Author Kurt Vonnegut on telling his wife he's going out to buy an envelope:
"Oh, she says, well, you're not a poor man. You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet? And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope. I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And I'll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is β we're here on Earth to fart around. And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And it's like we're not supposed to dance anymore.β
I often return to this Kurt Vonnegut bit time and again.

Opinion | This Masculinity Influencer Is Loud and Wrong About Paternity Leave
So many men, so many losers
Galloway is the youngest of boomers imbued with all the 70s, 80s and 90s social change and upheaval who learned nothing. Heβs confidently confident in his righteousness but is a grifter at heart. Like Oprah.

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

We are truly living in the age of human centipede journalism, just a bunch of bootlickers with their lips fastened to the assholes of corporatists and billionaires spewing raw shit end to end and expecting us to consume it like it's real reporting and not someone else's diarrhea

Now more than ever Iβm convinced losing Anthony Bourdain meant we lost probably the biggest person on tv who advocated for the wonders of meeting new people and calling anyone online who hated learning new cultures the children they were, ruthlessly to the camera.

That's why I'm so against ChatGPT. I'm against letting a machine do your homework for you. I think you should cling to Doing Your Homework Yourself like it's the last opportunity you have to liberate yourself from mental enslavement. Because it basically is.
Anyway shout out to Kai Cenat.

If Timothee Chalamet wants to make being a reverse-snob part of his deal, whatever. Be a child, you know?
But at a time when arts funding and support are so imperiled, it would be nice not to lead with your contempt for wide swaths of the arts during your campaign to have your own art recognized.

Everything I have learned about these two companies entirely run by βso calledβ grown ups who clearly need to enter therapy is against my will. Bring back high school rumbles in the parking lot to settle your wiener arguments. Leave the rest of us alone.
