Since it's Neil Young's 80th birthday today, here's my favourite song of his. Like all the best Neil Young songs, it's very simple, but is transformed by these perfect descents into the minor key. It also just so happens to share a name with the best Pink Floyd song.

If anyone is at #HALCON this weekend, stop by the @writersfedofns.bsky.social table and grab their zine. I have a fun little story in it. I believe it will also be made freely available on their website for a limited time.

Every year I tell myself I will plan ahead for a Halloween costume, and every year I watch the days pass by, costume-less until the final hour. I feel it happening again. How can we change our nature?

Silent Hill f is a perfect example of what happens when a game isn't weighed down by established lore and canon; it can actually tell a new story. It's the anthology Silent Hill was meant to be before the series became increasingly obsessed with its past (and that damn cult) after Silent Hill 2.
Silent Hill f pays off something that was established in Silent Hill 2, but then forgotten: the promise of this series as an anthology. @elijahgonzalez.bsky.social on how the latest game frees itself of lore and plot-specific baggage to tell its own very good, but still very Silent Hill story.

I was fortunate enough to visit the d'Orsay in Paris recently, and I really fell in love with Tissot's "The Dreamer (Summer Evening)". For me, it captures such a devastating kind of exhaustion and ennui.

Been reading Homer's Odyssey for the first time, and I find it very interesting how our concept of protagonists has changed. Nowadays, many scoff (or find it uninteresting) when a heroic character is overtly privileged. Yet, not only is Odysseus a king, but Athena essentially wipes his ass for him

Aftersun, NOPE, and Drive My Car would be in my running. Honorable mentions to TITANE, I Saw the TV Glow, and Another Round.
One Battle After Another has been getting a lot of “best movie of the decade” talk, and I’m inclined to agree but I’m curious — what’s the competition?
