Sorry in advance to all my friends who have been signed up for this newsletter since its inception, but thanks to my pal Sean over at The Verge I have a bunch of new people who have made the horrible mistake of signing up for this newsletter so I gotta address that briefly:
Hi! I can almost guarantee you will be disappointed by this newsletter, which is mostly a place for me to talk about how this last stage of capitalism is annexing and destroying our collective mental health. Most of the pieces here will not be as good as the one about Semantic Drain, because good ideas do not in fact come every week. Maybe you’ll like the one about how Facebook and Google and Amazon are totalitarian organizations? This one is about how I turned an instinct to self-harm into beautiful tattoos and I think it’s pretty good.
I’m probably going to write about why Funko Pop figurines fill me with despair at some point. I’m sorry if you like them. They’re bad.
