I've been called the "fun police" more times than I can count. I've absolutely lost friends, been kicked from group chats, and generally not invited to things because I dare tell my dude friends that their problematic jokes suck. I'll never stop but it's not without consequence.

Dirtywave M8 has an official iOS app - a great addition to mobile tracker apps - CDM Create Digital Music
Dirtywave M8 is already superb as hardware, whether you run their pre-made device or build your own "headless" rig. Now, it has its own official iOS app for iPhone and iPad, too, and it looks hot.

I think Ben Hatke's new book, Home/World (aimed at grown-up readers rather than middle grade), is probably the best thing he's produced yet. Thoughtful, evocative, and a tribute to the world around us. goodokbad.com/reviews/home...

Here’s my recipe Afternoon Super Tea for #makeaterriblecomicday2026
Start with dried hibiscus in a lil strainer and one bag of Costco green tea, boil water and put them all in a cup. Steep it forever, like make it at lunch and set it on the counter and forget it. Then put it into a go cup with ice cubes and some of the following (multiple choice) lemonade, lime juice, chia seeds, sweetener like stevia or coffee syrup or macerated fruit. IF WILL BE SO TART + GOOD. Comic drawn in grid paper with pencil, crayon

There was a period of time where I worked closing 5 days a week and the Apple Store played John Mayer's "Waiting for the World to Change" every day, 3 minutes before closing. There was also working the Genius Bar during the two weeks where they played the Beatles nonstop and I could not think.

Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)
Watched by Branson Reese 28 Apr 2022

Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.
