Should I Stop Flying? It’s a Difficult Decision to Make.

Fuck not flying. Improve tech. Fuck this clownish austerity. Not flying would not make me happier. I have friends all over the goddamn place.

Many women dream of an impossible world where only those attractive them are attracted to them — and only express that attraction when and where those women wish them to do so.

Most men dream of a world where anyone is attracted to them at all and expresses it ever. That’s quite a difference.

Marisa Tomei for ‘My Cousin Vinny’ Is the Rare Perfect Oscars Win.

Agreed. She was so damn great in that part and I loved how many people got angry that a relatively-unknown model-turned-actor won for playing a lower-class person in a comedy film. That’s one of the few movies I’ve rewound (VCRs at the time!) 5-6 times just to see her parts again.

I agree with Tomei why so many people — inside Hollywood and out — were scandalized by the win.

“When I was younger, it hurt my feelings,” she said. “It made me quite ashamed, actually. But on the other hand, it’s a load of [expletive]. I think it had to do more with the role that I played—that it was comedic and that it wasn’t upper class. I think it was more of a classist thing, frankly.”

That is one of my favorite film perfomance of all time. And it still holds up to this day.

This country sure does have a whole lot of expensive but still ugly and terrible houses.

We have a lot of wealth but use it very poorly.

The below really increased in the late 1990s. Not sure why it began, but I noticed bans on young people hanging out in public basically anywhere greatly expanding then. It’s probably not a coincidence that as Boomers got political power en masse is when this really ramped up.

On the contrary, tools like this mean there will be *no more* blockbusters. Rather, content continues to become even more hyper niche and hyper targeted. ML means the death of mass market will go even further than we previously thought possible. https://t.co/PDKk1wbD0v

I predicted this three years ago.

As usual, I was ahead of the curve.

Too many people really do be like: “It’s crazy that people don’t want to live in a pod and eat bugs! Why does anyone want to go outside or have a yard their kids can play in? That’s prole thinking! In the New Shiny Future, we’ll have collective everything and all will be shared.”

And that will work out about as well as it has every other time in the past it’s been tried….

My partner is hotter at nearly 40 than she was at 23. Contra the Fat Acceptance bozos, it’s just not true that you have to look like a bloated dumpster as you get older. She looks a whole lot better in a crop top than she did then (and even then, she looked damn good).

Working out fucking works motherfuckers.

Boomers hiring managers called me a job hopper for having internships in college.

Boomers are weirdly caught up on job-hopping — when in reality, changing jobs is the only way these days that you can get a better salary. Even if you work at a company for 10 years, they will often hire someone for 40% more than you make doing the same job. Then when you complain that new hires are making far more for the exact same work, they will tell you that 40% raises just “aren’t done.” Then there’s no choice but to leave.

People generally don’t job-hop because they want to; it’s done so they can get what they are worth.

(Internships as in this case are a totally different thing, though, about which Boomers are also apparently dunces.)

“Intuitive eating” might not be the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard of, but it’s certainly up there in the top 10 somewhere. The Fat Acceptance movement is death-facing.

That is such a great, great country song. Patty Loveless has still got it.

I’ve never heard “Bolero” performed like that before. Damn that’s good.
