Torn between Succession, Mad Men, and Better Call Saul here, but weirdly, that felt like the only part of this that was a toss-up. I'm a little surprised at how unwavering the other nine wound up being.

A ballot for the ten best TV shows of the 21st century: Twin Peaks (The Return), The Curse, The Wire, 30 Rock, The Leftovers, On Cinema, The Venture Bros, Survivor, Succession, and Taskmaster

The Why Cheap Art? Manifesto, Bread & Puppet Theater, 1984

the WHY CHEAP ART? manifesto
PEOPLE have been THINKING too long that
ART is a PRIVILEGE of the MUSEMS & the
RICH. ART IS NOT BUSINESS !
It does not belong to banks & fancy investors
ART IS FOOD . You cant EAT it BUT it FEEDS
you. ART has to be CHEAP & available to
EVERYBODY. It needs to be EVERYWHERE
because it is INSIDE of the WORLD.
ART SOOTHES PAIN !
Art wakes up sleepers !
ART FIGHTS AGAINST WAR & STUPDITY !
ART SINGS HALLELUJA!
ART IS FOR KITCHENS!
ART IS LIKE GOOD BREAD!
Art is like green trees!
Art is like white clouds in blue sky!
ART IS CHEAP!
HURRAH!
Bread & Puppet Glover, Vermont, 1984

I tried using AI to write my resume, the way they tell you to, but it kept sneaking in little references to my sensual lips. Claude stop it, I said. This is a programming job. It ignored me. Bedroom eyes, it wrote, under a job where I mostly used Visual Basic. Wears tight little shorts.

When I was 16 a teacher had us read Ray Kurzweil—the original apocalyptic AI cultist—and it was so obvious to us how delusional he was that we all ganged up to tell the teacher how much Kurzweil sucked, and that was how I met my first-ever girlfriend. True story!

It's very easy to wear a suit and tie in any major city, even if the aesthetic has mostly disappeared from daily life, because there are people outside wearing pink tutus with Army boots. As usual, your liberation is connected to other people's liberation.

Bobby Mars on Twitter writes: "If you wear a collared shirt and nice shoes out to the bar in the rust belt, multiple people will ask you if you just came from a wedding. Aesthetic standards for men’s attire are horrendously low"

There is no deadline for finding your people, falling in love or discovering something new about yourself. If you’re beginning again, I hope you give yourself room to be a beginner. You don’t have to explain your pace to anyone. I'll always cheer for the life that feels right to you.

Abstraction is to video games what cuts are to film: the defining trait of the medium, around which all artistry springs. It's why so many modern games are such shit.

I don't love Hamilton, find its emotional beats insincere and transparently manipulative, and think its rhyme schemes are obnoxious and cringe, but also Lin Manuel-Miranda is insanely good at what he does. All Lin haterdom needs to factor that in, because denying it makes you sound dumb

Had the privilege of recording a classical piano trio I composed recently. I've been obsessed w chamber music the last few years bc of the human elements that come through that can get washed out with the scale of a full orchestra. Here's the main theme:

People who think that politics is about principle tend to be confused by men like Lindsay Graham, for whom politics is about power. For the latter, rhetoric is just another avenue for seeking power; the only real "politics" is who they think deserves power and who they think deserves none

We should never have let fame become a middle-class job, or even middle-class job adjacent. It’s the toxic run-off of actual accomplishment, and instead we made it the top of the food pyramid.
