The year was 2006. My friend Andrew and I had the crazy idea to do a one-day North Shore Roast Beef tour-something presumably never attempted before. Nearly 20 years later, the torch has been passed to @joshgondelman.bsky.social and @wgbh.org, and they sure did it right. Check out their video below!
A handwritten scorecard of 3 roast beef locations: Nick's in Beverly, Supreme's in Danvers, and Harrison's in North Andover (RIP). Nick's got an A from Andrew and an A+ from me for great beef and sauce and a toasted bun. Supreme's got an A- from Andrew and an A+ from me for great thin sliced roast beef and great fries. Harrison's got a B from Andrew and an A-- from me for an untoasted bun and the beef being dry in some places.

Well I just thought of a great costume 11 years too late: Crashing a Halloween party you weren’t invited to wearing this on your shirt

Business card template that says “*Early 2000s Infomercial Music* Are you sick of being subjected to the endless scroll of Al slop on social media? Tired of feeling stuck with platforms owned by oligarchs who ingratiated themselves with an authoritarian regime? Wish you had somewhere else to follow local artists and share events in your community? Join the Seacoast Music & Art list on Bluesky!”

I’m building out a list of local artists on Bluesky and made these cards with a QR code on the back to encourage people in the community to consider an alternative to the big social media platforms. Download the template below, so you can make some for your neck of the woods!

Thank you for your persistence in calling out the harm of the techno-bullshit, Luke. Check out M*crosoft's cute little AI news widget disgustingly sanewashing what this administration is doing:

Each month I do a dive into my film archive and select a few photographs to highlight using a random number generator. I had a lot of fun with the poll in this one:
