I frequently get stuck on music, football, investing/the market, and the NYT Crossword. Definitely not financial advice, and only sometimes the views of my employer.

Oasis is incredible. You see Liam come on stage and you’re like “that is the coolest man ever to exist” but then you see Noel and you think, “that is the coolest man ever to exist.” Crazy that the Liam songs and the Noel songs exist from the same family. $60 bucket hat = worth it.

Writing this novel is the best thing I've ever done. I'm so happy.

Here's a take: critiquing or questioning AI is challenging for some because it forces us to contend with our humanism. If you can cut out the messy parts of humanity and trick yourself into believing you can live forever - a certain type of person would live for that.

There's a hedge fund called Nelson Peltz but when I see it in print I think of Nelson Muntz.

Browsing an immaculately categorised though overflowing second hand bookstore today and its stereo hit me with a Lou Reed’s Perfect Day and some days just hit exactly right.

I keep thinking about this skeet and how much it sums up my entire existence.
There's sometimes talk about the disadvantages rural kids have when they get to college.
One that doesn't get discussed is just how few types of guy you're familiar with. Your town had maybe like 4 types of guy. You meet all these new people & it takes FOREVER for you to grasp that they're types.

Hotels with a choice of five movie channels are so comfortingly like being back in childhood. So far I’ve watched Harry Potter 3 and a terrible movie called Trap because they were the best options. Limited choice = alright by me.

Bali has a soundtrack of traditional music, live acoustic covers of western hits, Oasis, and pop punk.

Got as high as 2nd and now I’m in 6th 😭. Still have all my chips to play. What to do.
Somehow I'm now in third.
Update: I won the week, and am coming 5th overall. Not bhed.

Me: “I’m eating so healthily in Bali! Each day a new fruit bowl and local healthy meal!”
Also me: “Which way to your exotic potato chips, please. How do you do Mr Potato? GuriBee Layers? But I hardly know ‘er? Eh eh”

Darrell Lea has invented a chocolate filled licorice log - like a reverse bullet, and filled a packet with three of them. This is a public service announcement.
