Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

The vibes in Chicago right now are sort of like during the pandemic except if covid showed up in a random neighborhood every day and had to be driven off by everyone yelling at it

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Work will make you free
Dr Oz: "We should make you so healthy that you flourish in life and you engage the workplace. Getting America back to work full speed, getting you to work longer if you desire, that builds trillions of dollars of value to the GDP. That's the goal of the health system."

It's getting cold. Annual reminder never to plug any sort of heating appliance into a power strip or any extension cord below 12 gauge (directly into the wall is always best). You're only as safe as your dumbest neighbor.
