Grady gave a great introduction, about what it was like to be a star struck 24-year-old meeting his idol who was starring in a film based on his book. When asked why he had turned it into 3 days instead of six like the book, the producer replied, "because Redford would look terrible after six days"

saying that its a bit icky how Dunaway goes from 'you tied me up' to 'lets go to bed' Still, Grady was 23 when he wrote the book so maybe understandable.

Shocked, shocked I tell you. #OneBornEveryMinute
No shock here: The Guardian notes several phrases in the U.S. peace proposal to Ukraine appear to be directly translated from Russian.

One standout is the line “It is expected that Russia will not invade neighboring countries,” a clunky English phrasing mirroring the Russian “ожидается.”

I frequently use that Simpson's car as an example of what different units want our website to do if we don't add governance to their demands.....

There's a lot of mention about how the US will 'profit' from the deal (like getting a 'cut' of resources etc..). Nothing really about how Ukraine would.
