it’s not that this US administration has a different, competing version of what it means to do good. They know and even share our conception of good, and oppose it on purpose to make their enemies mad. Consciously, purposefully, gleefully evil.

There’s not a word in this story about the corrupt nature of this dismissal. Not a concern voiced, not a question raised, not even an acknowledgment that he’s the president’s biggest donor and he’s acting as an unelected, unconfirmed tyro wielding unchecked power over spending and the civil service.

love when people perceive extreme wealth as some mystical leveling up you achieve when you accomplish jedi mind tricks in business and entrepreneurship when the answer is really just: be part of the system that hands shit out to people like you for free.

You will do readings where no one shows up. You will set up at events and sell no books. Rejection will show up in your inbox again and again. You will say “I wrote a book!” and folks will stay quiet or say “Cool!” and then not buy it. It’s all good. Part of the gig. KEEP AT IT.

Nah shut up this is too good. Basic person: “Hur hur the Murdochs are acting just like an episode of Succession!!!!” Overly clever person: “Well actually it’s not that simple, there’s a lot of nuance.” The Murdochs, watching Succession: “We should copy that.” www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/b...

Imagine being the first person to hear the Knight Rider theme. I would've run through a wall at the studio.

5 things I believe as a director: 1. Films are rarely better that their scripts. 2. Films are rarely better than their lead performances. 3. Films are as much sound as picture. 4. Films combine primary art forms: painting/photography, theater, literature, music. 5. Films are emotional experiences.

That's why there's an aggressive effort now to blame "identity politics," it's a retcon because Harris ran exactly the campaign centrists wanted, catering to conservatives, never criticizing Netanyahu, never blaming billionaires or big corporations, the works—just to lose to Old Man Yells at Cloud.
