All super rich guys sound the same now. It’s all “I sleep four hours a night and spend the other twenty hours a day developing a product that’s going to bring us the best widespread poverty anyone’s ever seen.”

The legendary Mel Smith. To me, his ‘Colin Watkins’ is the most relatable sitcom character.

The new Oneohtrix Point Never album is good, but so much of it makes me miss the classic run of Sun Araw albums.

What I wish the “should people be permanently canceled?” conversation would be focused on is not whether or not a rich guy should get to keep being rich. At every club he goes to, Louis CK Is in a privileged position over the exact type of people he victimized. Is this okay to do to THEM? For HIM?

Can confirm!
one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.
