I used to work in Manhattan as an “art handler” which means you move art around for people. One of my coworkers went on to become a successful fine artist. He mostly paints these things called “Night Car.” Its very very fun to look at. It’s fine art so basically you either understand it or you are a troglodyte. I can’t afford any of the paintings but he did make me a tiny cheeseburger as a gift one time which is just as good to me because it has a beautiful story.

I have been collecting art my entire adult life, starting from my days 20 years ago as a student at RISD. When I see something I love, I do not hesitate to buy it. At this point, my walls have no room for more art, but that does not stop me when the art is really good. I am obsessed with my latest art purchases, these prints by LA artist Nick Pini. Abstract figures rendered with digital charcoal, giving me all the right energy and attitude. I bought Caught This For You and No Nightmares No Dreams because I instantly connected with them. I framed one of them in this Neon pink frame and it’s perfection. Ok now I want to go buy more...gotta go!

buy your friends art or buy a strangers art. not the mass produced stuff but that weird little sketch or painting or whatever. support folks, sometimes you find out 20 years later that someone was in the whitney biennial and you have one of their drawings from when they were a teenager and that’s pretty cool. buy stuff for $25 or $2000 or whatever you can afford - give your money to artists when you can!

I was walking on Haight and Ashbury in San Francisco in 2020, dooming about what that place was probably like in the 60s and how cooked it is 60 years later, when I saw these amazing paintings and sculptures in the window of the RVCA store. I was surprised because I had never imagined liking something in the RVCA store, but walked in and discovered this very talented artist. Her paintings, then and still, use color and texture in the best way and are so beautiful to me. I looked her up on instagram and DMd her asking if she ever sold her work. She said they were $500 and up. I couldn’t scrap that together at the time, but fuck, I really wish I had, because now she’s art world famous and I’ll likely never be able to afford something of hers again. Trust your gut

It stands for Voice of the Report of the Week. That’s the guy from YouTube that reviews fast food in a suit. I’m not very interested in fast food but I find the individual behind the reviews interesting, relatable, and refreshing. So this is his podcast. The latest episode is over 4 hours long and consists of him talking to himself about various topics. I’ve become inspired by it and now I do my own talk-to-yourself style podcasts behind a paywall for my Fan Club.

I can tell when someone doesn’t floss. Everyone should be flossing. It’s terribly important for intimacy and even basic friendships. These are the 5 things in life I am most excited about.

You can inject stuff into your fat layer that is made in a lab but your body thinks it made it itself and it basically is like hacking your body. Have you ever noticed that a famous athlete will tear an “ACL” or something similar that would put you out for six months but they are back in a matter of weeks. Well they are getting injected with BPC-157 and they heal 5x faster than normal. Suzanne Somers is 76 and her husband is ten years older but they have sex 3 times a day because they are injecting PT-141. Epitalon makes rats live 25% longer by lengthening their telomeres, which lets your cells replicate for longer or something. Basically if you inject it into your body you are supposed to live longer like a rat. There are like a million different peptides out there and none of it is regulated as long as they say “not for human consumption” on them. It’s probably the future of medicine and right now it’s the Wild Wild West, like before the government banned LSD.
