✖︎My print experiments are on pause for the foreseeable future. The costs of printing are just too high at my minuscule quantities if I want to do anything on a half decent paper… I am still (slowly) moving things forward on the digital front along with PDFs.

✖︎Huge fan of Defector so it’s cool to get a little a peak behind the curtain.

✖︎Time to fight some crime.
I wasn’t a huge fan of this arc, but this issue (Legacy #900) really delivered. The way it held true to the story and brought in elements of Batman’s history through art was perfect.

✖︎Missed this when it first launched, but $4/mo for a monthly print magazine of cool looking shit. Easy buy for me.

✖︎Let’s overanalyze Roman’s (now sold-out) $14 tee from the children’s section and what it tells us about the show’s real winner.
Just weird enough of an angle to pique my interest.

✖︎The reality of grief as a thing that shifts within us. It is sometimes a dormant tenant and sometimes an overbearing landlord. The ache is ever present. It decides when to come and collect. But it would only be foolish for us to push aside our hungers and yearnings in the hope of circumventing some potential future pain.
Color me intrigued. Never heard of Christine and the Queens prior to this and while the single is different than the stuff I normally listen to, I dig the dreamy nature of it. Album is out June 9th.

✖︎All-new multi-artist project that explores the way things END…and also how they never really do.
New anthology series from W. Maxwell Prince (Ice Cream Man) featuring a new artist every issue, starting with Martin Simmonds (Dept. of Truth) on July 5th.

✖︎Business in general has been enormously skilled in recent times at offloading risk — principally by dumping it on those least able to bear it: ordinary households.

✖︎What Barry as a whole makes clear is that Hader is a legitimately good actor but a potentially extraordinary director, and in this last season especially he’s been more visible, more present behind the camera than in front of it, if that makes sense.
A more positive look at the finale than the Episodic Medium link I posted last night. This one is more aligned with my thinking, but maybe too positive…

✖︎I’ve written quite a bit about Barry, predicting it could potentially become my favorite show of all time, and while I don’t think S4 ended up achieving that, I still enjoyed it immensely.

✖︎Thank you for your service.
What a dunce.

✖︎His supporters see him see him reestablishing Turkish influence and power, a visionary leader in the Muslim world. His critics see him as an unreliable ally—somehow making Ankara more isolated as it tries to extend its influence everywhere.
While it was expected, it still feels like a tough break. It’ll be interesting to see if the Nation Alliance can hold up and keep their momentum until the next election in 2028. Or if Erdogan causes enough trouble on the global stage.

✖︎The details are way outside anything I’d spend time reading, but it sounds like it’s actually a pretty solid bipartisan bill—avoids defaulting and pushes the next debate until after the election.

✖︎An ode to a sacred space.

✖︎When I started this review, I didn’t realize I was going to be quite so hard on this episode; it might be too extreme to call this a wet fart of a finale, given how entertained and occasionally moved I was while watching it. But the more I think about it in retrospect, the more disappointed I am, and the less sure I am about what the future holds for this show.
Capture my thoughts about the season finale and the season as a whole pretty well. While I still enjoyed it, it ultimately fell a little flat, especially considering how much I enjoyed season one and was looking forward to season two.

✖︎Seattle’s beer-snobbery is a bit unfounded, in my opinion. There’s a pretty high floor of consistently good stuff, but I still clamor for beer from the Midwest, East Coast, and LA.

✖︎We are millions of people watching the same moments, feeling elated, defeated, bored, anxious, sentimental, disappointed, and stunned, as we witness the inevitable play out in forty-eight-minute games over a two-month stretch, like we do every year.
Cool to see The Paris Review will be doing a series of dispatches throughout the Finals.

✖︎I hate to break it to people who were mad about their (HBO) Max price going up, but I’d wager both Max and Disney start to force larger bundles at upwards of ~$40. Max will bring in CNN and TNT for live news and sports, Disney will bring in ESPN and ABC/ABC News.

✖︎Still, attacking civilians is a sign of weakness… the Kremlin’s aim is probably to press the Ukrainian government to seek peace by weakening public morale and exhausting Western patience and support. If that is the intention, it is so far failing.

✖︎I was really looking forward to this album. While I think I prefer Arlo Parks’ debut album, Collapsed in Sunbeams, more, My Soft Machine is probably more consistent, top to bottom.

✖︎With Succession and Barry both coming to an end and streamers cutting costs; it does feel a bit like a tv apocalypse is happening in front of our eyes 😝
