Even if a Simpsons episode doesn’t actually exist, I can imagine it right down to the details that “kids wouldn’t get it because they don’t write paper checks anymore,” that it might as well be real.

Roku City hitting me in the emotions now. Between the movie marquee of “Don’t Dream It, Be It” with Rocky Horror and Clue playing, the music building covered in the guitar and butterflies, and the red big semi cab rolling by on the street.

The thing about NOLA being a food town is that you think “I’m tired. I’ll just settle for the restaurant next to the hotel,” and you end up with biryani so flavorful that you’d think they grew the spices themselves and malai kofta dumplings that are light and crispy clouds of deliciousness.

(Inside baseball) The thing I find most galling about rollback of the CFPB, is that it was created in 2010 because of the Great Recession of ‘07-‘09. We lived through this! US Gov’t didn’t decide one day “Hey, banks should be more fair.” It was to recover from a collapse and intercept the next one.

People saying “This is not who we are,” and “This is not the way we do things in America,” and I’m like, my dog, have you ever read any book, article, podcast, pamphlet, or tweet about America? We DO this. We ARE this. The hope is we do better. But there’re still a lot of people opposing that.

Okay, I get it now. For the people who actually keep their work hours separate from life, work from home is just like the office. But to the manager answering emails on the back deck of the clubhouse between dances at their child’s wedding, WFH is indistinguishable from vacation.
