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.

Sometimes a drug trip is a profound experience where you realize that you’ve been carrying pain in your heart for years, that you can forgive yourself. Other times you come up with a concept called “gay money” (money that’s gay) and you text your friend “gay money” days later. Both are healing. ❤️‍🩹

This is the worst thing that’s ever been written but I do love the idea that rap music now represents a stifling all encompassing HR bureaucracy, I reject the Yin Yang Twins attempts to get me to dress in business casual clothing and spend all day in an office being lectured to

so is DEI an all-powerful institution running rampant throughout society or is DEI a pitiably weak enemy that can easily be crushed with the accomulation of power? and is there a pithy explanation of this phenomenon from a prominent midcentury semiotician i can use as shorthand

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

A long cardboard tube. The closer end is labeled 'talking like darth vader' and the other, longer portion is labeled 'hitting your little brother'

Wow. Just told the Ukrainian child I adopted who I am starting suspect might be a full grown adult woman about Gloria Steinem. She had tears in her eyes. And then she did the Wakanda pose and said "Steinkanda Forever" -- which is the sort of pop culture cross-over I can celebrate

Center-left power brokers want Jon Stewart circa 2004, while ignoring that a) Jon Stewart drew a lot of similar tut-tutting among then-center lefties (he WASN'T a REAL NEWSMAN) and b) the media environment that made Jon Stewart possible is largely dead.

found out that Arjen Robben played a professional padel tournament last year and a bit ago also did a great time in the Rotterdam marathon. it's really funny to me for some reason that he's apparently just a top athlete in whatever he does

Lindsey Graham got the diarrhea and died. "There was nothing left when he was done," said an aide. "Now we have to try to put the diarrhea back in so we can bury something three dimensional," he added. RFK Jr. is going to give kids in school diarrhea to honor Lindsey Graham and make them stronger.

I don’t know why I was seized with the urge to find out what Dan Aykroyd thought of DISCLOSURE DAY, but my mannnnnnn
A tweet from Dan Aykroyd:

Cracking some Heads to share with friends as we see Spielberg's masterwork 'Disclosure Day' for the third time. His research into UFO folklore is impeccable. He depicts the night Nixon took Jackie Gleason to see the E. B. E. bodies. Hope there's a sequel. The Old Tall Gray's peeps should blow into town and take him home.
