Imagine finishing a night sesh by hitting somebody else’s joint, ending up way too high, and ducking into Rudy’s to try to settle your brain. You do all the “too stoned at a bar” things like saying you’re great when they ask your order. Then Donald Fagen writes a song about it

Oh you think guys getting turned into robots in some sort of recoding studio accent is endearingly goofy? Check out this Michel Gondry video to one of their songs where synchronized swimmers and skeletons dance.

The boy has gotten really into Daft Punk, which makes sense, because a couple djs who dress up like (and have songs about) robots is exactly the type of thing that would instill wonder in a second grader.

Ran into a friend on the way home from picking the kids up, and he said "I like how you guys all have the same haircut." Damn.

The latest @TheCut Book Talk newsletter just ran a very similar story down to iLanders; I need to pitch an explainer on NBDs.

Easy to consume news and hear about how AI is going to create bioweapons and turn into skynet; I'm still thinking about Cole's latest piece and the haphazard llm-powered junk that clutters everything you do with a smartphone or computer. simplemagic.ca/gates-of-stee…

In reaction to Quartersnacks' new ridiculously long ledge at Tompkins, I have constructed an inversely ridiculous short ledge somewhere in Brooklyn.

If you never got to cut the line to get a pair of $5 Bones bushings, sorry, you missed out.
