After twelve years of gracing the world with her floofs, her screams, her beauty, and her single braincell, we sadly had to say goodbye to our dear cat Milo today. My mornings won’t be the same without her.

Dear [Everyone Who Has Told Me To Read The Murderbot Diaries],
I have started reading The Murderbot Diaries so you may now stop telling me to read The Murderbot Diaries. Furthermore, you were all correct when you said they were “something [you] bet [I] would love” and “absolutely [my] shit.”

Somehow, today marks the tenth (?!) anniversary of the launch of “Minecraft: Story Mode.” It was a bit of a punching bag for the internet and social media back then, but it has unbelievably continued to draw fans all these years later even while unavailable to play in any (official) form.

I gotta give it up for these three - had such magical experiences playing all of them, and they were a huge part of opening my mind to the wider world of game development at a crucial point in my career.

Love this Apple Music interview from Damon Albarn & Jamie Hewlett about the next Gorillaz album.
I’ve been following Gorillaz for over twenty years now, and I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited about where they’re at artistically since maybe the Demon Days/Plastic Beach era.

Fascinating story about a “ghost” concept car that was designed in 1939 but possibly/maybe/probably not actually built at the time, and only discovered when the sketches were found in a barn decades later.

Valio is a street artist here in Helsinki whose work I just adore. He’s been doing a series of “collabs” with the electric company this year and they delight me every time.

Charlie Chaplin’s final speech in “The Great Dictator” is full of immensely quotable phrases, but perhaps none that I love as much as his description of fascists as “machine men with machine minds and machine hearts”
