David Bowie, in an interview from *2002*. Spotify was still years away.

I think the world really went down the crapper when he died.

I can understand why desperate people do evil. Being selfish when it’s your only option, I can imagine myself in those shoes.

What I’ll never understand is powerful people doing evil. If you already have money and influence and guns, what is there to gain? Like, what personally motivates it?

Fuck ICE.

I don’t have much to say lately, other than that.

Oh, that’s in another country? Then how about fuck Hootsuite, the Canadian company that is helping ICE.

Had a dream last night that a nuclear bomb dropped nearby and my first instinct was to buy a really delicious cake because calories don’t matter if the world is ending.

Doomscrolling has more doom than ever and it’s making my mental health bad, but I feel like looking away isn’t the right thing to do either.

So this masked killer is somehow both an experienced authority figure who always knows best and should always be obeyed, AND a fragile little guy who can’t help go pew pew with his gun if he gets a little spooked?

Where are all these good guys with guns? All I see are absolute monsters shooting people for no fucking reason and nobody doing anything about it.

The Best Stuff of 2025
As usual, here’s a wrap-up of the stuff I liked in 2025. This year, I’ve separated it from a more personal review of my year, which you can find here. The art that affected me in a give…

Here’s my yearly blog post about what happened in the last 365 days. There was a very specific theme in my life in 2025. phronk.com/2025/12/29/2...
2025 in Review
It’s been a pleasant, mostly regular year. If there is a theme, I’d say it’s that I’ve entered an analogue phase. I’ve stepped back from the digital and embraced the physical. That means vinyl reco…

Does my mediation bottle really have to describe it as “take it by mouth”?

Merry Christmas if you’re into that sort of thing.

Artificial intelligence may exceed human intelligence, but can it exceed dog intelligence?

LLMs only know language. Dogs don't have language. I don't see any AIs on track to make all the tiny nonverbal decisions needed for a dog to exist and survive in the world.

It sucks being an Xennial music fan because now all the rock stars from the 70s are dying, and we already went through all the rocks stars from the 90s dying in the 90s.

This chick rules.
Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Maybe Sora is just an elaborate way for Sam Altman to get away with crimes on film, because nobody will believe any footage with the first guy to offer up his face to be used in any fake video.
