Live your life in such a way that when you die people don't literally rise from the dead to shit on your grave.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Michael Caine sitting alone at a sunny terrace restaurant in Italy, sipping his espresso and grieving for his friend Dick Cheney. Looking up, he is amazed to see Cheney alive, well and happy at the next table, and Cheney nods to him in acknowledgment, and then immediately shoots him in the face

On Adam Ant's 71st birthday, I'm sitting here thinking of his basic rule of thumb about his pop singles : make sure they start in such an attention-grabbing way that radio DJs can't talk over the top of them. Listen to an Adam Ant / Ants singles compilation and they do just that, every one of them.

Holy shit, Godzilla Minus Zero just got announced. I will be seated day one. I really loved Godzilla Minus One. I have to rewatch that movie one day. I'm glad I got to see it in theaters. It was barely showing in my area. But I will watch the sequel when it's released
