there’s something deeply perverse about the expectation that a “cancelled” artist is somehow going to produce *even better* art. For all that we talk about “separating art from artist” or whatever, we actually as a culture place “being problematic” as a *prerequisite* for producing great art
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Louis C.K.’s Next Chapter
In a new standup special, and a début novel, the comedian navigates murky, post-#MeToo terrain: not quite exiled, not quite welcomed back.

prime juxtaposition on the timeline between “our culture is doomed, as evidenced by roblox calling children’s nascent gambling problems an exciting opportunity“ and “our culture is doomed, as evidenced by people liking taylor swift”

A few years ago I had a project that involved extracting the art assets from a copy of MS Bob, and you may be either delighted or horrified to know that the entire thing is a series of Access database files with bitmaps embedded directly in the DB

we think 90s music was grunge, gangsta rap and Electronica but it was actually Prince spilling tea in an AOL chatroom
Y’all wanna hear a wild story? Charlie is right — this medley Prince made 30 years ago, blending many of his greatest hits & fan favorites into an extended mashup, is one of the most fun “only Prince could do this” things he made in the 90s. BUT: he told us he was gonna do it. In an AOL chat room…
Unpopular opinion: the Purple Medley is one of the best things Prince ever did.

the thing about whisper networks is that they frequently contain their subjects
