Consensus seems to be that Segoe UI Black is the best font for my zine's redtop masthead.

What do you guys think of a drop shadow?

I'm trying to evoke the feeling of a supermarket tabloid passing itself off as a real newspaper. It's a parody of all those rags that are like "you can't trust the mainstream media, but you can trust us because we hate the same people you hate," but I want mine to be funny, not legitimately hateful.

Do you ever go to the store and look at the pathetic magazine selection they have nowadays? An entire rack dedicated to guns, motorcycles, home and gardens, a bunch of thick glossy ad-laden booklets dedicated to marvel or dc or harry potter or bts, whatever media property is big right now for the publisher to capitalize on. I hate them! They don't even carry National Geographic anymore, just Nat Geo Traveler, those glossy photo collections like "100 Places You'll Never Afford to Visit" and "Oceans at Sunset; Give Us a Photography Award" (not that I much care for Nat Geo anymore anyway, considering it's owned by disney now. Everything is owned by disney...)

My point is, everything has to cater to the lowest common denominator. Everything has to appeal to as wide an audience as possible; nothing is allowed to be niche anymore, because it's all about exponential profits. Doesn't matter if it has a dedicated readership, if the number doesn't go up fast enough then the publisher says it's not worth pursuing. I grew up just as magazines started to die, and I miss them.

I want The Some Times to cater to young millennials and old zoomers who grew up at the same time as I did. I want it to evoke the feeling of Nick Mag or Mad Kids, but less infantile; we're adults now, we can't go back to your childhood, but we can still feel the same joy we used to. Don't you miss physical media? Don't you miss cultivated content about your favorite shows and movies instead of the constant drip-feed of the same grayish-brown slop we get on the internet? When you were a kid, did you parents let you subscribe to your favorite magazines, or did you have to beg them to buy you the newest issues one at a time when you saw them in the store? Comics, short stories, crafts/diy projects, lifestyle and entertainment, something for everyone. Like Mad Magazine, but less annoying, or Playboy, but less disgusting.

Nothing is set in stone. This project is evolving every day.

I'll keep you posted.

"Much to the chagrin of his fans, as much as we would love to see him in a rom-com or a comedy."

Yep but probably not gonna happen.

"Back then, Michael brutally murdered Cathy’s brother and was sentenced to life in prison. But as you know, justice is not always served, and Michael gets pardoned and gets out. But nobody told Cathy about this." 

This is the outline of what supposedly happened but two episodes in and I'm still really none the wiser about how he died and exactly how was Michael involved? Also, being pedantic justice was served, he wasn't pardoned, he did his time. He's entitled to be a free man and get on with his life, that's kind of how the justice process works, he also didn't admit to killing him which meant he served longer than normal, so definitely no pardon.

[240301] ATEEZ for Nikkei Entertainment Magazine

[somethingusefulfromflorida]

Zine content

My original plan was for my zine to be a spiritual successor to Weekly World News, a parody tabloid that exclusively ran those nonsense stories you'd see in X-Files and Men in Black, "Local Woman in Menage-a-Trois With Bigfoot," "Aliens Stole my Carburetor," "Elvis Lives, Makes a Living Impersonating Himself in Vegas," that sort of thing, straight up comedy, but as the project evolved I decided I wanted it to be more than just sensationalist headlines. I want it to invoke the feeling I got from reading magazines in the early 2000s, before the medium evaporated. I grew up on Nick Mag and Mad Kids, my sisters had celebrity gossip teen zines, so I want my zine to appeal to young millennials and old zoomers who grew up right at the same time as we did, right when our magazines of choice all closed up shop, 2005 to 2012ish, around that time. I don't want it to be a zine for kids, I want it to feel as though those old magazines grew up with their audiences; what if Nick Mag were still around today but aimed at 20-somethings?

I want my zine to be somewhere between the puerile Mad Kids and the monotonous Mad (Mad is like SNL, I'm sure it used to be good and clever, but now it's a hollow facsimile of itself trying desperately to stay relevant while coasting off it's former glory; it used to be a cultural tentpole everybody knew and consumed, but now it's a sideshow you only hear about when people complain because it's stale and obvious. It expects applause when it reaches for the low hanging fruit). My point is, I want the content of my zine to be comedic without being childish, and I want it to have a backbone of sincerity without being boring. Because that's my biggest problem, magazines for adults are boring! Runner's World? Men's Health? Guns and Motorcycles? Homes and Gardens? Nat Geo Traveler: 100 Beautiful Vacation Spots You'll Never Afford to Visit? Who reads that stuff? And then there are all those Nerd™ mags, those glossy $15 ads for marvel and dc and harry potter, [Movie That Just Came Out] Magazine or [Topical K-Pop Band] Magazine, ephemeral cash grabs, corporate masturbation, "look at all our IPs! Look at all the keys we can jingle in front of your face!" I want mine to have substance, I don't want it to feel like the stuff RedLetterMedia's Nerd Crew made fun of ("Very cool," "Very cool," "YOU KEEP HITTING THOSE HOMERUNS, DISNEY!")

This is all pretty nebulous right now, nothing but buzzwords, a bunch of feelings I want to evoke but no concrete steps on how I'm going to evoke them. I need to come up with specific articles and columns to fill the pages.

One section will be dedicated to the crazy headlines I originally envisioned, "Benedict XVI Unretires, Sparks Holy Civil War Against Francis," "Scientist Proves Earth Neither Globe Nor Flat, Secret Third Thing," "GOP Senator Reveals Himself as Antichrist, Party Leaders Say They'll Still Vote for Him Over Dems"

One section will have short stories and art, like those old sci-fi/fantasy pulp mags

News and opinion pieces and predictions without the right-wing bias that comes from being owned and operated by trillion dollar monopolies

I want there to be a sports page that talks about sports and teams that don't exist. I don't follow sport news, so it's all incomprehensible to me, and this section would recreate that confusion by talking about made up shit with the same enthusiasm and intensity as real sportswriters, "the Austin Bagpipers traded star quartermaster Jequon Woodruff to the Fargo Twineballs in a major blow to manager Ted Sunderson's ego. He may take it out by firing his fourth coach this mini-season. We'll have to wait and see how the Bagpipers fare against the Albuquerque Weirdos in the April Audacity bracket next year."

Fun facts

Experiments you can try at home

Experiments you can try at home if you don't mind being put on a government watchlist

Experiments best done away from home (and outside of federal jurisdiction)

Recipes hidden beneath novel-length personal text, "homemade chocolate chip cookies: my great grandfather was a member of the Cuban mafia before the Revolution..."

Hype for obscure holidays, "it's April, and you know what that means! It's almost Arbor Day!" If October is spooky month, and December is festive month, then other months deserve to be celebrated too.

A lot of my creative projects fail to get off the ground because they're too ambitious, I try to do too much too quickly, I get overwhelmed by the scale of things and give up, so these are more guidelines than a complete content description. My zine will have whatever I want it to have in the moment, and if I get feedback from readers then I'll focus on what's the most popular. More of this, less of that, bring back this one-off column, stop this recurring piece altogether, que sera sera.

I don't want to get ahead of myself, so the rest of 2022 is for me to figure out what exactly issue 1 is gonna include.

I'm open to suggestions. Nothing is set in stone.
