Pluribus, House, and Loneliness
SPOILERS if you have not watched House or Pluribus!
It doesn’t matter who you are. It doesn’t matter what you do. As humans, one thing is certain: we need each other.
I saw Pluribus over the winter break. It was great (go figure, Vince Gilligan made it). It centers around Carol Sturka, the most miserable person in the world, and her journey through the “joining” of the human race, of which she was inexplicably immune to, and the process of which resulted in the death of her wife.
Why Are We Only Romantic on February 14th?
Valentine’s Day is coming. You can feel it in the air. Or maybe that’s just the smell of overpriced roses and last-minute panic-buy chocolate.
Every year on February 14th, the world collectively decides, “Yes. Today. Today is the day we prove we are in love.” As if love has a calendar reminder set once a year. Thanks, Valentine’s Day. Very efficient.
Kanye West: The Extreme Human Experience
Effectively immortalized in the world of art and creation, the story of Kanye West is woven into the folklore of my generation. His eras and albums run like an on-demand TV show; but for some, they stopped watching a couple of seasons ago.
Tired of Your Couch? Go See Some Bands This Saturday
Not sure what you’re doing this weekend, but if the plan is “sit around and refresh the same three apps,” we have an alternative. There’s a live show happening in Sacramento that gives you a reason to leave the house, hear some music, and maybe remember that people still do things in real life.
Che’s Evolution Into New-Gen Rap’s Daredevil + REST IN BASS: ENCORE Review
Che was my most listened to artist in 2025. On the Mount Rushmore of new hyper-online rappers, the shapeshifting ghoul rockstar is flourishing inside of his newly renovated punk infused throne world.
Why Winter Is So Much Better Than Summer (And No, I Will Not Be Taking Criticism)
Let’s just start with this bold but very real opinion: Winter is elite. The colder months are hands down the best time of year, and honestly, I don’t know why more people aren’t shouting it from the rooftops. Like, hello? Why would anyone willingly choose to live in a giant human toaster oven when you could be bundled up in cozy layers, sipping on a warm drink, and not sweating like you just ran a marathon doing absolutely nothing?
Let me break it down for you.
Schranz… In San Francisco…
On Halloween this year, I was fortunate enough to go to a Factory93 event at Cow Palace in San Francisco. Factory93 is a brand under Insomniac focused on techno music. As a techno fan, I knew this would be a fun event. The lineup was stacked:
- Max Gardner
- SPFDJ
- Klangkuenstler
- Dax J
- Amelie Lens
It was my first time seeing all of these DJs with the exception of Dax J, who I saw at Dour music festival in Belgium earlier this year.
“I never self-proclaimed. Never said that I’m a fashion designer. It’s just designer.” An Interview With The TOMB CEO, Jalen
Recently, I sat down with Jalen, the lead designer and founder of Tomb Clothing, following his year and a half study abroad in Korea.
It was in Korea where he found a new home – for love, for expression, for design, and for self-growth. He describes his time there with nothing but glee and a visible desire to go back.
From Our Table to Yours: What Our DJs Are Thankful For
Thanksgiving has a way of pulling us out of the rush. Between work, school, family, and everything else life throws at us, it’s easy to move so fast that we forget to slow down and appreciate what’s actually going right. But gratitude doesn’t have to be loud or grand. Most of the time, it shows up in the small moments — the check-in text you didn’t expect, the laugh that resets your whole day, or the people who make life feel a little lighter without even trying.
