I love this passage about the disease of collecting, from a quote in Do Not Sell At Any Price, Amanda Petrusich’s book about 78 record collectors.
The core truth about this disease is not specific to just 78s, I have it for vinyl LPs, others for Pokémon, or, like Jack Donaghy, cookie jars

![think it's more of a disease. There has to be something really wrong with you to want to possess these objects in the first place. You have to have them, and it's never enough, and you get that strange, tingly feeling when you get one. Anyone who collects anything is obsessive-compulsive and neurotic. The need to put things in order, to file by number, to alphabetize and label, to be constantly reassessing how you've ordered things-that's neurotic behavior. I've always thought I was really crazy, that there was something really wrong with me. Especially when I started collecting 78s, because I didn't know anyone else who collected them, and I felt really isolated and weird," he continued.
"But then when I met guys like Crumb and Nevins, everyone was like,
'Yeah, we're all crazy? I've never met [another 78 collector] who wasn't like, "This is sick, we're all sick, " he said. "When I finally gave in and started buying 78s, it was a conscious decision to embrace my sickness and do what I always wanted to do. It's probably like when someone dabies in drugs their whole life and finally decides to shoot heroin.
There has to be something in your mind that says, 'I give up'
"If I really wanted a big house in the suburbs, I wouldn't be able to buy records as often, if ever," he conceded. "But the thing is, I don't really want a house in the suburbs. I'm happy, which is a little bit of a problem."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:i53ba5pywdaq5vizfmjvqo3u/bafkreievp7folrga5yofuaieyzaipvoekfhnblmmnqd2me54oeu5yfodgy@jpeg)

I used to say Casino was better than Goodfellas as a contrarian hot take, but after watching each a few more times over the years, I’m convinced it’s true and I can make a detailed case.
30 years ago today, Casino (1995) hit theaters—a brutal, opulent Scorsese epic about power, greed, and the fall of a Vegas empire.

The Mayor of New York only makes $260k. I bet there are police that make more than that in NY with overtime.
We need to pay elected leaders more money and stop pretending it's some sort of calling. They're managing hundreds of billions of dollars in investments and millions of people's lives.
