“Give them a massive amount of oil, agricultural land, copper, freshwater, and every natural resource in the world. Now make them neighbors with the biggest market in the world. Great, now have them leave the resources in the ground and instead flip condos to each other”.
In 2004, Kanye West was filming “Jesus Walks” when Punk’d pranked him by saying the shoot was illegal and they wanted to seize his footage 😭💔
Instead of cooperating, Kanye grabbed the film and tried to drive off with it… forcing Ashton Kutcher to chase him down 🤣
Bad CGI rarely gets more famous than the Scorpion King in The Mummy Returns (2001), an early digital attempt at recreating Dwayne Johnson that quickly became one of the most talked-about effects misfires of the era.
Wife made me go to couples therapy last week
Nice office
Two couches
Box of tissues
The therapist asked what brings us in
My wife said "he treats everything like a transaction"
I said "that's not true"
The therapist asked me to give an example of something I do that isn't transactional
I thought about it for 11 seconds
I could not think of an example
The therapist asked how that made me feel
I said "efficient"
My wife looked at the therapist
The therapist looked at my wife
They had a moment
I was not part of the moment
My wife said "do you love me?"
I said "I chose you. Every day I choose you. That's not emotion. That's a commitment with a compounding return and I don't see a better alternative in the market."
The room went quiet
My wife cried
The therapist cried
I didn't understand why
That was the most romantic thing I've ever said
The therapist said "I think we should meet weekly"
I said "what's your hourly rate?"
She said "$275"
I said "for both of us or each?"
My wife picked up her purse and walked out
I stayed to negotiate the rate
Got it down to $250
Small win

The year is 2006. Leafs are led by a gold medalist captain. Domi gets too many minutes, McCabe is on the top pair. They refuse to rebuild.
