Tbh I usually can’t do screamo because I can’t make out the lyrics. This is perfect for me! Sounds like a polished demo in the best way.

I’m a simple man: I see a Dalton rec, and I hit play. Bonus points for a Harlan Ellison reference. This rips my face clean off.

The main achievement of the tech industry has been increasing the flow of money from people who make or do things to people who already have more money than they could spend in a hundred lifetimes

“Average musician makes $12 a month on Spotify. The fact that they are not even able to sell a record and it’s taken from them by rich motherfuckers on streaming platforms who get paid royally by record labels,Ticketmaster, merch companies. They’re all fucking getting paid, except for the musician.”

this isn't really an ethical stance, but if someone at a restaurant does literally anything at my table, grabs a plate, refills water, whatever, I will turn to face them and say thank you, every time. and if you don't do that, I am silently judging your character

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Your art goes unbelievably hard. Reminiscent of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, but I’ll have nightmares as an adult, too.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Started a new short story two days ago after not feeling able to write for months. About 400 words deep, which is little, but the confidence is coming back with the muscle I developed from journaling.

This is why DC is more fun than Marvel. They have more fun because none of this truly matters.

Spider-Man is canon as a fictional character in the DCU 🕷️

I am drinking a beer, in a horror bookstore in Brooklyn, after watching the Mets win on an excellent field trip. Life does not suck in this moment.

Perfect marriage of music and comics. I could watch videos like this endlessly!

I don’t believe in the concept of “guilty pleasures”.
If I like it, it’s good (at least to me)
