This was an amazing episode of @depreshmode.bsky.social

About history (LBJ, MLK, Gorbachev, CNN), fixating on career, being addicted to achievement, being slammed by depression when career goes sideways, getting treated when society tells you not to, and regret.

The trope in fantasy & other fiction of: “Magic always has a cost,” is especially true of Christmas/Holiday Magic.
Make sure to be kind out there — especially to yourself!

They don't want to be creators, they want to have what they perceive as the cultural status that creators have, without doing the work for it.

A lot of them also think we make a lot more money than we do, which they want as well.

Rob Reiner from Andre the Giant: Life and Legend (2014)

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.
Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

Small, petty child wants it to be all about him. What else is new?

No one will mourn him like those that have added so much enjoyment to our lives & it fucking eats at his black soul.

Don’t give the fucker the attention that he craves!
