I've taken the paywall off this eulogy I wrote for my magical, mysterious ex-stray cat George - who died last year - in case anybody would like a read.

It was very, very hard to write but I think it might be my favourite thing I’ve ever written about cats.

If you enjoy Rankin-Bass specials, Nutcracker Fantasy is made by many of the same artists (its director worked on many of them), but it’s so much weirder and artier by virtue of it being meant for theaters instead of television screens, and it is gorgeous as a result

it's wild how the positive use cases are like "save 5 minutes reading a long doc" and "write a generic email faster" and the negative use cases are "get encouraged to dive deeper in psychosis, misogyny, or suicidal thoughts" and we're still on the fence about overall value

This is 100% true. A guy paid a million dollars JUST to write the first book about it. Techbros were absolutely convinced it was world-changing.
Younger people who didn't witness it cannot fathom the hype around the Segway. Every news station agreed it would revolutionize the entire social fabric of the Earth. That all future humans would divide history between the savage days of the past, and the soon to be new era of zoom zoom scoot scoot.

Don’t get me wrong, I love bats! It’s just fascinating how huge the range is on this order’s diversity in terms of looks.
I love how bats come in 4 flavors:

🦇 mouse with wings
🦇 fox with wings
🦇 cathedral gargoyle
🦇 eldritch nightmare abomination

No one owes anyone, anything. That I can be clear about. However third places and communities don't appear out of nowhere. Everyone wants these things, but they don't come about without you actively contributing or making an attempt to create connections

Today marks one year since the Dec. 3, 2024 martial law declaration that rocked South Korea and still reverberates today. What’s on my mind today is the grit of South Koreans who rushed to the National Assembly that night, in freezing weather, to demand a return to democratic government.

I’m still traumatized by seeing the Ron Howard Grinch in theaters in middle school

it probably is responsible for my deep hatred of “live action” remakes of animated films, as I reflect on this dark memory
life is long and i've seen a lot of things come and go but i will not stand for the rehabilitation of the ron howard grinch. motherfucker i was THERE in the theater. i was there
