Links - Hitting Send
I’ve lost track of keeping track
of good links and this draft post
has been sitting here since January,
so I’m “hitting send.”
https://www.instagram.com/dusttodigital/?hl=en
https://greecepodcast.libsyn.com/51-anacyclosis-polybius-grand-unified-theory-of-history
https://finals.blog/posts/An-Interview-with-Jaime-Brooks and also https://jaimebrooks.substack.com/p/what-is-prestige
https://www.joshuawcotter.com/words/notes-on-an-appeal-for-help
Links
https://www.themarginalian.org/2022/10/04/escher-bach-rachel-carson/ - Around a year ago I read a book about Escher after years of thinking “should I read about Escher?” Is that corny? It wasn’t a great book, but it was a satisfying and stimulating and interesting. I wish I had been taught math using stuff like Escher and taught art with more emphasis on the math. I took a lot of notes, in my “Book Notes” notebooks, and hope to get around to posting them sometime.
https://tedgioia.substack.com/p/academic-publishing-and-the-death - White jazz expert writes a post about academic publishing, takes a long way around, etc., but I wanted to link to it to say as a fellow author I noticed how he brought up his own book in passing and was even like “look how affordable it is!”
https://www.etymonline.com/columns/post/snakes-of-iceland “Perhaps the whole episode suggests some thing ineffably English. You can decide that.” This got me to order Glossary of Greek Fishes interlibrary.
Links
https://mediahist.org/ - A free online resource, featuring millions of pages of books and magazines from the histories of film, broadcasting, and recorded sound.
https://stratechery.com/2022/meta-meets-microsoft/ - Terrifying, plausible that Microsoft will be the one who succeeds with VR/AR.
https://fieldnotes.christopherbrown.com/p/squatters-of-the-metaverse-with-butterflies
Living in a place like this has helped me realize, as a lawyer, how profoundly our system of real property law is stacked against the natural order, and what a tall order it is to try to reinvigorate the idea of the commons in the face of public and private institutions addicted to the accumulation of surplus from the land they occupy. It has also helped me see with stark clarity the challenges in balancing the need to provide housing for our fellow humans with the need to leave room for our animal and plant neighbors, on a planet whose habitable space seems to be rapidly diminishing.
https://panelsandprose.com/2022/10/30/the-nebbs-the-social-realism-of-a-mid-list-sitcom/ - “The Nebbs illustrates how the conventions of the domestic comic strip visualized a tension between personal and social lives, self and society, that spoke to the complexities of modern American experience that was singular in American art and clearly invaluable to readers.”
Links - Marks, Grids, Lists
https://www.futilitycloset.com/2022/08/06/a-stretch/ - Evolution uses a grid, maybe, with fish.
https://www.tcj.com/sempe-fidelis-jean-jacques-sempe-1932-2022 - RIP Sempé (see also). I’ve always been in awe of his work, and his cartooning tricks.
https://followmehere.com/ - Rediscovered this great blog thanks to…
https://www.pseudopodium.org/loglist.html - on which !!! I am incredibly honored to see that this blog added to this blogroll. This collection of blogs, assembled by Ray Davis and in this smart format, gave me so much to read and think about and was a kind of education-lifeline, mid-2000s era and beyond, as I was working at the StL Sci Center and in my postgrad postXplane bewildering newly St. Louisian days. It was my postgrad studies, in a sense! Then came Google Reader, and later Feedly (which I still use) and I drifted away, this no longer a daily check-in, a homepage. “Worth a bookmark.” (When people say they’re “chuffed”…?! What is that? So weird. “Chuffed to be featured on your links page.”) **(Testing, does this link work? I don’t use Feedly’s “board” feature that much, but maybe I’ll start updating that more often?)
https://awfullibrarybooks.net/satans-mark-exposed/ - Satan’s mark, exposed.
Links - Back from Vermont
https://bluebed.net/ Which cartoonists have the best websites? Liana F and Roman M have substacks.
https://nintil.com/critiques-ea The argument itself doesn’t interest me but I’m interested in the FORMAT of the post at the link, and like to see more of that kind of thing, the green and red and yellow boxes. I’d like to try this out. It makes me think of this:
DFW, a cool format, but see here for big thumbs down
https://michaelhobbes.substack.com/p/the-bleak-spectacle-of-the-amber Heard-Depp trial borderlands.
https://ava.substack.com/p/against-narratives Didion here and also see here for Know Your Enemy on Didion.
I also enjoyed Blanchfield on KYE here re: Freud & Politics and here re: guns.
https://www.laetusinpraesens.org/pdfs/2010s/globes_2018.pdf This is one of the most insane essays I’ve seen in a while. I came across that guy’s website and was like hmmm? and then I saw this (giant) essay. “Proscenium design often has an extraordinary degree of suggestion of vaginal anatomy.” Is this satire? I apologize for even linking to this.
https://ventrellathing.wordpress.com/2015/07/26/yes-the-future-can-change-the-present-on-terrance-deacons-incomplete-nature/ I have a saved search for “Terrence Deacon” on Twitter and I try to follow up on anyone who posts about him. That lead me to this link. In this short post I think he blurs brains/minds, and he connects it all to entrepreneurship, but I forgive it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Rogers Learning about Carl Rogers. Also I tried to watch this crazy boring yet fascinating video.
There’s a lot to listen to here. See here for more. Uploads of old deeply out of print in-between sounds.
I listened to this podcast (it doesn’t matter what it’s about) on the drive to Vermont and it was pretty good.
What Are We Subscribing To? -Substacks (unpaid)
I thought it would be interesting to list subscriptions I currently hold, and useful, in the mode of good ole “links” pages, but it’s turned out to be difficult to put it together, in the sense of more work than I thought it would be. (see comments for tech talk)
So, I’ll do it piecemeal as separate blog entries, all tagged.
These DO NOT COUNT AS ENDORSEMENTS. I read a lot of people and publications that I disagree with, on a spectrum from “I don’t know if I’m on board with this…” to “This seems wrong and harmful…”
Also these change a lot. Every few months I delete a few I can’t stand anymore, and I’m adding new ones all the time—too many, probably. The “substack” is a thing, now, as “blogs” and “group blogs” etc. and “tumblr" etc. had their moment before falling prey to the churn. I plan to do other posts with blogs and other categories in the future but no promises.
I’m interested in comments about these and what you have been reading—comments are open.

Dad/Jokes Link Dump
Attention Conservation Notice, some random links, not even important ones, just to keep posting muscles working.
Forestry Dept. https://www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2022/06/17/dom-phillips-brazil-dies/ Amazon rainforest reporter is murdered. Also see.
Classic Rock Dept. https://twitter.com/adamkotsko/status/1538256476409667585 I always thought the part where the harmony comes in on Ventura Boulevard was a ref. to the song Ventura Highway by America but I now see that they are separate roads…but is it still possible, this connection?
Classic Lit Dept. I am of course not a dad but when you get old and boring like me, you get interested in things that a younger you would have had no time for, distracted as you were by etc. Now I start looking more and more at, like, boring old Walt Whitman or weird old William Blake, so predictable and :rolls eyes: or like Bach or whatever, classic Dad hobbies, whatever, but then, also, when you’re my age, you’re kind of disappointed and dismayed to see that it’s all online for free, etc, yawn. I’ll get a book from a used bookstore? I’ve always meant to read that WJT Mitchell book about Blake (is it good?) or I’ll download this stuff from a Russian bit torrent site. Then it will really come alive. http://www.blakearchive.org/
My Nostalgia is Important to Me and Also Harmless Dept. https://the-gershomite.tumblr.com/post/687261779005440001/bone-19-by-jeff-smith-1995-11-20-of-20 Critical discourse that goes like: “but have you really looked at [forgotten neglected culture from my teenage years]?!” This tumblr posts a ton of pages of comics several times a day from a wide variety of things, amazing to think about the “curation,” tight or loose, of these blogs that have been steadily posting comics and adjacent for years. The whole Pinterest or Tumblr thing where you post your aesthetic can be powerful as it builds up over 10 plus years. Related, I continue to enjoy these comics review posts by Lars I. even when I disagree (which is not often but does happen.)

Links and Relax-o-mendations
KYE on Buckley - picks up at the end.
Cabin by The Relentless Picnic -finally caught up on this, ten long episodes, of a favorite podcast. A lot to chew over, stew, Thoreau, Ted Kazcynski, our Modern Condition, the further adventures of. (A lot of podcasts lately, ramping up end of the winter madness and cleaning up—some new podcasts…to me. The themes that (for some deep, dark, mysterious reasons) are emerging: try to be cheerful, use structures, play serious games, remember to concentrate on good relationships with your friends and family (if possible) but relax! no pressure...

Amazing Long Series of Blogposts about Coloring in Comics
William James’ Pink Pajamas (Enjoyed this a lot! by Alicia Puglionesi at the Public Domain Review)
I’m in the middle of Joe Sacco’s Paying The Land and really enjoying it. Recommended!! Notice how he draws eyes. Weird! It’s consistent, often clearly looking in to the light/camera. His drawing is incredible in this book. The story itself is the main thing, though, and an incredible tale of Canada.
The way Segar was translated into French, in terms of design and publishing, is sure weird! I like it, even though the Frechness of it at times is too French, if that makes sense? I can’t speak to the actual translation translation, but who knows, probably “Let’s you and him fight” is funny in French, too. I’ll write an essay about it someday…maybe… Several old French Segar Popeyes can be read clicking around at this link.
January 2022 Links
On the necessity of ending fossil fuel companies, usage, extraction, all of it -Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists
Thanks to fossil fuels, billions of people in 2022 enjoy lives of wealth, comfort, and material possessions unimaginable before the industrial revolution.
But fossil fuels have their dark side. You might think you understand that, but it’s likely fossil fuels are even worse for the world than you think. Let’s start with climate change. Contrary to what you might hear listening to Fox News, the scientific understanding of climate change is good and it is progressing at exactly the rate predicted decades ago by Exxon.
What you probably don’t realize is how massive these changes may be.
On writing -Alec Nevala-Lee
The quote below, I don’t know if I agree…? but it stood out to me to think about, as I was reading and critiquing a first draft of something for someone)
When you’ve finished your initial pass on an extended writing project, the result is less meaningful in itself than as a source of data about the stage to come.
On Bob DeMoor -BDZoom post with a lot of images.
When I was in Belgium years ago I bought a softcover album of De Schat Van Baekelandt and I look at it all the time, and so I was looking around the sites for early Bob DeMoor images. I don’t know very much about European comics, to be honest I don’t care that much, but I need stuff to get inspired by and to swipe. I like the idea of them. Sometimes that’s enough. Bob DeMoor is obviously like Herge but stiffer, weirder. Johan and Stefan albums seem right up my alley, and I’m not really interested in the Blake and Mortimer stuff, though sure, whatever, it’s cool…
Scientist’s Warning on Affluence -Nature
For over half a century, worldwide growth in affluence has continuously increased resource use and pollutant emissions far more rapidly than these have been reduced through better technology.
Paper Website (interesting by itself, and instance of what we used to call “meta” … but now that it is a company, what will we call this? I suppose “alphabet” is still fine.)
My habit of reading widely and ravenously now strikes me as less a credit than a crutch with each passing year that introduces some new technology surrounded by complex language designed to enrich a small conversant few and bar the majority from the conversation. (link)

Time Capsule Sunday Reading Links 1/1/2016
The Current Problems at the ShopsThe problems being articulated to me are the following:
- DC’s prices are too low
- Customers disappearing
- Customers are switching to tpbs/book format
- Customers don’t like Marvel’s output
- Rising cost of doing business
- Diamond credit crackdown
Let’s do this by the numbers.
Cyber Panic - The current panic uses a definition of hacking that rates very low on the scale of cyberattacks, and blurs the line between actual security breaches and the dissemination of political propaganda.
