STEM is so cool. Science is amazing. Kids should develop curiosity about how the universe works and proficiency in uncovering its secrets, so that they can most effectively optimize clickthrough rates on banner ads at the bottom of VC-funded website-apps.

For @vulture.com, I wrote about 2024 as the year of elevated trash: movies that feel like guilty pleasures but with a prestige sheen.
Things Worth Living For

ā¢ Discovering a great band or musical artist
ā¢ Experiencing live music
ā¢ Intentionally making a friend laugh
ā¢ Petting a friendly animal
ā¢ Having a drink with a friend
ā¢ Eating an amazing sandwich
ā¢ Creating a piece of art
instead of posting something embarrassing on Al Gore's internet you can just text a trusted friend who is offline, ensuring the thought is out of your head but your dignity is maintained

The oil shimmers in grandma Irmaās cast iron pan. Itās latke time, motherfuckers.
āHaha can you believe McDonalds is doing a Squid Game promoā easily yes because capital subsumes all critiques of itself and no popular TV show or piece of art will ever threaten or unsettle it
It's Christmas. Tomorrow there will be mass discounts on Christmas goods at toy stores, and other retailers like Walmart. Be nice to retail staff and respect picket lines at Starbucks and Amazon. People will also post listings for brand-new, unwanted gifts on Facebook Marketplace.
The Chinese restaurant we ate at, which serves exclusively halal food and has a huge Muslim customer base, was blasting the entirety of Sabrina Carpenterās Short ān Sweet in honor of Christmas, and, honestly, this wild mix of influences is the main thing I love about this stupid country.
A really fascinating delve into the world of 'botched' plastic surgery and what it means to be 'botched' as an identity.

"The demolition crew didnāt give the couple time to save their belongings, so mixed in with the broken pieces of concrete and rebar was most of everything they owned: Clothes, photo albums, birth certificates. 'Forget the furniture,' said Abu Diab, closing his eyes. 'They destroyed our history.'"
Designed to roll up new audience members into a bigger cultural wave, the prequels, spinoffs, and extended universes have instead gotten small.
This holiday season is sponsored by butter and repressed trauma.

You're looking at a view of a sunrise over some mountainy bits that promises a nice day. In the foreground there's a purple and white cup full of tea that I will be chugging in the next few minutes. It's sitting on a rough wooden table set in a hilly garden that knows not a flat surface (even the one the table is on.) beyond that there's a ton of green, the rooves of some houses and a faintly yellow and pink sunrise. The air smells green, like alive first thing in the morning green that tells you weeds are growing at least a foot a minute, and every single bird in my street is roaring the song of its people, including a Tui that is somewhere in the peppercorn tree above me. This is not in the picture because it's a contrary bird who thwarts me at every chance it gets.
It turns out the birds like waking people up early on Christmas morning too. Epic sunrise today.
Since we're in the future here in New Zealand, I gotta tell you, Christmas morning's looking pretty nice. (1)
