Over the weekend, the GreenPill podcast dropped this conversation I had with one of the governance technologists I admire most, former Taiwan digital minister Audrey Tang: pod.link/1609313639/e...

Some people don't understand how Groundhog Day could have Christmas themes (it's an entirely different holiday!) Others don't understand how The Nightmare Before Christmas could not (it's about Christmas!)

Perkins is... an uneven director to put in mildly. But this is a crazy effective horror trailer, maybe one of the first in a while I found unsettling? I'll definitely pop this in when it hits streaming.
