I started writing about the Summer of Ludd and ended up writing about all the ways tech has grabbed power and all the ways we can take it back. (The secret is: politics). There's a good chance I cited your work in this piece – there are links for days. rebeccawilliams.info/unwinding-th...

Unwinding the Great Tech Power Grab
Movements to reclaim power over technology are springing up, from Neo-Luddism to Permacomputing to Rewilding the Internet. Alongside these approaches, we must discuss how tech has atrophied the exact ...

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a seal and a shark are laying in bed, getting hot and heavy. The seal romantically says, “Shark…” Panel 2: with its eyes still closed, the shark replies, “person on a boogie board…” The seal suddenly opens its eyes, looking pissed. Panel 3: the seal exclaims, “what!?” And the embarrassed looking shark says “uh…” The shark has a thought bubble and is imagining a swimsuit-clad balding man with sunblock and goggles holding a boogie board.

so I started eating ants on a log. i think salt and some spiciness would help. i get a bunch of celery, make stock or soup or cut some up for a mirepoix. then there's like half a bunch of celery still and I'm left scratching my head. maybe this is why AOAL exists: celery scraps for kids...and me.

Probably my all-time favorite quote about editing is, some clueless individual asked Martin Scorsese's editor Thelma Schoonmaker how such a nice lady could edit such violent movies, and she replied "Marty's movies aren't violent until I edit them."

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a snail climbs up onto a frisbee laying in the grass. The snail says, “what a strange flower…” Panel 2: the frisbee is lifted off the ground by a person standing outside of the frame. The snail, still perched on the edge of the frisbee, remarks, “eh?” Panel 3: the snails eye stalks are blown backwards as it is suddenly thrusted forward. From the snail’s perspective, it looks like stars stretching radially from the center, as if traveling at warp speed.

Troopers in a rogue NY State Police unit based in the city routinely blew off their supposed duties of patrolling MTA bridges and tunnels to listen to music, sleep with their girlfriends and, in one case, drive to a strip club in New Jersey, get drunk and get arrested for assault.

Ravenous @weareravenous.com · 06/05/2026
After many months of planning, meeting, writing, and learning a lot more about finance than any of us thought we would in our careers, and after April’s month-long subscriber drive that has brought so many of you to us, we have officially arrived at Day 1 of Ravenous. We have two stories for you.
A graphic with the headline: “This Is Day One of Ravenous” with a subhead that says, “We made it.” The background is a painting called Pronkstilleven by artist Adriaen van Utrecht, made in 1644. It shows a lavish banquet with lobster, fruit, ham, and more, with a monkey grabbing a berry.

Arrival
Three panel comic. (SPOILERS for the movie Arrival, but it’s like a decade old at this point so personally I think it’s chill.) Panel 1: the aliens from arrival are communicating in their circle writing language to Amy Adams’ character. Panel 2: Amy Adams is back with the other humans, standing in front of a whiteboard, and frantically trying to explain the meaning of their language, connecting their symbols to words like “WAR”, “HUMAN”, “PURPOSE”, etc. Panel 3: the aliens are hanging out drinking brews and one of them is like, “and then I drew a circle with a bunch of squiggles!” His buddies are cracking up.

I will read every interview with Heated Rivalry writer and director Jacob Tierney because his quotes are truly a reporter's dream: www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...
"They made me feel really old,” he says. “They were like, ‘What is a wolf and why is it on parade?’ And I was like, ‘I hate both of you.’ And I was like, ‘Feist? 1,2,3,4?’ And they’re like, ‘Oh yeah, we watched that on Sesame Street.’ And I was like, ‘Again, I’d like to push you down a flight of stairs. Your youth enrages me.’”
