Great thread, and I always appreciate such commitment to a metaphor.

lots of people rightfully hailing the great gene hackman performances but let me say a word for his role as the villain in sam raimi’s THE QUICK AND THE DEAD. he brings so much genuine menace to the performance, it’s electrifying

I keep coming back to the argument made in "The End of the Myth": from almost the very beginning, the US dealt with its issues by not dealing with its issues. Every time the kettle started to boil, we expanded our borders. Kettle's been boiling for a while now.

Seriously. Sharon Stone was the "big star"* but you had some up and coming promising actors in it too - Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe. lol *1995 was peak Sharon Stone (she'd win the oscar for best supporting actress from Casino that same year)

This. It’s hard, because we (collectively) have eroded almost every local business that might have been an easy replacement. We mostly shifted from Amazon, but when our kids were smaller, Amazon felt like the only way we would survive. Even now, Amazon is sometimes my adhd tax- “shit, we forgot

Are any of my mutuals based in Austin, TX? I'm looking for a researcher who might be willing to do a small amount of (paid!) archival research at the Harry Ransom Center at UT. Probably 2-3 hours, photographing some 20th-century documents. If you know someone, please let me know!

I liked that this post talked about the value of "inefficiency" in tasks like summarizing. How the time we spend thinking about something while summarizing it has an ancillary function, and how "efficiency" takes away from time spent on things. we need to spend time on things to think through them

Dear Manager, 1. I drank a whiskey drink. 2. I drank a vodka drink. 3. I drank a lager drink. 4. I drank a cider drink. 5. I sang the songs that remind me of the good times; I sang the songs that remind me of the better times.

Trump baseline wouldn't accept that some rule keeps him from "serving" more than two terms. He particularly will never be able to accept that he can't have what FDR was able to have, constitutional amendment notwithstanding. It's just a rule that didn't even apply to all the presidents.

This is exciting!I also forwarded it to my local bookstore ( there's a bundle discount in there for booksellers). Capitol Books has been expanding their romance section, having romance authors in for bigger events, etc. so it seemed like a good fit They said they were interested, so fingers crossed

There are lots of starting points, this is a good modern one (and 9/11). An older one - Bacon's Rebellion (and it's aftermath), by Heather McGhee, 400 Souls. Arguably the moment that the filthy rich of the 1600s figured out how to divide by race to keep us from looking to closely at their villainy
