YouTubeThis is one to keep an eye on when it premiers March 1 on HBO. It stars Jason Bateman, David Harbour, and Linda Cardellini, but more importantly, it comes from writer and creator, Steve Conrad who is also the mind behind the fantastic Patriot as well as my favorite Perpetual Grace Ltd.

World of ReelOriginally, the film would jump ahead to the 1980s for its ending, with Marty having made the shoe store he works at in the beginning of the film into a massively successful franchise. Now a rich man (but not a ping pong legend like he imagined), Marty would take his granddaughter to a Tears for Fears...

Moontype FoundryAn absolutely stunning and delightful typeface. Instant buy for me.

Vanity Fair“This is not the first time that Ye has tried to apologize. In December 2023, he posted a brief apology on Instagram, written in Hebrew and directed to “the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions.” People questioned the timing; his album Vultures 1 was about to be...

NY TimesDude has six super bowls as a head coach and two as a defensive coordinator. I hate the Patriots dynasty as much as the next guy (so help me god it doesn’t happen again…), but what else do you need to do to get into the HoF?!

NY TimesMr. Sala [the Mayor of Milan] added: “Bringing to Milan a militia which distinguished itself — this is not my opinion — with criminal acts, which kills, which enters in the homes of American citizens without authorization, I do not think that that is a good idea.”This is insane.

One Word at a TimeIf you know anything about me, you know I love a good story—so much so I started my own short fiction litmag, but that’s neither here nor there. Michael Staniforth is doing a review of a different short story every day of the year and it’s been a joy to follow along.

NY Times“Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace”This is pure insanity. What a childish, insecure, petty old man. The narcissism and selfishness to try to take over a country for what you think is a...

World of ReelWhen Sandler digs deep into a performance, like the one in “Punch-Drunk Love,” there’s an eccentricity to it that most mainstream movie stars simply don’t have. He taps into something that I can best describe as wounded, awkward, and —quietly?— explosive — a kind of emotional instability that feels...

Z1NZ0L1NAs long as colour electronic paper is as grainy as Kaleido and as slow as Gallery, you should stick with black-and-white E Ink displays (or go with colour LCD/OLED). If and when colour e-paper improves enough to be worth it, you’ll still have to think long and hard about how and why you’ll use your device,...
