I was making dinner listening to my “10 Years of Apple Music” playlist and the main theme from Field of Dreams came on and I broke down like a baby. 24K Magic came on next so I snapped out of it, but it was cathartic.

That this is considered a radical and newsworthy statement tells you all you need to know about where we are right now. (Gift link) We Shouldn’t Have Billionaires, Mamdani Says

Has my vote for President, frankly.
Zohran Mamdani, who campaigned for mayor on the theme of making New York City more affordable, said in a major national television interview that during a time of rising inequality, "I don't think we should have billionaires.”

No, definitely not me turning down the brightness of my screen with the volume button (and assuming something was broken when it wasn’t working). Definitely not.

It’s tough because I largely agree with people saying we should have a better balance on here between politics and other things but then the President declares war or a bunch of people get kidnapped and it feels a little silly to finish typing out “what’s your favorite Futurama episode”

I don’t need members of Congress issuing Official Statements on Letterhead. I need you on my screen telling me what you’re going to do. The President (god help us) just declared war without congressional approval. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

I just finished a jar of salsa and got a wild idea and mixed a gin martini in the empty salsa jar, and I’m not mad at it?? (Then I figured what the hey and added a couple of drops of olive oil and a sprinkle of lime pepper.) Am I an influencer now

In today’s episode of What Is Time Anyway, we are driving down WNC back roads on a hot June morning with the windows down, and we are putting on Jimmy Buffett’s Changes In Latitudes album for the first time in maybe 15-20 years and it is 1997 and we are 19 and know nothing about anything.

I got into a lively back and forth this week with a NY lawyer about including a bunch of reps about unions in a real estate sale contract in South Carolina. Like, my man, as much as I wish unions were a thing down here, I am telling you, they are not going to agree to this.

I am begging of everyone. At this point it seems like “Artificial Intelligence” may be remembered one of the great well-intentioned but tragically flawed terms of art co-opted for purposes beyond and by forces opposed to the original intention. Like “global warming.”

I don’t know how the government contracts work, but every time one of those things blows up, I wonder: how much did we pay for that, and how much are we paying to clean that up, and how much are we paying for the next one, and how much of that money is going to whom.

Anyone that knows me IRL knows one of my favorite movies is The Hunt For Red October, and I’d just like to say I never thought I’d feel these particular lines so frequently in my adult life: “This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it.”
