Any humans at that level would be working 100% from an AI-driven script, anyway.

You’ll note Heinlein never wrote “The Sound of His Wings” or “The Stone Pillow”.

Today I read about the Association of German National Jews. Their goal was the total assimilation of Jews into German society. They were strongly anti-Marxist, anti-Zionist, and anti-Eastern European Jews. They voted for Hitler; they thought his Jew-hatred was just to stir up the masses.

When we moved back to the US from Germany in '68, I had developed a serious addiction gummibärli. An entirely unsatisfiable addiction in LA. Haribo didn't make it to the US until 1982. I got friends in Germany to send them. Your uncle Jan might have helped me out.

OK also: (20+25)² = 2025. It's a fun number.

"truer than a lot of the real facts" -- that's the first thing that jumped out at me. Dylan's lifelong self-mythologizing is probably why he went along with this film.

She's not supposed to represent the American people. What an ignorant utterance. She represents the people of her district, 81% of whom voted for her.

Every single day is a possible anniversary of the day you're going to die. Celebrate every day. It's a good bedtime practice, perhaps: "Did I celebrate today yet? Do it now."
