If the last season had never happened it would be debatable. I’d have probably given the edge to Jamie.

I think I need sleep. I thought you were writing that you got $30 million after your divorce. I was wondering who you were complaining to.

On a serious note. Are you ok?

nothing will come close to the cultural impact that the original had.

That’s part of the reason why I probably wouldn’t recommend old trek first to somebody. We don’t have the benefit of being able to go back to the cultural moment of the '60s Trek.

I compare it to how Wizard of Oz is a great movie, but you can’t really experience the transition to color that happened in the movie the same way someone in 1939 did. Plenty of TV shows were still in black and white all the way into the '60s.

I don’t really play video games a lot, but I’m going to save this list based solely on your hype.

The Covid lockdowns in winter were Christmas for antisocial people. Between the winter hats and mask you could be totally unidentifiable.

My macroecon book, which was written by a guy from the Bush administration, hit us over the head with that concept.

It’s strange to thing that he’d be considered a pariah by his party’s leadership now.

Why didn’t you drop the quotes from Turing, Minsky, and Lovelace?

I’d gamble a larger percentage of artists (whether music, acting, or painting) have affluent beginnings than the general population. It’s easier to rise through the struggle of a high risk profession if you have a safety net.

Don’t put the squeeze on the voters. They either didn’t vote for trump, or they were so dumb that they did vote for trump won’t understand why their electric bill went through the roof.

The whole point of democracy is the voters have an impact. If nothing changes for the voters don’t be surprised when they vote for the same party next time.

People use the word incel to the point of irrelevance. If you’re having sex you’re not involuntarily celibate.

Folks online were calling Henry Cavill an incel a while back. If these guys were celibate it would be by choice. If you’re trying to criticize them in other ways, why not use the right words?

I get why they did it, but I’m not bringing cops to my door as a gotcha.

This seems like a terrible idea. Even if you’re not committing any crime why would you want cops to pay attention to you?

Wasn’t Daniel Stern willing to stop robbing the house because there’s a kid? I trust the guy who does property damage over the one who’s dead set on terrorizing and torturing a kid.

It reminds me of that story where a robber steals a car, then when he notices there’s a kid in it he turns the car around to chastise the parent for leaving the kid inside. Don’t be a thief, but if you are don’t torture kids.
