Morning Coffee

Is it time for an 8th continent? AI imagines alien lands (same). Here is your stoplight based art for the day. Signless signs. Let’s all take a deep dive into the world of christian vinyl.

With ICE raids a daily and terrifying reality, how do we stop spreading false rumors of them? Maybe we can just refreeze the Arctic? Yeah but what did Winston Churchill think about aliens? Catch me here dreaming of great staircases…

It would certainly appear that things are falling apart even faster than we could have imagined, so hey how about some underwater photography? And you may ask yourself “what is the history of fingernail clipping?” Geophysics through ancient pottery. What…

Meanwhile, checking in on the end of the world, if you’ve somehow missed WaPo’s article about what the Justice Department knew you need to fix that right now (because this shouldn’t end with the resignation). Also: Richard Spicer has always…

We all need a little vintage satanism from time to time. Admittedly we should probably all be living in earthship houses. Envisioning the Europa lander. Here are all of the Sci-Fi corridors you could possibly hope for today. And now…

Everything is still terrible but at least we might have a new hammerhead shark. What is life but a waterfall of lava cascading into the ocean? Failed Architecture explores the Thames Estuary. This sort of thing hurts my head: what…

The increase of political engagement has lead to the rebirth of the fax. Everything is bleak, but hey we found water in the atmosphere of one of Jupiter’s exoplanets. Our mythology needs fewer gardens and more shipwrecks. Searching for the…

Today in the dystopia: here come the giant laser magnifying glass weapons. Unbuilt Robert Moses. No, you aren’t living in a hologram (probably). Yes, we all used to be ass-less sea bags (probably). Time to go hide out in a…

It’s hard to find the balance between not letting this column get over taken by anger with the world and our new administration and not wanting to look like I have my blinders on. Thank you for your patience while…
