Fell from the quintessential boomer tree and hit every cliche on the way down. (You'll never take me alive, coppa).

Worth it. America desperately needs more "Saw" movies. 10 of them is simply not enough.

The investment community: people who know the difference between big numbers and little numbers...barely. Like millions of Americans, my confidence in the investment community was annihilated nearly 20 years ago. Some are genuinely virtuous people, but most are greedy, babbling lemmings.

The level of vendor financing involved in AI buildout is interesting. Do savvy investment analysts ever use phrases such "daisy chain" or "circular jerkular"?

Personally, I'm psyched. I've heard they were working on these book things and have begun setting up a workout area in my home, in the room I used to refer as "my library." Techbros lead the way!

We are not destroyed. We have identified a springboard from which we will launch into a new era of progressive policy. Remember your Star Trek movie lore, Will. Slingshot effect.

Of the thousands of movies I've screened over my long life as a moviegoer, there are only three I've watched and then immediately watched again. Get Out is one of them. It's a masterpiece.

Funny you write this the day after I started watching the documentary series "Tricky Dick" and as a consequence am currently fending off long-buried Watergate Era angst struggling to resurface. From $18,000 slush fund and Checkers to Trump Family billions. What a long, hard fall, America.

Maybe. Or maybe there are a lot of homeless people in big West Coast cities because the weather's great for outdoor living and authorities are generally tolerant. NYC is a different story.

Congrats. The proverbial mountain is coming to you. Accidentally stumbled across second half of your interview with MM on Fox today. Had I known in advance, I'd have recorded it. It's late in the game, so I won't offer my critique (fwiw), but you're clearly on path to victory. You did it, man!

Speaking of deflating bubbles, I have "Margin Call" on my watchlist. I've seen it twice, but it's been a while and now might be a good time to screen it again.

This is why emphasis on Vo Tech is such a huge mistake. His exposure to deep thoughts culminated in adolescence, when he operated a cash register at McDonald's. A teenaged nerd with $100 billion and big ideas. Swell.

Include me in that category. I was a big fan of Rage in the 90s, when they were absolutely badass. Have no idea what they're about now. Maybe older and richer, but still alive and kicking?

I went through the entirety of season one in two days. Tuned in to season 2 and halfway first episode, decided "Nope. Can't do this again."

Having adopted JB's definition of woke which he offered in recent NYT discussion, I'm going to invoke Dylan because there's a Dylan for every occasion. Check out the lyrics to Forever Young and notice how perfectly woke works. (May you stay forever woke.)

Agree that consolidation in hospital ownership results in bloat, but is this actually "the real driver" of healthcare cost crisis? Cursory look suggests it might be possible to wring out maybe $20 to $40 billion a year, which doesn't really move the needle. What am I missing here?

Except that many of the people who read Ayn Rand didn't get to it until later in life, because at age 13 they were still struggling with books about Dick & Jane.

Oh, so that's where the subjugation of women started. I thought it was more or less an element of the human condition going back thousands of years.

I'm okay with medicare for all, provided: 1) there is virtually no opportunity for the wealthy and powerful to opt out or pursue concierge healthcare 2) doctors and nurses are assigned to patients using a randomized lottery system Everybody gets the same care, including wealthy hypocrites.

"Past performance is not indicative of future results." -- standard financial disclosure Yes, we can use current challenges as launching pad for a new progressive surge forward, but there are vast differences between America of a century ago and America today. Are we up to it? Let's hope so.

Speaking truth to pain just might include telling Americans that if they want a vastly improved quality of life, they need to stop doing stupid shit (as the greatest potus of the 21st century would say). (Unfortunately, this is America and we can't handle the truth.)
