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

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!!! boxd.itThis is… not great!

Happy 10th Birthday to ‘The Verge’
Monday, November 1, 2021
Happy first decade to The Verge, arguably one of the most important tech media publication of the past decade! I remember how innovative they were from the very start! ”The Verge predates Alexa and the entire concept of Netflix original programming. We are older than Google Photos, Timehop, and Peloton; we launched with a glossy story on the first Nest thermostat. The very first Oculus VR prototype was shown to us in a Las Vegas parking lot.Respectfully, Facebook — now Meta— and Zuck can all fuck off, now!
New James Blake alert!

Korean Movie night

One of the many perks living in Paris: I’ve got an all-you-can-eat pass to go to the cinema! This evening I was planning an outing to an art house theater which was planning to show a 35mm screening of Sympathy for Lady Vengeance however their 35mm projector is down. So as a backup they’re showing The Host — which was also in my list…Fellow Sports Fans, this is your mandatory weekend reading sorted!
Happy John Mayer release day!

Anyone who knows me well should know that I’m a sucker for a good late night talk show, so this weekend read about Conan O’Brien’s farewell was just what I needed 🤗📺
I’m old now
Absolutely loved reading @LaurenzCollins' feature piece about @OmarSy (@Netflix’s #Lupin) in @NewYorker. It’s about the actor, the show, but also so much more about French society and modern history today!
The immediate follow-up for me now is to think about Micro.blog vs DayOne vs Tumblr (also an Automattic acquisition)
For the use that I personally have, all of these have inter-connections…

US v Europe, an allegory
The people around us have been very impressed with my wife’s complete change of career. She’s going live in a few days with another fellow creative (@britt_mgreene) for a session about just that.
