turns out the way a ton of people use the word genius is to describe “a white guy with a fancy job who uses the occasional SAT vocabulary word and claims to be good at math”
that is literally all it means to them

Years ago, I would come across high profile folk calling Summers a genius so I checked out some of his work, read some articles and thought, “I don’t get it. Maybe he’s a genius behind closed doors type thing?” Now it’s looking like there was nothing there for me to “get”.

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique
Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

I’ve resisted doing this for a long time FOR THIS VERY REASON but once you start getting involved with smart bulbs and scenes and automation you’re climbing onto a gruelling treadmill of endless tweaking, adding more bulbs, shortcuts, commands - AND FOR WHAT? To avoid bending down to flick a switch

when you turn your back on the heart of a story then you have rendered it inert and content-like. a vampire with a smartphone is and a vape is disgusting and evil. a vampire with a pager and a cigarette is cool and sexy. learn!!!

vampire the masquerade should only take place in the 1990s/early 2000s for the same reason that Fallout should only take place in America.
if you fail to see why then you are ungrateful to the Themes, and more of us ought to respect Themes in these days of meaninglessness.
