It’s the Quickest Way to Ruin a Great Cocktail. Thankfully, Bartenders Are Finally Cutting It Off.

The era of bracing bravado is coming to an end.

Your shadow-self is out there, somewhere, lurking. It wears your face but it is NOT you; do not become confused. You will need to identify where it hides and hunt it down. Use a sharp knife and carry salt with you at all times. The heart can be eaten, but at a price.

the crazy thing about being put inside the suffer chamber is that you don’t always suffer in there. sometimes you have fun or crack jokes with the boys or whatever. and then it’s like ope! back to suffering

Great story. Can't overstate the desperation in creative industries right now. Nearly every person I know who previously had a viable, or even lucrative, career in media/entertainment is in a financial panic, leaving longtime apartments, desperately taking any work they can find. It is really bad.

The most important human story in the entertainment industry right now is the severe downturn in film and TV production in LA and how it's affecting middle-class crew workers. I spoke to dozens of them for this story about the depressed Hollywood economy. www.wsj.com/business/med...

L.A.’s Entertainment Economy Is Looking Like a Disaster Movie

Work is evaporating, businesses are closing, longtime residents are leaving, and Los Angeles’s creative middle class is hanging on by a thread.
