“There are no good movies to see right now” - Please go see Project Hail Mary while it’s in the theatres. It deserves to be watched on a big screen. Even (especially?) if you don’t think you like science fiction or space movies. It’s good for the soul given all the things here on earth.

Pro tip: Mazatlán’s duty free shop doesn’t actually put stuff in proper duty free bags. Don’t ask me how I know because I’m busy running across Calgary airport to check an extra bag.

I paused my #selfie a day project while on holidays. Back home today so kick starting it again with a beauty of a sunset to say goodbye to Mazatlán.

Very cool to see the Ghost / Transistor collaboration at work on MG Siegler’s Spyglass blog, Spyglass Aloud. Though I do think using AI to read it is depriving his subscribers of hearing the humanity behind the writer, mistakes and all.

I just learned that Theo Von is 46 years old. I would’ve guessed mid-30’s at best the way he speaks and is portrayed in media.

A Theo Von is speaking into a microphone on a podcast set with a sign that reads This Past Weekend in the background.

I’m annoyed at how well unplugging from all the things works as a mental health strategy.

“I don’t understand why I sleep all the day…” youtu.be/foSUStaJt… 🎶 Blind Melon takes me back to a time and place, even as a cover by Goose.

I’m definitely not sick. The chills and aches are because I’m having so much fun being awake at 3am not sleeping, right?

One good thing to come out of 2026 is new U2 music: they just released another EP called Easter Lily. When the world is crazy, at least there’s art and music to try and make sense of it all. #u2
