More thoughts on Asteroid City: the second scene in the play portion, with Matt Dillon, the obvious seriousness and respect with which Anderson treats his character is so charming. It easily could have been a meathead role but Anderson gives him as much dignity as he gave M. Gustave, if not more.

I think we could convince Eric Adams that Scott Adams was his uncle.

Beaufort d' Été

Firm French 🐄 🧀 in gruyère style. Sweet aroma with fruit background. Tiny crystals. Dense. Salty,tart,nutty,buttery,mouth-coating, savory... then hay, wildflowers, leather, roots... then lingering flinty salt and maybe pine. Very strong, incredibly complex. And it melts!

This years bonus could either go to a new TV or a German copy of a Terry Pratchett book that was printed with a soup as.

Since there has yet to be a full box of all 11 Hellraiser films, I made my own! I already own all the films on disc, so got a box from Michael’s and ordered some beautiful custom sleeves from Etsy (made by Egraphoric - check out his store!). Now I have one! Pretty proud of it!

A complementary pathology is that there's the perception that erring on the side of being too naive is somehow far worse than erring on the side of being too cynical, despite the fact that overly cynical predictions are wrong *all the fucking time*, wrong in just as consequential ways too!

Usually I reserve my predictions for things that will suck but I'm calling my shot here the Odyssey movie is gonna rule.

I'm not here for negativity about the Odyssey now that Nolan is making actual movies.

It is totally possible for data to be wrong. You cannot make definitive conclusions about it’s relative wrongness from your personal experiences when the universe the data is attempting to represent is “an economy composed of 340mn people”. You are not a serious person if you think you can.
This is a toddlers interpretation of the discussion. People are very clearly saying that the data doesn’t seem to line up with their experience. The enlightened centrist answer is “social media is lying to you”. Stancil is the cringiest of them because early on he explicitly went after
Literally a toddler’s understanding of the world. “Overall, a thing is not happening more than it has in the past.” interpreted as “oh so you think it happens to no one?! you think the people that it’s happening to are lying?!”

You believe surveys over peoples lived experience?

Lived experience is so important we asked thousands of people about that experience! In a way that mathematically ensured a broad and diverse range of experiences! Asking about peoples' lived experience along dozens of different dimensions!

Low unemployment led to higher wages for poor service workers. This irritated middle class people who enjoy inexpensive services.

They metabolized this by thinking that if it annoyed them, a well to do person, it must have been really hard on the poor. (who got the raises)
