I like being an uncle for the holidays because: Mom and dad are responsible, and will discipline you. Grandpa and Grandma are indulgent, and will coddle you. But the uncle... the uncle is unpredictable. The niece and nephew cannot know what the uncle will do, because the soul of the uncle is CHAOS

Last night there was a mass blackout in SF; thousands of homes still w/o power. Waymos were malfunctioning all over the city, stopping dead in intersections. Extremely dangerous. What if there’s an earthquake, fire or other major disaster? Are SF residents just Guinea Pigs for private companies?

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

Wake Up Dead Man is wonderful. Might be my favorite of the three! I remember on a podcast Rian saying he grew up religious and this is a beautiful wrestling with religion by an atheist. See it in theaters!

The issue with Neoliberalism isn't that it doesn't work, it's that it only works once. You can sell the family silver once, you can strip the copper out of the walls once, you can burn the furniture to keep warm once. But then you have to come up with something else!

Deep look at the decline of literary fiction as bestselling works. I fully buy the idea that the internet destroying lit mag's revenue hollowed out the farm leagues for novelists. Less sure personally about the idea that critics starting picking bad books. oyyy.substack.com/p/the-cultur...

It's become abundantly clear that the wealthy are incapable of happiness, which makes the fact that so much of our society is structured around trying to make them happy particularly obscene.

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?
