheel,' Cat continues, 'to leverage our existing wheel I.P. Then we read the book about the wheel on a podcast about the book about the wheel. The we made a twelve hour Netflix series based on the musical about the wheel in which the wheel has a cameo as the guy who made the wheel.' They stand in the desert. 'So where is it?' asks Girl. 'Where's what' says Cat.

as a culture we have really given "ideas" way too much credit. ideas are a dime a dozen. they happen all the time. the magic is way more in the doing, and the doing's diminished stature is linked to lack of respect for labor and, more recently, skill and expertise.
