Anyway, to my colleagues in politically maligned but in-demand disciplines, I know it is hard to be this hot. All the weird dudes hate us and the other girlies want to be us. Stay hot, anyway. Stay hot, my friends.

Not caring about criticism is, as it ever has been, pure affectation. The “not caring” is usually loaded with evidence of ongoing consumption & criticism is everywhere. If noBOdY cAReS aBoUt cRiTiCisM, there would be no podcast networks.

If, ten years ago, someone had told you that people could subscribe to a service that can authoritatively fake everything from legal opinions and expert witness reports to determinations about recidivism and insurance claims you’d have said, “ban whatever that is immediately.”

You can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.

To our dismay, the artist and author Marjane Satrapi has passed away. As she wrote, ordinary Americans and Iranians have more in common with each other than we do with either of our governments, which have far too much in common with each other. We honor her memory and oppose the war.

NO WAR WITH IRAN!
The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West.
You are American, I am Iranian, we don’t know each other, but we talk together
& we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you
& your government is much bigger than the difference
between you & me.
And the difference between me
& my government is much bigger
than the difference
between me & you.
And our governments are very much the same...
—Marjane Satrapi
