Santa Claus, A Schlub on a modern diet, and a Paleo Man who never got sick/had perfect teeth/and all natural mega muscles are all standing around
a Big Mac, starving.
Who grabs the burger first?
Yes, the Schlub. But do you know why?
Because the other 2 are figments of our fucking imaginations.

Soon the Purple level theme will be “Things that are things”

Out of the darkness you hear a scream.
And that scream ROCKS.
and the darkness doesn’t seem so dark anymore…

BIRD BY BIRD by Anne Lamott is one of those books that is on every list of books on writing that writers should read (including Stephen King’s On Writing).
But I have to say, what is never made clear in these lists is that Anne Lamott is really fucking funny.

“what is alab? what is alab!?” i continue to ask as i slowly shrink and transform into a letter to my congressman insisting they convince jd to go on alab
Can we all start talking about safeguarding our elections systems?
In two years if Tweedle Delon and Tweedle Dump are still buddy buddy and their approval ratings are in the toilet they may decide that elections still aren’t trustworthy and it all should be run through Grok or some other nonsense.
Not that I’m trying to turn this into “But what about these!?!” Here in the replies (though that wouldn’t be a bad thing with Hackman!), I just want to call out his 2001.
Both “Heist” AND “The Royal Tenenbaums”
With Tenenbaums especially I think there is magic in his performance.
I live on a farm and the only place that consistently fucks up my deliveries, to the extent that I no longer order from them, is Amazon.
(Also I prefer USPS over all, since I know packages from them won’t be tossed into any old field).
Elon would have called the admin position “Moloch!”, but his cultural literacy doesn’t extend beyond what’s trending on r/IncelScifiFans
Paul Graham’s PFP always makes him look like he’s about to say something he thinks is smart, but is, in actuality, quite stupid, so…no notes
Your move A.I.
Tell us you had an Apple device during the Fall of 2014 with iTunes loaded on it without telling us you had an Apple device with iTunes loaded on it during the Fall of 2014, why don't you?
"... Melania herself said she was a fan of Ratner’s work (Tower Heist? Red Dragon?) and liked the idea that he was an outcast."
😂 the excellent @kimmasters.bsky.social throwing a little shade
Really great article (even if you could not, like me, care less about Ratner)
“No checks, No balances” should be their motto, it pretty much already is
After a fruitless all-nighter, one of Maybelline’s Ad agency execs takes a big red marker to the company’s name plastered on the wall.
*In his delirium he only crosses out the ‘LLINE’*
“Wait a second, Don, Wait just a goddam second!”
We need a name for real pictures that look like A.I. slop
I like him pointing, like “who put this dais here?”
The question is are all undershirts T-Shirts, but not all T-shirts undershirts?
Yeah Bessent was the “business as usual” Treasury secretary pick, right?
“Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave representatives of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency access to the federal payment system late on Friday”

I did! Not a knock on your transparency (or Kevin Cirilli who brought up interesting points). I was just looking for a voice who looks skeptically at crypto from the inside, which probably isn’t an easy find.
Anyway, love your pod it’s a must listen! I’m sure this won’t be the last one on crypto
I genuinely appreciate you having a crypto insider on the podcast to discuss Trump’s grift coin.
But Natalie Brunell is a bitcoin maxi. I feel like you needed someone who would push back on her evangelizing. Although it is a fraught space and it can be hard to find an insider who’s level headed.
They better shut down the executive branch, seems like all the top guy does over there is talk about “gender ideology” and “woke” stuff
I’ve said this before but the extent to which *Matt Yglesias’s Brain* has just merged with *Maga Talking Points* is a real problem.
My Dad always said “You can pursue acting, but you need a backup…
And that backup? PLASTICS”
Real estate works too, I guess
