You don't have to go down swingin for Harry Potter. You can simply become obsessed with something else
There are so many cool things to be obsessed about, you may never run out in your lifetime. Ask people for recs, I dunno
A key to happiness is like... loving 3-5 creative works every few years

My mother is in a box and we have death certificates. We also had a locksmith get her car open for us and got it safely to her house. I have her car's fob, her phone, and her wallet, as well as a bunch more papers related to her house and taxes, so I'm calling it a productive trip down

Here's a clip of Rob Reiner that brings me a lot of joy & how I'm happiest to remember him. It's an episode of Gomer Pyle from 1969 and Rob's the hippie in yellow, just 21 years old. Sitcoms weren't supposed to talk about the Vietnam War, so they found a way to sing about it instead.

Only someone with zero talent would say this. It is the (sometimes timely) process itself that makes creativity flow, every artist will tell you that. Cutting the process will eliminate creativity, not enhance it. But the fact that billionaires want to kill art is not new.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Also we've fetishized "debate” in these spaces as some kind of civic good, when what matters is competence, trust, shared purpose. Medicine, engineering, boardrooms aren’t organized around debate or requirements of false balance. We've poisoned public discourse by insisting it be adversarial.

My partner and I are scheming the steps necessary to get their ovaries removed for their PMDD. The birth control they've been on isn't cutting it anymore, and while their antidepressant has been pretty good for regular depression, it doesn't touch on the Super Depression nearly enough

You could also move to Aplington, Iowa and realize that none of the 500 women who live there want anything to do with you, and that real estate is so cheap because there is nothing to do in town, and that there are only so many nights at the local dive bar you can have before you lose your mind.
If you want to do something like this, why not buy a $150k home in a small town in Italy, France, Spain, or Mexico, instead of having nine people share one bathroom after they eat at a restaurant called "Stinky's?"
