One of the many reasons to love Scorsese. As a film historian his knowledge and experience is peerless, this bit on Kenneth Anger being a good case in point. Would love to hear him talk about Kuchar Brothers, Maya Deren, Brakhage, the Warhol films and that whole era of experimental film at length.

I’m deep into my second book of 2026 and wondering what everyone else is reading in the new year.

I also wrote a lot about libraries last year, and will continue to this year, as they're needed more than ever and are also being flooded with AI slop. This story resulted in a ton of AI books being removed from online libraries: www.404media.co/ai-generated...
AI-Generated Slop Is Already In Your Public Library
Librarians say that taxpayers are already paying for low quality AI-generated ebooks in public libraries.

There’s a kitten rescuer whose videos I love, but she’s clearly been rescuing kittens for so long that she’s run out of cute names
Every new video has the cutest kittens you ever seen, with a caption like, “Meet the Roofing Materials kittens: Tar Paper, Shingles, and Fiberglass!”

So many ghosts in so many machines.

So many ghosts in so many machines.
Like many others this year, I had to switch health insurance providers to find something affordable.
Today I got a push notification: “Pay your first bill.”
Clicked it…and it took me straight to this page.
Can’t say this instills confidence.

Counting up the books I read this year because apparently everything I do is a competition with imaginary devils and I gotta ask: is an omnnibus counted as one book or however many works are compiled in it?

A cozy blanket, a dozing cat, a good book, and the sound of rain beating down on the windowpane. Not a bad Sunday.

Bluesky was generally better when we all more or less agreed to simply block dumb accounts and move on rather than quote dunk on them for clout.

"St Agnes' Eve - Ah, bitter chill it was!
The owl, for all his feathers, was a-cold;
The hare limp'd trembling through the frozen grass,
And silent was the flock in woolly fold."
