+- "The future hinges on our ability to both reform the current system and create a new one that genuinely serves the best interests of humanity. To achieve this, we must break down data silos to encourage collaboration, create market conditions in which a diversity of options thrive to fuel creativity, and shift away from polarising content to an environment shaped by a diversity of voices and perspectives that nurture empathy and understanding." [Tim Berners-Lee on the web's 35th birthday.](https://webfoundation.org/2024/03/marking-the-webs-35th-birthday-an-open-letter/)
+- [Steven Soderbergh's year in reading.](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/12/books/review/steven-soderberghs-year-in-reading.html)
+- This _Interview_ magazine conversation between [David Dastmalchian and Trent Reznor](https://www.interviewmagazine.com/film/how-david-dastmalchian-and-trent-reznor-tamed-their-demons) is pretty great.
+- The art of [Sutherland Macdonald](https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/sutherland-macdonald-tattoos/), Victorian England’s “Michelangelo of Tattooing.”
+- Marian Schembari on the [great joy of returning to your childhood hobbies](https://cupofjo.com/2024/03/12/singing-as-adult/).

+### Reading/Watching/Listening

+- A little late to the party, but Victor LaValle's [_Lone Women_](https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/f264da3a-9961-43a1-b095-1166ec57f5a1) is straight-up fantastic.
+- I got my pre-ordered copy of Hailey Piper's [_Cranberry Cove_](https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/cd0e52f7-8f66-448e-9ced-303565cfe657), which I enjoyed very much. I'm a big fan of supernaturally horrific crime/noir fiction, I'd like to see more of it.
+- Continuing my journey through books about walking, I read [_Wanderlust: A History of Walking_](https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/90d958bd-da10-49ba-b7bc-2c495f2e3da2) by Rebecca Solnit. This is a modern classic of the walking essay genre and for a good reason. History and commentary and idealism all at once.
+- [_Love Lies Bleeding_](https://letterboxd.com/film/love-lies-bleeding-2024/) is awesome. I was a fan of the director's debut feature, [_Saint Maud_](https://letterboxd.com/film/saint-maud/), which has quite a different vibe; but _Love Lies Bleeding_ is an even stronger film.
+- In my humble opinion, [_Late Night with the Devil_](https://letterboxd.com/film/late-night-with-the-devil/) rules.
+- And, to wind down, I greatly enjoyed Wim Wenders's quiet, affirming character study, [_Perfect Days_](https://letterboxd.com/film/perfect-days-2023/).
+- I have a ticket to see legendary metal band Girlschool when they're in my town soon, will my over-40 self actually make it there, let's see!
