The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Someone who bought a frog facts advent calendar for a friend's kid last year just emailed me.
Apparently that kid got a different advent calendar this year, and when he opened it he said, “These are HORRIBLE! They’re not teaching me anything about frogs!”
This kid gets it.

Chotiner’s superpower isn’t pointing out to a powerful person’s face that they’re wrong, it’s continuing to work in media after repeatedly doing so.
It’s always fun to see the clips of the Sunday political shows because you get to go “yep the news lets people lie to them for an hour and airs it”

In other words, if T. Rex were a paleontologist, he could have dug up (with his little arms!) fossils of Allosaurus…

This also means that other dinosaurs like Stegosaurus, Diplodocus and Ceratosaurus also never saw flowers.
But Tr.rex, Triceratops, and Edmontosaurus did see flowers. 🌸🪻🌻🦖🦕
This also mean that the fossils we found of Stegosaurus, Allosaurus were already long buried when T.rex was walking around 🤯

My favorite ludicrous New Yorker style is that they print initialisms in full caps but acronyms (initialisms pronounced as words) in small caps, so in the days of CD-ROMs, they'd write the word like this:

You might as well say you’re adapting Moby-Dick and then spend the whole first season just hanging out with Ishmael and Queequeg in New Bedford. I’d probably watch that, but I’d also be wondering when the hell the whales were going to show up.
In both cases: the dick is the whole point.

When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Louis C.K.’s Next Chapter
In a new standup special, and a début novel, the comedian navigates murky, post-#MeToo terrain: not quite exiled, not quite welcomed back.
