It is tacky for really famous people to be in TV commercials for products. Their gambling debts/boat repairs are not my problem, those roles should belong to actors like the Time To Make The Donuts guy and the actress who said "who are you calling a cootie queen you lint licker" in that Orbit ad.

But if you dismiss all of them as too old to be interesting or fun or relevant, I will think exactly the same about you as I think about someone saying that nothing written these days can hold a candle to the classics. Both positions are just ridiculous and suggest you’re a lousy reader.

Many classics of literature are interesting and worth engaging with, and many are dull, just like everything else, and here’s the key thing: which are which is going to vary from person to person.

If you know basic kabbalah it's actually not too hard to make a golem out of a labubu. Don't recommend it though. They have a pre-existing body-dharma. As soon as they wake they run straight for the sea. V hard to counter. Lost the first one. No idea what it's doing out there. Moved like lightning.
