I just want to read take downs of David Ellison today. Like @mcastimovies.bsky.social piece for A.V. Club. Give me all of them.
I want to read about Arrival, Project Hail Mary, and Big Walk. The article could be called The Nature of Language and learning how to communicate. Editors, if this is something you might be interested in, I'm interested in writing it.
If you prefer video, I just recorded the review below: youtu.be/fZpOotQj-YM?...

I like to imagine devs sitting a foot in front of 32" CRTs like when they were kids and being like, "yeah this is great." Living spaces aren't built like that anymore. I don't want to use binoculars to play a game.

On a whim I bought a Spin Clean for my vinyl records. I don't know how I lived so long without it. Even my most troublesome records sound great now. If you have more than 50 records its a must have purchase.

Oh, my God. Nicest guy. Was on the Pogues bill at Carnegie with him. His love of music was palpable, infectious, radiant. I’ve seldom seen a musician as connected to the moment of the song as he was that night, in deep communion with the song & the people playing it. So many felt it. Hard loss.
