No One Save Us

Almost a decade later, I decided to resurrect this piece, inject some dismal contemporary urban scenes mixed with spoken words portraying the utter hopelessness of life on the edge with the realization… read more

Gramophone Awards 2026

Altruism Beyond Reciprocity: Sex, Time, and the Cultural Mediation of Prosociality

## Abstract This essay examines a thesis that circulates increasingly in both academic and popular discourse: that men exhibit a distinctive form of altruism — unconditional, indifferent to reciprocal benefit, oriented toward the long term and toward future generations — and that contemporary… read more

All kinds of photography are awesome. Let me know, which one is your favourite?

Garden of the Gods

Road trip long weekend. On my way to the Garden of the Gods & the Shawnee Nat’l Forest for a long weekend of hiking with one of my Meet Up hiking groups.

The Anderson Collection

I haven’t been to any art museums lately, but was going through my photos and found hundreds of pics from The Anderson Collectionnat Stanford. Easily my fave small contemporary art museum. Incredible collection including Pollock, Rothko, Diebenkorn, Kline, and Frankenthaler. I’m on Stanford once a… read more

Louise Nevelsen

The reason I got into contemporary and modern art is Louise Nevelson, and her pieces of awesome assemblage. This one is from my favorite place in the whole wide world: MoMA.

Any suggestions for contemporary kinda heavy prog metal bands with clean vocals? For reference I’m a huge Dream Theater fan. I like some concept albums… my favorite is the Human Equation by Ayreon but I typically stay away from stuff that is too theatrical. So process that info and have at it!

Gaming

For years now, there’s been a persistent rumor within the game development industry: that console players are becoming progressively less skilled, and therefore increasingly dependent on simplifications and assistance systems. Features like extensive hand-holding tutorials, heavy aim assist, auto… read more

Graphic description

Hey, I run a book group. Next month I wanted to mix it up by choosing a graphic novel. A classic, like Maus, Ghost World, Persepolis etc but maybe a bit more contemporary and not too expensive (can't expect my group to be forking out too much). Anyone have any good suggestions?

Why Look At Animals?

An animal rights exhibition in National Contemporary Art Gallery in Athens. There were really amazing moments inside.

Some contemporary Hawaiian food

I grew up in Hawaii, so my go-to's when I cook tend to be some kalua pork, mochiko chicken, spam musubi, and kimchi fried rice for good measure 😅. Trying to branch out and learn more Asian cuisine and other things.

Marty Supreme (2025/English/ In Cinemas)

What could have been a nail-biting cinematic fare ends up as a part-disappointment. Loosely based on the American Table-Tennis player Martin Reisman, the film focuses on his formative years, where he goes from a shoe-selling salesman to a successful player, where he has to defeat his Japanese… read more

John Adams

On this day of 1947, John Adams was born in Worcester, Massachusetts.

LACMA

Up late writing

Working on my the latest project for my ttrpg, I've published a core rulebook, couple of quickstart scenario books and now the first of campaign books. They're all about the Mythic world around us. Do you like stories that mesh old and new myths into contemporary settings?

Starting over to binge today.

I never finished. Got Spotify playing some contemporary classical and reading about my boy Noh from the jump. 😤 (edited)

Hollywood Blockbusters Of 2025:

The Roses (Jio Hotstar): This black comedy film is a winner all the way. A very well-layered and crisp screenplay (Tony McNamara) and powerful direction (Jay Roach) showcase a dynamic couple who relocate from England to the US, after which ego takes over love, resulting in a massive drift between… read more

Couple Friendly (Telugu and Tamil/ 2026/ Prime)

Relatable, breezy and cute. The film revolves around two jobless youngsters who gel along with the skill that one of them possesses. But what weighs them down is their nourishment and the pursuit of coming forward. The film scores more because of its characters, which are contemporary and… read more

During the Golden Age of Piracy, some crews practiced matelotage, a French term meaning something like “shipmate marriage.” Two sailors entered a legal-style partnership. They shared money, food, and property. If one died, the other inherited his share. This wasn’t rumor or satire. Matelotage… read more

To be Zen...

... Contemporary dating is weird... A 69 turns into a 96 faster than your toes curling. Before barely even experiencing a 77... heck even a 22 is easier to get than... Head-Ek! ... Obviously be expecting too much for 1 on 1's to even be a possibility at this point... 👽 yet...

Protest the Hero's new album is OUT!!!

Any Protest or Prog Metal fans here? What did you think! Some extremely contemporary and vulnerable takes in this short album, The Orchard is definitely an all-timer up there with Animal Bones, Mist and Skies for me. When your favourite band explores themselves deeper, it's hard to not just gush… read more
