Most of the time my thoughts aren't long enough for a blog post. My shortform notes get posted on Mastodon and Bluesky, and also wind up here.
The Residence was excellent from start to finish. The writing was tight and smart, Uzo Aduba was fucking incredible, and Giancarlo Esposito continues to be one of the very best to do the thing.

Hey take a minute to pause from doomscrolling and read about Year 11 of Punk Planet, a year where it's legitimately impossible for me to believe how much we did. Issues! Books! A whole new magazine! So. Many. Things. dansinker.com/posts/202...

Publishing screenshots of the entire groupchat all the way to including the entire chat membership list is the journalistic equivalent of "Fuck me? Fuck YOU."

“We are currently clean on OPSEC” is definitely the LOL line in the published groupchat.

The funniest thing about all this to me is I've WRITTEN for the Atlantic and nobody looped the EIC into our chats, inadvertently or otherwise.

The thing about groupchats, even on Signal, is they are only as secure as your weakest link member.

My day job is to help run a search for a fellowship program that has always brought in some of the most amazing, creative, and righteous people I have ever known. And this year the search is being completely overrun with near-identical madlib answers generated with ChatGPT. It's so disheartening.
