From probably the best answer I've read on Quora
[link in the alt text]

"“You, you can be mean. And I’ll, I’ll drink all the time.”

How many thousands of relationships did Bowie dissect with those twelve words?"

Didn't he do a 5g dose a month ago, live tweet it, eat the best salad he ever ate, and declare everyone assholes a day or two later?

Leeks over elbows. Simplest dish in the world, save for the part where you have to clean the leeks

[My 93-year-old French mother still refers to them as "the poor man's asparagus"]

In 1931 Dorothy Thompson interviewed Hitler, belittled him, & was subsequently kicked out of Germany when he became Chancellor

Ken's thread and an offhand comment from @bcdreyer.social inspired me to track down the book that came out of that interview, _"I Saw Hitler"!_

One of the best parts of being 57 is that I can be unapologetically uncool and have near immunity to having my yum yukked

As Mary Oliver reminds us: Joy is not made to be a crumb.

If only he'd gotten this right:

Sloan: You can't just write down the names of rich people

Charlie: I didn't just write down... those are all the names of people would be interested in media buys

Sloan: Elon Musk isn't interested [...] Larry Ellison is busy winning the America's Cup

First try, on a laptop. I know you compared it to Asteroids, but I feel like the thousands of dollars I pumped into Robotron was better training for this
