I'm so excited to share that my undergrad thesis is now published @UF & available online for free. Hope it makes you as passionate about old movies and an imaginary idealized America as I am. "The Golden Age of America As Created in Hays Code Era Movies" ufdc.ufl.edu/AA00089095/000…

BECAUSE youre a guy who works in tech, who builds AI, and who writes a newsletter and Ben Affleck is a CREATIVE AND A STORYTELLER and THATS EXACTLY how we know that AI CANT REPLACE WRITERS and create what you THINK it can. Jesus, do you get it now???

9 months. 100+ rolls of film. The honor of a lifetime. Here are my favorite shots of the Zohran campaign.

I've got absolutely nothing going on right now, but I do sometimes write about my film and non-film interests on Substack. Subscribe (I'd love to subscribe back and read your stuff!) voyageofmine.substack.com

Tech companies are succeeding in making us think of life itself as inconvenient and something to be continuously escaping from, into digital padded rooms of predictive algorithms and single-tap commands: Reading is boring; talking is awkward; moving is tiring; leaving the house is daunting. These are all frictions that we can now eliminate, easily, and we do. Once we’ve adopted a habit of escaping from something, whether it’s Uber-ing dinner five nights a week or using AI for replying to texts, the act of return, which is how we might describe no longer using a tool of escape, feels full of irritating friction. In these moments, we become exactly like toddlers in the five minutes after the iPad is taken away: The dullness and labor of embodied existence is unbearable. “This is why I have resolved to commit to make 2026 a year of friction-maxxing, as an individual but more importantly as a parent,” Kathryn Jezer-Morton writes. There are some obvious places to begin your friction-maxxing journey. Stop sharing your location with your kids and your partner. Stop using ChatGPT completely. No, it does not have good ideas for meal planning. Buy a cookbook. Text your friends for advice. Go to Trader Joe’s. Invite people over to your house without cleaning it all the way up. Friction-maxxing is not simply a matter of reducing your screen time, it’s the process of building up tolerance for “inconvenience” — and then reaching even toward enjoyment. And then, it’s modeling this tolerance, followed by enjoyment and humor, for our kids. Read Jezer-Morton’s full column: nymag.visitlink.me/kIub1B

My agency (forge.coop) did the design for Zohran’s campaign. While I wish I played a part, it was all the masterful work of my partners, Aneesh and Phil. Having worked with these 2 for close to a decade, it’s no surprise they created what many consider (the most?) iconic political branding. I’ve seen Aneesh go deep into the archives of typography and color theory, and Phil spend hours custom-building animations to bring a UI to life. HYPED to see their work getting the credit it deserves.

I believe I do...

Happy birthday to the tweet of the decade

Even in a state of transience—much like life itself—there’s something deeply human about the urge to mark our place. To leave traces. Put Stuff On Your Walls (article and 📸 @KyraLieberman ) andmore.substack.com/p/put-stuff-on…
