Sacks is saying that the rest of the economy is already in a recession. It's not that they'll cause a depression, it's that they want to continue extracting as everyone else suffers
James Bond supervillains threaten to blow up the world with their big laser unless you pay them a trillion dollars.
Real American supervillains embed themselves in the economy and threaten to cause a depression unless you subsidize their sex robots and the weird chatbots they use to avoid humans.

The only correct pie take is that pies are like dogs—they’re all good, we just have stronger personal attachments to some than others.

Cheesecake is unpleasantly heavy and will make me regret eating it shortly after. Key Lime pie has never let me down.
key lime pie crushes cheese cake. not even close

Again, every elected Democrat needs to put out a video stating exactly what Kelly and the others said. If ever there were a line to draw in the sand, it’s here. The military is not the president’s Praetorian Guard.

It is wild to me that the largest company on the stock market, one with such incredible prestige and a huge PR team got dog-walked here. Why would you EVER give this ANY oxygen? Now everybody is asking whether NVIDIA is like Enron! This didn't help at all!
Nvidia refuted accounting questions in a memo to analysts, saying "Unlike Enron, NVIDIA does not use Special Purpose Entities to hide debt and inflate revenue" (Tae Kim/Barron's Online)

imagine thinking that people can't regard your work as bad
So this is a simplistic, binary, and altogether poor way to approach film analysis. Films aren’t good/bad, they do certain things well and certain things poorly. Rarely will you find a film or any art that does everything right. It’s just degrees of how well some things were accomplished.
i know this will shock a lot of you but movies can actually be bad. like, not bad as in "oh i don't this character's choices or this vibe isn't for me" but bad in "there is no logical connection between the scenes i'm being presented with"

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

that's a lot of words to agree with the discourse
the “thanksgiving food is bad” discourse raises its ugly head every year, but the truth remains that thanksgiving food can be amazing as long as you know how to cook. the problem is we’re throwing a few million sunday drivers directly into a grand prix
I think this is unfair to turkey. turkey is good but hard to cook well because it is so damn big. turkey *parts* are great but lack the esthetic appeal of a centerpiece bird.
