Starbucks is like that really gross guy you just can’t quit

Going to bed after a long night, but Imma leave a spicy meatball. To have intelligence, you need empathy, because learning and understanding require more than just synapses in the brain to light up. Knowledge and facts require an unwavering acceptance of others and life itself.

Friedman’s theory actually makes the most sense so long as you have a true democracy with antitrust enforcement. Otherwise yes, you need to have a broad stakeholder approach or you will burn everything down and your shareholders will own the ashes

If nothing else I hope this finally ends the debate over whether corporations truly care about social responsibility. They don’t. It’s just Friedman theory and there is no government to stop them.

Netflix had the chance to be the marketplace for streaming. If they had seen themselves as an infrastructure and application provider rather than a movie studio, we may have had everything watchable in one place. Pay off the gov’t to avoid antitrust and boom—market cornered

they better not fuck this up

Got 9 hrs of sleep last night and remembered I’m an adult with executive decision making skills.

I need a date for the Bernie Sanders dance!

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

crazy to see democrats and republicans unveiling legislation to ban themselves from trading stocks or crypto, yet they and everyone know it won’t ever pass. It feels like a slap in the face more than anything else

To any app sending me a "don't lose your streak" push notification: I do not care about my streak. I will never care about my streak. Streaks, simply, are not things that weigh with any heft on my psyche. There are great horrors in the world, many of which are also sent to me by push notification.

I’m writing a novel about art school but it’s not what you think

why is everyone in LA exactly 30 years old

We should ask ourselves, why did every senator, from Bernie Sanders to Marsha Blackburn, vote to confirm Marco Rubio as sec of state?

It’s funny how working out hurts but then so does depression? So guess I’d rather have the muscles at least when it’s all said and done

I want to be known as the friend who won’t give advice but listens well and then gifts a copy of some tangentially related classic literature

You’re not depressed you’re poor and living under oligarchy

Catherine O’Hara needs more screen time. Frankly, she should get all of the screen time

Larry David should stand in gold next to lady liberty

Panera bread is good enough but not worth what they’re charging

I’m looking for a democratic candidate who will cancel every single Spacex contract on day one

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?
