I really adored Clarissa - partly for the glimpses and sounds of Nigeria that sneak through a well told story. Though I’m Learning that people have a lot of feelings about Mrs. Dalloway. Including some guy at the coffee shop downstairs who was doing a literary analysis of where the movie erred.

My husband thinks my letterboxed reviews are too matter of fact. I had to remind him thati was a math major. Also, it’s really just there to remind me of what I’ve seen and liked.

So you know previous waves of technological fabulism the tech companies threw a little loose change at social behavioral research and user interface experience. whats interesting about AI interesting is that they aren’t even pretending to care about how people use the technology.

I did a cool thing at work this week and then proceeded to say it had been ‘on the side of a napkin’. And as idiomatic portmanteaus go, I’m super fond of that. Though I wish I’d said off the side of a napkin, which would definitely involve crayons on the furniture.

Their airport reno was already a disaster. Between not being able to find decent rental cars at this airport in the last year or two, having to walk around the side of the airport to catch the rentals shuttle, and it taking 20-30 mins to take the 20 off-ramp to get to YUL, I’m not surprised at all.

I'm fond of how matter of fact the Economist can be (for better or worse): "The tide turned on the oysterman yesterday, after Mr Platner—who has weathered a stream of scandals—was accused of sexual assault." A very steady, extremely damning summary. Pls go back to discussing who's being damned.

This birthright ruling is why I just refuse to tolerate all the Democrat garment rending over NY voters choosing progressive candidates. They are incapable of governing in this moment. The politics of appeasement and centrism gets us to a 5-4 decision on the constitutional question.

Happy 100th birthday, Mel Brooks! Here’s some great advice he gave me back he was a wee lad of 95. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
You have some wonderful stories of basically getting away with stuff at the studios.

I’d learned one very simple trick: say yes. Simply say yes. Like Joseph E. Levine, on “The Producers,” said, “The curly-haired guy—he’s funny looking. Fire him.” He wanted me to fire Gene Wilder. And I said, “Yes, he’s gone. I’m firing him.” I never did. But he forgot. After the screening of “Blazing Saddles,” the head of Warner Bros. threw me into the manager’s office, gave me a legal pad and a pencil, and gave me maybe twenty notes. He would have changed “Blazing Saddles” from a daring, funny, crazy picture to a stultified, dull, dusty old Western. He said, “No farting.” I said, “It’s out.”That’s probably the most famous scene in the movie, the campfire scene.

I know. He said, “You can’t punch a horse.” I said, “You’ll never see it again.” I kept saying, “You’re absolutely right. It’s out!” Then, when he left, I crumpled up all his notes, and I tossed it in the wastepaper basket. And John Calley, who was running [production at] Warner Bros. at the time, said, “Good filing.” That was the end of it. You say yes, and you never do it.

That’s great advice for life.

It is. Don’t fight them. Don’t waste your time struggling with them and trying to make sense to them. They’ll never understand.

I often think about how much chaos is in my little corner of the world, but then I go somewhere else and see how things are breaking down there. There are two ways you can look at this: 1. I guess everyone has problems. Let’s make the best of it. Or 2. Why are we in this handbasket? Choose 1.
