This morning I blearily and wearily told Siri to play me Ethel Cain and instead she played Wu-Tang and you know my day just continued to get better from there, maybe we're wrong about the robot overlords

Charlie Kaufman writes the adaptation for Ducks, Newburyport directed by the Safdie Brothers (In this timeline you can force them back together). The key part here is as a despotic president no one can hold me accountable for what then ensues.
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

It's actually kind of pithy. I'd dropped out my first year of college where I tried theater, and remembered a 40-ish undergrad senior who'd been telling us he'd been like "I just gotta try this acting thing, if it doesn't work out then at least I'll know."

When I talk to students about public speaking or teaching, I always bring this up: Just tell people when you don't know something! It's remarkably powerful b/c it signals to your audience that you know the boundaries of your expertise and they can trust what you DO talk about.
completely outside of politics, this is so charming

Got food poisoning at the Giller 2022 when I chaired the jury and threw up a dozen times in the bathroom of the Four Seasons. I suppose in retrospect there are a few literary terms that could be applicable here.
what's the most exotic place you've ever puked? mine's not exactly exotic but i did once have a hangover at the nyc facebook office and barfed in their very nice bathroom
Got food poisoning from Fogo De Chao. Puked out the side of a moving cab along beautiful Copacabana Beach. The most exotic place I'll probably ever puke!
