I’m really glad the minimalist drawing aesthetic where everyone performs as awkward and inept for Honesty Points but is in reality a different kind of awkward and inept and mostly stunting their growth towards self-understanding by playing at a different form of inadequacy than their own is over. I’m glad XKCD is gone and Randall Munroe has become a monk

Every time I feel tempted to snark about XKCD or other contemporary Science!-brand humor product I try to remind myself that it’s actually quite an improvement over the last generation of uncley science humor.

Even “only nerds people with access to wikipedia will get this” references are better humor than cheesy puns and gimcrack wordplay; this greater stock of viable premises and the ensuing pressure to get ever more obscure leads to the deployment of more interesting science; and the melancholic sense of potential unfulfilled combined with the awkwardly unprompted sentiment that smart 15 year old girls are pretty cool, possibly cooler even than smart 15 year old boys, is uncley as fuck.

Patlabor, maybe? It’s about a police mecha unit but manages to be about 50% wistful workplace slice-of-life by weight.

Have I ever told you guys about the time I went to the AdultFriendFinder Christmas party, up in the Hollywood Hills? Walked in and it was like “ooh, cool, a bunch of Giger prints. No, wait, Giger paintings.“ Bunch of sculptures by the Tool guy, too.

Most professional, competently thrown event I’ve ever seen. Also, Mystery, the VH1 PUA, was there. It’s really true, he’s absurdly charismatic in person. Just quietly sitting slumped in a patio chair, no one there could resist looking over at him every minute or so. And we’re talking a crowd mostly of porn stars and industry guys that work with them every day.

(the guys were exactly like you’d expect - steroid cases who do on-camera work and greasy ratfaces who don’t)

Sitting in a bar in Missoula, watching Animal Planet. The rebranding of white in place of red as the outdoorsy, nature-skills race is perhaps the most interesting development in recent American race relations.
