2 AMAZING limited series on HBO Max. Chernobyl is probably one of the most impressive and scary shows I’ve watched in a while. Watchmen is comic book related but you dont have to read it to get into it. Both offer different kinds of horror and drama. If you like anime watch the 2002 version of Ghost in The Shell Stand Alone Complex, Adult Swim provided partial funding for the show so you can watch it there. If HBO and The Wire’s David Simon ever made an anime it’s probably that.

Tokyo Ghoul is one of the coooolest animes that I wouldn’t necessarily call horror, but goes into some psychologically dark places. It’s on Hulu, absolutely loved this show.
I still think The Ring is all my time favorite horror movie. Early 2000’s, crime thriller energy but DEF will scratch the horror itch without some of the sexually disturbing stuff you often find with that combo

its not a film but a great animated horror detective anime
fair warning it can be a bit gore-y
and i personally found the seasons after season 1 lack luster

Artist Rachel Rossin introduced me to this anime series from 1998. Serial Experiments Lain is an early cyberpunk mystery (that predates and heavily influences The Matrix) where the online and offline worlds blur in strange and unexpected ways. The show has some really beautiful art direction and points at today’s “extremely-online” social alienation with incredible foresight.

Everything in your life does not have to be subscription based, and subscription does not equate a service being good. If I’m paying $24.99 a month to watch Netflix in 4K UHD, I should expect to see what I pay for, not subpar playback latency, low bitrate streams, many app crashes, and overall looking terrible on anything that isn’t a 4K display.
Remember when you could buy things and own them, like, forever?
There is a better world out there past Netflix, Hulu, Spotify and Amazon Prime.

You don’t have to tell everyone everything in/about your life, especially online, in today’s online yet frequently data-breached world. Like the great Christopher Wallace once said: Keep your family and business completely separated

I have a near-Biblical dislike of Allbirds shoes and every other Tim Cook Jeff Bezos Middle-aged Balding Pickleball coach ass shoe out there for convincing the public that these were in any way cool. No dude, you look like a loser with these. They look bland and lifeless, like they were concocted in the same boardroom that made the flat graphic design trend that Meta and Google love so much. Hell, even notorious ip-infringer Skechers makes better looking shoes than these. They don’t even feel good to wear. They have no soul or personality and yet some people swear by them. Who are these shoes for?
