It seems that Kaleb Horton has passed away. A devastating loss. One of the best writers of this generation. Kaleb was a friend for ten years and in all our conversations I was trying to convince him how good he was, something he seemed to know but also never fully believe. I am going to go cry now.

This song still sounds like the future, one we could've easily had but was taken away from us without our permission. Piped in from a different, better dimension. An existential plane we were on and from which, all the sudden, without warning, we were removed.

I think there are many problems in media that can be traced back to a death or drought of sincerity in mass media, a fear of discussing love or solidarity, or unabashedly loving your friends. It’s β€œvulnerable” if you talk about feeling bad or sad. Doesn’t feel vulnerable to me, I feel stronger now

i had two years of journalism class at my (crummy) pgh-area high school. it was EVERYTHING to me. it featured the best, most dedicated/caring teacher i’d ever learned from. i learned and wrote a ton. feel massively fortunate to have had that experience. but for that, no way i make a living writing.

couldn't agree more! every time our daughter has tried to do the "skip intro" option on shows I'm ALWAYS like, "you know ... a bunch of people worked really, really hard on that opening sequence. like it took hundreds of hours. we should honor that work." and it WORKS!!! she's the one saying it now.

Y'all, we need to come up with something better than "how are you?" for the foreseeable future. Because I know that's just standard chit chat, but also, it's really hard for me to say anything other than "aside from the all consuming existential dread, fine I guess" and no one wants to hear that.
