This week in @newyorker.com: All you need to know is that the name of the show is Blank Check. I walked around the Museum of the Moving Image's new Mission: Impossible exhibit with the top minds behind @blankcheck.bsky.social to talk Tom, "Sinners," and Videology trivia.

This but it's a small canal tow-path, the run club is taking up the whole pavement, and no-one is looking forward for on-comers. I mowed right through, and THEY got mad at ME! www.curbed.com/article/run-...

In all my time online I'm not sure I've ever seen a fandom activate as quickly and become this psychotically horny as I have wit The Pitt this month. Destiel levels of unrestrained horniess in a matter of weeks. Unsustainable. Frightening.

This week was the debut of the next stage of Trumpism. A culmination of Steve Bannon's playbook a decade ago. Not tweets dictating laws, but laws swift and disposable as tweets, generating discourse that feeds back into online platforms flooded with shit. www.garbageday.email/p/full-stack...

According to years of research we've done, there is actually no such thing as a "TikTok trend," and there never was. American elites were given a glimpse of what modern America looks and sounds like and it scared them so bad they went insane. www.garbageday.email/p/holding-up...

I have enjoyed Tom's books being read to me, often by Tom, while running, though running is not a prerequisite for enjoying Tom's books. I imagine it is strongly discouraged, in fact.
