I thought this was really nicely done, although also this particular '60s art look, if not this particular esoteric style, is near and dear to me because I feel like I saw it everywhere when I was a kid. Including at Dodger Stadium, apparently. lamaterial.com/p/dodger-sta...

Only partially what this is about, but I appreciate Daniel's candor about how fucked the finances of being a freelance journalist are. Going viral is great, but they don't pay you more when that happens. Our bills don't get paid in clicks, and the set rates are simply not livable

Cregger also a “just a cup for water please” AMC guy. they insist on giving us the smallest cups in the world to force us to buy a gallon of soda for $27.99 but we will not budge. The little cup of ice water with residual sprite runoff is all we need
Last night they had a Ramones event at Hollywood Forever and for some reason that included John Travolta presenting a screening of Propeller One-Way Night Coach. He wore his director’s beret, pronounced “debut” the French way, and told the crowd that it won the Palm d’or

patagonia you are entering a world of pain by making a shirt that looks like unknown pleasures. disney almost died for doing this like 15 years ago
Editors who go crazy slicing and dicing never make the story better either. They fuck it up and make you look bad and feel bad. Insult to injury is it takes forever to deal with a sea of red in a doc too, so you’re doing way more work for no extra pay. Feels like an ego trip most of the time

Had to go into a Chase to open an account and was making small talk with the bank guy while we went through the forms. I said "I remember when I was a kid this was a—" and he cut in sagely: "a Boston Market, yes." He knew his role as the keeper of the land's history
