Here’s the talk I gave yesterday at Na Píobairí Uilleann in Dublin all about The Session. True to the title, I played some notes on my mandolin to accompany the narrative.
Finished reading: The Last Contract of Isako by Fonda Lee. Fantastic. Great world-building, viewpoint switch, and just the right plot surprises. 📚
Love the detail of using these bricks instead of just white paint. The workers put a lot of extra time into cutting everything just right.
Daveigh Chase has passed away. She was Lilo in Lilo & Stitch, Chihiro in Spirited Away, and also in Donnie Darko. Andreas Deja blogged about working with her:
Working on the character of Lilo was a profoundly moving experience for me as an animator. Daveigh’s voice performance was utterly unique and inspired, presenting a brand-new challenge and the perfect opportunity to bring an unorthodox Disney girl to life.
It’s hard to imagine how someone went from that experience — a movie that will be remembered for a hundred years — to such a low point of personal struggles, even homelessness.

Kevin Roose blogged today about his history with The New York Times and the decision to end the Hard Fork podcast:
The Times has been a great home for Hard Fork — and a great home for me, for many years before that — but as Casey and I discussed the future of the show, we realized that what we really wanted was to start a company together, and build something we would own.
Looking forward to what they do next!
