Mick Foley is my only favorite from the Attitude era who hasn't disappointed me. Foley Remains Good.

The Life of Chuck was a lovely movie. I was somehow surprised when it ended, expecting some fourth act to come out of nowhere.

Virginia Heffernan wrote this shortly after the 2016 election and it still holds true
THIS is what makes my head spin: The president is not a moral figure in any idiom, any land, any culture, any subculture. I'm not talking about the liberal enlightenment that would make him want the country to take care of the poor and sick. I mean he has no Republican values either. He has no honor among thieves, no cosa nostra loyalty, no Southern code against cheating or lying, none of the openness of New York, rectitude of Boston, expressiveness and kindness of California, no evangelical family values, no Protestant work ethic. No Catholic moral seriousness, no sense of contrition or gratitude. No Jewish moral and intellectual precision, sense of history. He doesn't care about the life of the mind OR the life of the senses. He is not mandarin, not committed to inquiry or justice, not hospitable. He is not proper. He is not a bon vivant who loves to eat, drink, laugh. There's nothing he would die for - not American values, obviously, but not the land of Russia or his wife or young son. He has some hollow success creeds from Norman Vincent Peale, but Peale was obsessed with fair-dealing and a Presbyterian pastor; Trump has no fairness or piety. He's not sentimental; no affection for dogs or babies. No love for mothers, "the common man"" veterans. He has no sense of military valor, and is openly a coward about war. He would have sorely lacked the pagan beauty and capacity to fight required in ancient Greece. He doesn't care about his wife or wives; he is a philanderer but he's not a romantic hero with great love for women and sex. He commands loyalty and labor from his children not because he loves them, even; he seems almost to hate them — and if one of them slipped it would be terrifying. He does no philanthropy. He doesn't - in a more secular key - even seem to have a sense of his enlightened self-interest enough to shake Angela Merkel's hand. Doesn't even affect a love for the arts, like most rich New Yorkers. He doesn't live and die by aesthetics and health practices like some fascists; he's very ugly and barely mammalian. Am I missing an obscure moral system to which he so much as nods? Also are there other people, living or dead, like him?

You know it's gonna be a weird day when the first person to wish you happy birthday is Norman Reedus, followed by Léa Seydoux, Elle Fanning, George Miller, Norman Reedus, Nicolas Winding Refn, Shioli Kutsuna, Fatih Akin, Norman Reedus, Tommie Earl Jenkins, Troy Baker, and finally Mads Mikkelsen.

Me watching Bill Murray movies in the 80s-90s: "Man, this guy is a hilarious, lovable rascal."

Me watching those same movies now: "These women have superhuman patience."

He might look like a festive angel, but Cous Cous had just been trying to climb into the tree to pull down the lights.
An orange tabby cat sits on the lower platform of his cat tree, right next to a fake-ass Xmas tree, whose lights glow yuletidedly in the foreground. The cat's eyes are dilated, and three Xmas lights are reflected in each of his eyes. He has devious plans as soon as I turn around.

No one before Sam successfully raised a child, which is why the human species went extinct in Mesopotamia. Seriously, the best way to read this is that countless billions of humans did just fine but Sam is not as competent and self-reliant as them, and that's what AI wants us to be: dependent.

Our cat is insane. And now he rest.
An orange tabby cat lies on the top of a cat tree. He has one leg leaning on the cushioned end of the bed, which gives the appearance that he's casually leaning on a bar.

This blog post's title and the highlighted line are darkly funny when you consider Altman is known for dating way younger men.

Lachy Groom, a tech exec who got a job at a Y Combinator company right out of high school, then dated 29-year-old Altman when he was just 19, gets a 'special thanks.'
Sam Altman « Back to blog Advice for ambitious 19 year olds "I'm an ambitious 19 year old, what should I do?" I get asked this question fairly often, and I now have a lot of data on what works, so I thought l'd share my response. Thanks to Lachy Groom and Nick Sivo for reading drafts of this. [1] Sometimes, a 4th option is being a VC. This is usually a mistake— the best way to become a VC is not to grind your way up the ladder from junior associate intern. Even if you want to be a VC, you're much better off starting or joining a startup, and getting partner offers when you're 28. Plus, good founders want to work with an investor that has operational experience. [2] Interestingly, no one is ever considering going into academia.
