The prompt for this AI-generated image was “a mother duck and her ducklings are standing on the sidewalk at the end of a crosswalk. their crosswalk light is flashing the word ‘WAIT’ at them as cars zoom past.” But I now think all crossing lights should say “WAT” instead.

Like I said in September, “I want to be as excited to write this newsletter as I was to make the Follow Friday podcast that preceded it. It’s not there yet.”

Collecting internet miscellanea and sharing it here is fun, but it takes a lot of time to do that well, and it’s time for me to take a break and focus on some other projects. I’ve left Twitter and Reddit in the past year, and it’s been about five years since I left Instagram and Facebook … I am still posting short movie reviews on Letterboxd, so follow me there!

Anyway, I never regretted any of those decisions, but I strongly suspect I will be back to newsletter-writing. So stay subscribed, because I might drop back into your inbox in time with some fun surprises.

In the meantime, here a few of my all-time favorite newsletters, which you should also follow!

What I Learned at Podcast Movement Evolutions
Not including the fact that I am too old for nightclubs with loud DJs (I already knew that).

What I Learned at Podcast Movement Evolutions
Should podcasters fact-check?
Plus: Succession impressions, In-N-Out's super-secret menu, and two wonderful podcasts about music.
