In April, some guy with about 2,000 followers popped up on TikTok who labeled himself as “The Next Harry Styles” and a “Model, Singer, CEO of a Watch Company all while having a full time finance job paying 6 figures” and I haven’t looked away since. A few weeks later, I saw him making a TikTok outside Cafe Select and asked for a selfie and he graciously approved without batting an eye like a seasoned celeb which was amazing. I am in a 30+ person MTW Fan club group chat and I attended his first show in the East Village that was insane. I bought a $35 signed shirt. I can’t really explain it anymore (and never will be able to) but you’ve got to check out his videos.

there i was, staring in awe at George Seurat’s “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte,” until i was interrupted by a woman and her son walking right in front of the painting and talking loudly. so now i’m pissed and about to leave, but then this dude walks towards me and stands right next to me. he seems familiar, but i can’t put my finger on where i’ve seen him. until the loud woman and child join him and i realize it’s MatPat and that’s his wife and child. I was never a big Game Theory watcher, but my brother and close friend are huge fans so i’ve seen his face and heard his voice consistently for years and i was very starstruck. i almost said something and asked for a picture to show my friend, but i decided to just let them be normal people enjoying their day with their kid. and then he walked away and i thought that was the last time i’d be in a room with him.
i make my way to the opposite side of the museum, and it turns out we were taking the same route because as soon as i get there, MatPat appears! so yes, i absolutely eavesdropped on them for several minutes. they were super nice to their kid and were asking him thoughtful questions about the art and a fan ended up seeing him and asking for a photo and he was really cool about it (which made me regret not asking for one but at that point it would’ve been awkward as hell) and then they left the end.
below is a photo my friend had me get because she didn’t believe me as i was frantically texting her that he was standing a foot away from me. loving the paw patrol backpack

william is an absolute sweetie pie and one of my favorite comedians/artists right now. highly recommended his current project which documents his quest for eradicating atheism from the world. it is fantastic and attracting a lot of confusion! i think he is a genius but i am also a vip member of car world (his fallen cult) so of course i do

U can sit in the hottest sauna in the city then go smoke a nice cigarette (or joint if u smoke kush) and wash it all down with a nice foreign beer and hot borscht soup. cold plunge smells a lil funky but it's worth it

great documentary that follows a legendary kid named Billy around in his hometown in Maine. Directed by casting goat Jennifer Venditti.

Don’t get me wrong - the Crypto/NFT bro culture thing is truly one of the worst and most bizzare corners of the world to me but in high school I bought a quarter pound of kush off of the Silk Road using bitcoin. (I split it with friend of the newsletter, Walter Pearce) The price of Bitcoin was 120ish dollars in 2013 and If I didn’t get that dark web zaza it would have been worth $800,000 at the peak last year. That’s expensive kush. (Adjacent recommendation - don’t smoke kush)
