Guys I found the best Epstein Files email. The one that illuminates an elite class that's cocooned themselves into an unaccountable shell of wealth and privilege, fighting to protect their secrets and offenses.
I could write a novel about this email.

AI guys insisting on the inevitability of the tech are so irritating. every comparison they make is to something whose utility was immediately apparent. "it does things faster and we can fix its mistakes later and that'll be the job now" does not compare to "metronome that doesn't need winding"

John Cassavetes’ THE KILLING OF A CHINESE BOOKIE turns 50 today. boxd.it/78veHD
A ★★★★½ review of The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (1976)
Watched the director’s cut, possibly for the first time. Easy to overlook this one due to the absence of Rowlands, but that would be a mistake. This is the closest thing Cassavetes ever got to an 8 1/...

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”
