Chicago-based.

Commercials on streaming services are so much more jarring and intrusive than pre-streaming. In every way, streaming is turning out inferior. This will not end well, which is probably for the best.


You know how 50 degrees feels amazing at the end of winter but quite deadly after summer? That’s how I feel we view Obama-style pragmatism. Definitely a legacy worth examining and evaluating, but also hard to imagine now the context he was operating in after Bush Jr.


You can build an edifice (or organization) on contrarian principles or just believing everyone else is wrong, but that foundation will not hold up forever.


Seeing old film photos extolled for that “look,” even bad ones with flash. Every time you use old tech, just remember the output eventually becomes a valuable artifact that will be coveted in the future. Example: Chicago’s common brick.

I hate hate hate seeing a tennis player lose because of unforced errors.


Local history will not remember this moment but many good things will come of this meeting.

my hong kong boy meeting with @jeffersonmok turned into a sprawling discussion about the non profit and Chinatown/Uptown scenes in Chicago and best practices. I really miss this town. we also bought delicious donuts for us and the itinerant man from this vault.

We’re not far from AI scoring of debate responses in real time that incorporate accuracy, feasibility, popularity, etc.


Getting up, New Year’s Day ‘98, to see Shellac at the Fireside Bowl at 10am. Damn. #rip Steve Albini


When the fashion mind can grasp and contain the aesthetic possibilities of both @dieworkwear *and* @modsiwW then we’ll start seeing progress in society as a whole. The expansiveness is infinite.


Everything #Arsenal does is at walking pace, like they’re tactically constipated. Even unpredictable moves emerge so slowly, defenders easily catch up. #BAYARS


In terms of time efficiency and probability of anything good happening, watching baseball highlights rather than games is unbeatable.


The best words on the internet: “Jump to Recipe”


Why do live action anything if you're just going to add tons of CGI?


#Chicago people, anyone want to join a #bowling league with me at #waveland? Starts in February.


Every time I'm interrupted by an ad on any streaming or video platform, I make a note to never buy from that company.

Digging out all my old ipods so I can listen to music the way I want.


This platform now being super saturated with Out of Context content accounts is about as on point as it gets.
