Yet another collage from '90s Wired magazines.
I liked the oranges and greens together, mostly.

The closest I'll ever come to blogging.
Yet another collage from '90s Wired magazines.
I liked the oranges and greens together, mostly.

Just a few that have come up over the past couple days
Collage: New York Times 21 August 2026

I found Friday's New York Times lying on the sidewalk while walking the dog yesterday, so I took it home and cut it up.
In particular, a Van Clief ad with golden birds and a (deservedly) grumpy review of Franz caught my attention.

I made this knob-looking set of text masks over a random selection of text from a transcript of this Congressional AI hearing from last year, while I watched the hearing. It's amazing (but not at all surprising) the extent to which the industry is controlling so much of the narrative around how it is integrated into society. The mask moves at 15 degrees each screenshot, which is just enough to ensure the full circle is revealed by these twelve masks.
Here's each mask, in order, if you'd like to check them out more closely.












Mid-century starlet with ground chuck and greens

From a 1940s Life and a '90s Wired. All of the greens!
