I’m in the small and spoiled demographic that can afford traveling to see the Olympics. I hate transoceanic flights. I love Los Angeles. I should be the easiest mark for an Olympics held there. And yet… it’s real hard to see a path to how traveling to the states is gonna be okay in ‘28.

I don’t want to overstate my remembrance of Jonathan Joss, but when they mentioned True Grit, I knew, instantly, that he was responsible for one of the hardest laughs I’ve ever had in a movie theatre. May the homophobic piece of shit that murdered him die in prison.

This is my specific worry about the current trajectory. "Why learn any of the cool human talents when a computer can just do that for you?" is a completely rational statement when the importance of the humanities have been overshadowed by the need for credentials and status.

Promising not to overreact (tracking private planes from Milwaukee to Toronto, spreading unconfirmed reports of a lavish dinner reservation for 20 at a souvlaki joint in Greektown)

Completely agree here but also - why write about a boring chud when Sturgill Simpson is right here and just came off one of the most interesting tours I’ve heard in a while
