The critique of the algocene through Beeple and onchain art:

This week's newsletter. Been slacking at cross-posting lately. Starmirror, Charli XCX, and What We Are Really Creating:

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Early ETH miners on fire off the shoulder of Roberta's. I watched early ConsenSys HQ glitter with stickers in the dark near the Morgan Ave L. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."

Feel like I've hit the limit on Duolingo for my daily Spanish lesson. Learning far too niche vocab and grammar for my actual speaking and listening ability. Curious what else is there if any of you all use language learning apps?

My magical realism pet theory is that David Bowie was the gravitational well for the weird. And when he died in Jan 2016, we lost the ability to keep it all intact.

Vibes 🙌🏃

Unconventional peak experiences #4: 2 whiskeys down, cocooned on a flight with strangers to a far-flung destination, lights dancing in the cabin from TV screens, Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works in your ears, reading an epic sci-fi book.

Musing on the faustian bargain of distribution.

Huh. Weird. Got an impersonator on here. Please be careful.

every day and always

Yo. It's insane to me still, that in TWENTY TWENTY FIVE, in the US, I get a bill in the mail without any option to pay online. Not even when signing up to the utility's online site. What century is this?!

Unconventional peak experiences #3: sometimes seeing a distant plane streak across the sky. It not only induces sonder, but also pulls you back into all your own travels over your life. A feeling of constant departure while always arriving.

Mamdani is a great boon for us musicians who had an average music career a decade ago, and it not being disqualifying for future careers. 😂
