Spent New Years Day finally signing my name on the boy over at Stoop Kid Burgers in The Churchill Phx downtown. Come by, eat a burger and stare deeply into his eyes. He will love you forever.

“… see, it’s right here, The Gloria Vanderbilt Collection.”

Scrolling through one of those Apple Tips productivity presentation things and notice that there's a restaurant in LA that uses the logotype from the first edition of Dune as their logo... and it's not associated with the book at all...? I am so perplexed.

Randomly walked by my mural this morning and realized that it had been painted over. Feels bad man 😕. Pour one out for the giant naked man eating a burger.

@MightyDOOM This game low key became my most played game on my phone. Huge bummer it’s being killed. Corporations are the worst.

This Washed Out AI vid is the best case for blatant artlessness I’ve ever seen. It says nothing, does nothing, is nothing. Ugly slog too. Being an artist carries the responsibility of telling the truth. Ur personal truth. Some guts. Anything short of that, ur a bore & a grifter.

I am just _now_ watching Robocop 2. This is visual comedy in its highest form. I did 12 year old me a disservice by missing Murphy as a stunt ramp.

@domesticetch The one out in the rural areas just outside of Bologna?

When getting off of a rough as fuck Zoom call.

I love when rebrands are _this_ much better. 👌🏻

I’m in my DIIV era. Frog in Boiling Water cannot come soon enough.

Everyone pay attention. This is the future AI driven creativity is promising us. Whoever worked on this event 100% did everything in Chat GPT and Midjourney. https://t.co/Ad7qFx2HiS

The news about Richard Lewis and Larry David’s tribute to him hits hard: “He had that rare combination of being the funniest person and also the sweetest. But today he made me sob and for that I’ll never forgive him.” RIP

A childhood photo of my brother and I that also could have been an album cover for Crystal Castles.

My daily driver Blundstone boots have taken on a very audible quality and basically have become Larry David’s squeaky sneakers from Curb. I have lost all ability to quietly enter rooms and sneak up on people.

I am super excited to announce that I was going to be branding something new and exciting from a well known establishment in my city but was just secretly replaced by someone a guy’s brother knows!

[jordon roberts @Jilko]

I still don’t understand this current human desire for AI to, first and for most, create art. Why are we all leaning so hard into this? Do we all really want a future where we’re sifting through fake films, fake books, fake photos and fake paintings just to find the good shit?

It’s amazing how a very plastic action figure looking merch item from A24 looks EXACTLY how Zac Efron’s face looked like in The Iron Claw. They captured the uncanny valley perfectly here. Bravo.

Went to my favorite place in the state of Illinois since I was maybe 12 years old. My grandfather would always take us here and I collected their catalogues for years just for their illustrations and comedic names for weird surplus shit.

This is me now. The braid is real and the lizard is rubber. My new stylist is my niece, Suzie.
