I saw a cybertruck with one of those "got it before Elon went crazy" stickers on it yesterday, which, nice try.

During dismissal at the middle school across the street from me, every kid is staring at their phone while strolling like they are mid-level investment bankers. WHO are they talking to. Their friends are right there! Why is this!

Someone I’ve been going to for ten years just started doing this and I felt genuinely, irrationally hurt when I noticed it on my receipt. Give me a heads up and I’ll pay cash, but that extra $1.30 without a word bugs me more than I can say.

Oh no, obsolescence? The thing we all face eventually? The thing the greatest poets wonder at? If not talking to robots is what gets me there-fine! Whatever! Nothing beside remains, as they say.

Making a different show when you make a different show is kind of the whole ballgame! I see this getting shrugged off as “it’s his schtick,” but it’s very bad! For art! And for me, having to hear about it!

Starkness substituting for meaning? At what point is a show about a fascist demagogue so “stripped down” that it’s just a blonde on a balcony?

I remember the coverage was just “lone wolf” out the wazoo. They never talked about Coeur d’Alene and all the white supremacist groups who got him there.

Midtown is actively hostile to ANYONE who isn’t a finance guy looking to crush a poke bowl, but somehow it’s always full of people getting around just fine!

Freshman business majors should be required to crew a show. The smart ones would enjoy it, the dullards could still make themselves useful, and there'd be synergy, which I hear they all like!

That thing where you have half an hour left of tech and the light and sound guys are fighting and you haven't actually finished a cue-to-cue? Corporate Strategy 400 could NEVER.

I can't actually believe this woman used real names throughout, because if my friend is her definition of "mean," then the whole premise, which contains pretty serious allegations, is in question here.

Have you ever read Mark Vanhoenacker's Skyfaring: A Journey with a Pilot? It's more about absolute love of flying and is gorgeously descriptive; more than anything else it helped me get back in the air after severe anxiety - he makes you feel like you're part of the majesty of it.
