Even more so because we never had cancel culture. We had the beginnings of a suggestion of cancel culture and most privileged people and every vector of institutional power treated it like the biggest moral hazard the world has ever seen and spent an astonishing amount of effort to shut it down.
Honestly, we could have used a lot more cancel culture.
Insights from Larry Summers
"I observed that half the IQ In world was possessed by women without mentioning they are more than 51 percent of population..."

It's so interesting that in the name of practicality we are urged to avoid any practical action; in the name of redemption we are urged to exonerate people who have shown no interest in redemption; in the name of civility we are urged to overlook the cruelty of those who scorn all civility

Gentle reminder that I am going to be on TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES (!!!!) on Monday for an evening of programming that we put together. I hope you'll be able to tune in. Love y'all.

Sometimes I wonder why I put off seeing a classic for so long, especially when I find out it’s a masterpiece and a new favourite. I love director Fritz Lang’s movies but other than M and Metropolis…

I don’t have a whole lot of advice for people younger than me but the earlier in life you stop worrying about what other people will think and just wholeheartedly enjoy the stuff you like the happier you’ll be
One thing people kind of tell you, but not really, about middle age:
One day you'll be like "oh [thing] looks fun but people will think I'm a loser" about a thing
And then you'll say. Wait a second.
Fuck 'em

It’s almost like if people tell you that to win you have to turn your back on poor people, or Muslims, or trans people, or immigrants, you can just say, “no, that’s immoral, we’re not doing that,” and keep doing good old fashioned organizing and campaigning and things will be ok
