In under twelve hours, all of the content on post-its will move from the first photo, over to assignments in the second photo, and over onto spreads in the third.
Those folded pieces of paper are how we plan magazine layouts. It’s gonna be awesome.
#24mag - I need help!
So we’re starting the magazine. I’m writing about an imaginary website that harmonizes first all data from scientific studies, and then all of science. Eventually this website figures out how to synthesize a single account of all of science into one single theory.
I will need YOUR help. Especially if you’re working on the theory of knowledge, the nature of truth, longitudinal studies, and, well, maybe if you do natural language…… I will need help to make sure that most of the theoretical advances I’m talking about are at least a little bit plausible.
I’m tempted to write this whole piece on Github, but it turns out I have a deadline. :-)
So - follow #24mag on twitter for lots of good stuff, and if you have relevant expertise or want to chip in, HELP ME! I’m totally gonna need it!
I am like a safecracker for dishwashers

Sometimes cleaning up after dinner is pleasantly meditative: pulling apart the range to wipe up spilled masa harina, loading the dishwasher, putting all the leftovers into tiny boxes in the fridge, wiping down the countertops, it all feels so fluid and comfortable, even in someone else’s…
I made Meg’s dinner specially for her with extra chili flakes and chicken stock as a way of saying a massive thank you for doing incredible things in the kitchen today. Without you I would have been backed up by hours and probably covered in sweat, cuts, and burns. Thank you!
"Feb 1 2:00 PM – So I missed a post in the 1:00 hour, but I hope you will forgive me. Currently Sara and I are working on interviews with all the individual contributors; Sara with a question for the magazine and me with questions to share with Felt & Wire readers next week. Design decisions are also being made (we can’t wait to share the online version with you!) And lunch is on it’s way. Though we heard there were some smoke alarm issues in the kitchen location, so hopefully our lunch will not be burned"

Need a novel title
Hey everyone. I’m writing a review of a fake novel for twenty-four magazine. And I need your help to choose a title. The novel is a retelling of the Odyssey that places Odysseus in the middle of the Bronze Age collapse, in which all the major civilizations of the Near East went Foom at about the same time as the Trojan War. There are also strong themes of inequality that lead to the collapse.
What should I call the book?
This weekend I made a movie for a print magazine with the help of Ian Rosenbaum, Rose Ginsberg, and Victoria Nece. The magazine was twenty-four magazine, which you should buy, especially if you dig this marimba monologue…
