As I pointed out three years ago, if you woke up on a Casper mattress, worked out with a Peloton, _Uber_ed to a WeWork, ordered on DoorDash for lunch, took a Lyft home, and ordered dinner through Postmates only to realize your partner had already started on a Blue Apron meal, your household had, in one day, interacted with eight unprofitable companies that collectively lost about $15 billion in one year.
Solid weekend on @letterboxd if you ask me…
These people are so fucking rich they created their own version of WestWorld
This Miami Beach guided run on Apple Fitness+ was all kinds of awesome!
Glad I avoided more football pain and decided to go to the cinema instead!
Next up: #DoctorStrange tomorrow
Was talking about it with @Complexion in the FutureBeats show community, but can we talk about how low-key good @AppleTVPlus has become as a service?
(doing less, HBO-style, originals only, but at high production quality/value)
Very excited to finally check out @Cinema_Louxor after 3-4 years living just a few blocks from it (to watch ”Wheel of a fortune and Fantasy”, thank you for asking!)
It’s snowing outside for the second time in a week, but at least there’s this beer and the baseball season just started!
Pics from last weekend and this week so far
🎞 Deep Water: Reminded me of a mixture of Nocturnal Animals with Gone Girl
This playlist is the perfect way to start the day!
Been watching @LongWayTV as a wonderful escape, via @AppleTVPlus and it’s been wonderful!
Ever since hearing it on the opening track ('Invaincu') of his latest #Multitude album, this @Stromae line has been on my mind!
Happy to see that @DuckDuckGo is getting more traction, although a chunk of this is from these crazy fuckers
A really interesting read this morning about Millennials not buying enough wine and the US wine industry slowly freaking out about it…
Oh my! The new Ali Wong special was hilarious!!!
_ The soft, sad freaks on an unprofitable website claimed victory in the battle for the internet’s soul and defined the worldview of a generation._

In case you needed a reminder that Guillermo Del Toro is a master director and storyteller, this is a movie for you!
I highly recommend watching this in black and white, preferably in an art house cinema!
Somehow I expected more fantastic/surreal elements but aside from that it was a fun and remarkable movie to watch!
“Getir”, “Gorilla”, etc. — come back to me when these groceries-delivery startups crash in <12 months because they thought we couldn’t go to the local butcher/grocer/supermarket by ourselves…
TIL: I have slightly abnormously small wrists

I don’t necessarily agree with all the points made here, but some things are worth pointing out…
‘Every member of Forbes’s 2021 cryptobillionaires list is a man. A third of them attended Stanford or Harvard. Out of the 12 listed, only one isn’t white. The web3 narrative feels like a TEDx talk given to a survivalist group.’
Somedays you just have to get back to the basics, you know… #NowPlaying
New Book, picked up from the lovely @abbeybookshop #JapaneseBreakfast #CryingInHMart #MichelleZauner
This was so so so good and fun!

This is was long and had occasional pacing issues but I’m SO GLAD I finally got to see it and on the big screen!
As someone who loves storytelling and world-building and who grew up as a HUGE mythology geek, I really liked this!
Looking forward to seeing some of these characters again!!!
This is… not great!
Ahead of the French Presidential Election next year (May 2022), this is THE English-newsletter to help you understand the landscape!
