Realizing how accustomed I’ve become to modern machines that don’t want you to access their innards, bc I’m trying to troubleshoot this serger and it’s like …what, do they think I’m a mechanic or something???

Epstein telling Deepak Chopra "I've felt a kinship with Woody because he is tortured by existential dilemmas as am I" hahahaha ok

Who decorated Tucker Carlson's gothic americana mancave and were they purposely channeling the Texas Chainsaw dining room?

Read my new essay about the shriveled imagination of the life-extension guys!! On Bryan Johnson, communist cybernetics, and the Human Centipede.

And if you're in NY, head to the launch party in Brooklyn tonight for Empty Set mag (Dear Friends Books, 7pm🩸)

Considering Venkatesh Rao the height of intellectual insight, believing Fredric Jameson secretly admired globalized commodity production, and claiming that postmodernism has a "business model": just another day at the Andreessen Horowitz dipshit factory!!

I have been wanting to write about Bryan Johnson (Don’t Die guy and prolific poster) for years now. And I finally did! Also about communist blood transfusion, fluid potential, and the horror of the segment.

Read now in advance of the official release of Empty Set mag Issue 1 next week:

Mini afternoon field trip to Martinez on Amtrak - $8 and they’ve got free snacks and bay views. Two 20somethings just got on with a box of Popeyes and one said to the other “girl if you like BART you’re gonna love the train” SHE’S RIGHT

Haha would you believe I got asked if I wanted to write about the Stanley Cup earlier this year and had the same response as you, before realizing they meant THIS Stanley Cup…

I really resent the brand-ification // creative agency-ification of outdoorsy-ness.

Eg this launch of Usal's presence in northern california, which brings nature cleanups, birdwatching, bikepacking, visible mending, etc etc all into play as elements of a brand aesthetic and lifestyle package.

The ecstatic reception of the anthropic retail popup merch drop is sooooo funny. people talk about techies “reinventing the bus/library/etc” — this is “reinventing 2018 hipster b2c company marketing aesthetics”. What other ancient trends can we revive and sell to these guys????

Whenever the Menswear guy posts about how you don’t need to be thin or athletic to dress well, and that big guys can look great and sexy, it’s always with a photo of this exact guy

For my buds still sad about the end of Real Life mag, and anyone else bored of the current state of writing-about-tech, it's time to get excited — a very exciting new left tech-etc magazine is dropping later this month. Empty Set! No website yet but follow on insta www.instagram.com/emptysetmaga...
