“Lost media” no longer! I finally got permission to upload “AL’S BRAIN,” an 11-minute educational 3-D film attraction which ran at the Orange County and Western Washington fairs, and hasn’t been seen publicly since 2009. You can watch the whole thing here: youtu.be/2xujU87ZHt4

In the summer of 2013, two esoteric, technical, incredibly important texts were published within weeks of one another: the first is the Snowden leaks, which revealed a system of global, pervasive digital surveillance. 1/

"Eugène Delacroix's painting 'La Liberté guidant le peuple' ('Liberty Leading the People'), depicting the French revolution as a ragtag group of peasants led by a flag-waving, bare-breasted incarnation of 'Liberty.' The painting has been altered: the scene is now being observed with a giant, smoke-shrouded CCTV dome, and the distant building have been replaced with a mainframe computer.

one pager about my Grandpa Ed talking to his Siamese cat Hank.

A comic about an old man talking to his cat over his morning paper. "I should get dressed and do something today even if it's wrong." "you want some gruel or what? Mighty fine pussycat." "My God cat, I almost got the paper read and you come along." "God almighty." "It's the ten year anniversary of that Indonesian tsunami." "230,000 people died." "I think the world is falling apart myself."

American healthcare: I've had good health the last few years, and the last medical visit was to my primary care for bloodwork in 2024. I pay $700/mo for my insurance, so after paying ~$17k for zero medical services, they just sent me a random bill for $33 to finish paying for the 2024 visit.

Taxes done. Ugh. I've been slogging through TurboTax for years (when I couldn't find a CPA), and just heard of FreeTaxUSA this year. Lives up to its dorky name, and was breezy to file even with my fairly complicated self-employed setup. #adulttalk #motherfuckingtaxes
