"...fuck did i do?" if you think political change is a thing that happens on the internet you're fucking insane and your ideas are going to keep losing. yard signs don't vote, go knock doors.

Michael Carrick's United was so excited for Spurs to come to town and then Dr Tottenham hit em with the "physician, heal thyself." (these teams are both so bad.)

I think about this interview with the distinguished philosopher Conan O'Brien a lot. I actually think this is a healthy way to live your life! www.nytimes.com/2019/01/14/a...
Is this how you want to go out, with a show that gets smaller and smaller until it’s gone?

Maybe that’s O.K. I think you have more of a problem with that than I do. [Laughs.] At this point in my career, I could go out with a grand, 21-gun salute, and climb into a rocket and the entire Supreme Court walks out and they jointly press a button, I’m shot up into the air and there’s an explosion and it’s orange and it spells, “Good night and God love.” In this culture? Two years later, it’s going to be, who’s Conan? This is going to sound grim, but eventually, all our graves go unattended.

You’re right, that does sound grim.

Sorry. Calvin Coolidge was a pretty popular president. I’ve been to his grave in Vermont. It has the presidential seal on it. Nobody was there. And by the way, I’m the only late-night host that has been to Calvin Coolidge’s grave. I think that’s what separates me from the other hosts.

I had a great conversation with Albert Brooks once. When I met him for the first time, I was kind of stammering. I said, you make movies, they live on forever. I just do these late-night shows, they get lost, they’re never seen again and who cares? And he looked at me and he said, [Albert Brooks voice] “What are you talking about? None of it matters.” None of it matters? “No, that’s the secret. In 1940, people said Clark Gable is the face of the 20th Century. Who [expletive] thinks about Clark Gable? It doesn’t matter. You’ll be forgotten. I’ll be forgotten. We’ll all be forgotten.” It’s so funny because you’d think that would depress me. I was walking on air after that.

Forget grandiose talk of curing cancer - this is what AI is actually doing to healthcare. In the words of one cardiologist: “it’s bots fighting bots, agents fighting agents, a horrible dystopic future nobody wants to live in.”

i agree with the key point here and will add to it that there IS a reward, it’s knowing you did one right thing instead of walking around plagued by the nameless shame that afflicts all men who are determined to live the most frictionless lives possible

there's an infinite world of stuff like this -- things a given group feel super strongly about AND think are self-evidently, immovably correct rules about human conduct, or at least amount to an infallible if-then chain for assessing a stranger's fundamental character -- and it baffles me

* Breaking Bad is somewhere between 60 and 101 places too high * Watchmen is 15 to 30 places too low * zero seasons of Fargo is a madness * perpetuates the lie that there are more than 3 seasons of Arrested Development when we all know there are only and exactly 3 seasons of Arrested Development

a cool thing about Paramount Plus is how it pretends it can protect you from spoilers by letting you "watch from beginning" instead of "join(ing) live," but when you do that it flashes the current feed for a split second so you know the score you were trying to not know yet. good job tech dweebs!
