- “Where does it end? It ends with a society where wealth cannot buy abuse, because the human prosperity it generates springs only from universal human plenty, and does not permit the sort of wealth that abuses.”
- Today I wrote about the Epstein files, the abusiveness intrinsic to the billionaire mindset, and our culture's enabling instinct to permit depravity as a privilege of power. "Where does it all end?" That's what's often asked. Rarely asked is "how do we end it?" www.the-reframe.com/where-it-ends/
- Just learned that in the Balti language of Tibet, K2 does have a local name, and it's pronounced "ketu"
- Slowly dawning on me that you people are discoursing about an actual dumpster fire
- Classic: the giants win the pennant Fantastic: Yuki wins the tip
- I haven’t paid any attention to the NBA since Jordan but I could become a Yuki Kawamura guy if he always scraps like this
- The best I can do is that a kilometer (a distance I can run in 5 minutes) is one million millimeters (a length I can see). But what's a billion millimeters? Can I really hold 600 miles and a millimeter in my mind at the same time? It's like trying to focus a camera on both the horizon and a flower
- Switched on the curling match and was disappointed by the competitors' small biceps
- Let me add: all those clever cynical people who say "the business of a newspaper is to sell advertising" also don't understand why newspapers exist, because that's fundamentally how these billionaire wreckers are treating their media companies and it shows
- Yes, there is always a spreadsheet whisperer in the upper echelons who only cares about revenue, and that's the language the shareholders speak. But the revenue has ALWAYS been there to support the real mission, and attention economy addicts like Bezos and Soon-Shiong and Ellison don't get it
- I have to keep reminding myself that "make money" means something completely different to me than it does to the ownership class.
- [me counting up the cash at the end of the month after employees and bills have been paid] awesome! we made money! [billionaire seeing that profits only pay 6% dividends to shareholders] this is unsustainable
- Looking over Ford's imdb list, remembering they cast him in the remake of Sabrina, and now wondering if there are any Humphrey Bogart films that aren't someone's favorite dad movie
- Anchoring my Father's Day movie marathon with Mosquito Coast
- Well I really really really, really really really like nudes
