This week, I've been:
- Struck with delicious dread after seeing Robert Eggers' Nosferatu in the cinema,
- Re-visiting a dear old friend, Queensrÿche's 1988 opus Operation: Mindcrime, steeped in 80s metal hoke, but delightfully listenable and, if you allow it to sink in, eerily relevant,
- Ruminating on the 4+ years of toxic media to come, and in looking for coping strategies, finding:
- Ezra Klein's interview with Chris Hayes to offer a useful framework for "attention as a commodity",
- Joey Einerhand's overview of RSS feeds to be an inspiring nudge back into curated feed-based consumption and highly relevant to a post I've been mulling over for weeks,
- Investigating (without any intriguing results yet), OpenAI's new scheduled tasks feature for ChatGPT,
- Bookmarking two helpful resources for:
- Using
