It is time for the United States Postal Service to ban junk mail.

Unsolicited spam calls are already prohibited by the FCC. Emails are heavily regulated by the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003. Junk mail is the majority of mail, 100 million trees per year. Enough!

@AOC The idea that all billionaires got their money by exploiting peopl doesn't hold up to any scrutiny.

JK Rowling wrote books about cheeky wizards. I invented a better way to make virtual reality headsets and games to play on them. We just made things people wanted.

Heard this in AA years before I realized it was wu wei:

“It's easier to act your way into new ways of thinking than it is to think your way into new ways of acting.”

It is 100% true that great men and women of the past were not sitting around moaning about their feelings. I regret nothing.

[Tim Ferriss @tferriss]

“One of the many life skills that you want to learn at a fairly young age is the skill of being an ultra-thrifty, minimal kind of little wisp that’s traveling through time . . . in the sense of learning how little you actually need to live, not just in a survival mode, but in a contented mode. . . . That gives you the confidence to take a risk, because you say, ‘What’s the worst that can happen? Well, the worst that can happen is that I’d have a backpack and a sleeping bag, and I’d be eating oatmeal. And I’d be fine.’”

The litany of humility is probably the most radical prayer I have ever come across and it has seriously impacted my life. Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.

I cannot wait until the White House changes hands and all of you ghouls switch back from "you're a traitor unless you bootlick so hard your tongue goes numb" to "the government asking any questions about my offshore fentanyl casino is vile tyranny and I will throw myself in the San Francisco Bay in protest", like werewolves at the last ray of the setting moon.

As promised, here's the short film Jia Zhangke produced using Seedance 2.0 for Chinese New Year and his take on AI filmmaking

As I keep saying, it’s not so much a slippery slope as a sheer drop into an abyss

If I foreigner asks me which one US city to visit to understand it, I would say Chicago.

LA/SF are coded as an Asian city, NYC European, but Chicago is very much an American city

@WillManidis The Master and Margarita is my clear winner. This article covers why. Anna Karenina and Brothers Karamazov would be my runners up.
