Strapped Winter Playlist: Nataanii Means, Rachel Bochner, Suzzallo, and Infinite Coles Winter always feels haunted. It’s cold and dark out, and in the Pacific Northwest, wet. There’s something mournful about it. Bruised. It gets cold here, but not the kind of cold it gets elsewhere in t...

I love this season but I’m so sick of holiday music. So here are some albums that feel cozy, warm, and wintery to me without any of that department store jingle jangle.

Older photo of Chole in a stylish tank, bare shoulders, knee-length denim dress, strappy sandals. Sunglasses. Walking on a city sidewalk.

Even the way Chloe was styled for this 2024 article is markedly different to the 50’s housewife vibe she’s got in the above photo. Still very rich white nepo baby coded but at the very least modern and not yet dripping with fashy tradwife vibes.

Even the photography speaks to that weird fashy nostalgia. The shallow, grainy depth of field in what could easily be a park or backyard, the slightly warm color grading. Compare to the way the editor of British Vogue (Chioma Nnadi) was styled and shot in 2024.

Love a violent pixie nightmare girl. I mostly played hucksters bc I always default to being a magic user, but I loved how weird the magic system in deadlands was.

Conservatives getting mad that del Toro's FRANKENSTEIN is too critical of the doctor and too sympathetic to the monster is the kind of shit that doesn't even play as a joke. It's too stupid to laugh at.

Friend of mine is increasingly concerned that a girl she’s been seeing is using AI to generate flirty things to say to her.

The sexy Watto meme is proof that gen AI is dumb. First, it’s inherently funnier that a real artists took the time to draw sexy Watto. Second, gen AI could never come up with anything so haunting or execute it in such unhinged ways.
