Spielberg has shifted roles from movie making artist to social commentator on the consequences he hopes to achieve. Makes him look like a PR flak, diminishes his artistic power.

[Roger Avary @AVARY]

I wish I could just see the movie fresh without seeing Spielberg around every corner qualifying everything beforehand. He's actually lowering my interest with every interview.

[Keith Thompson @KeithThompson1]

The documentary seems to scheduled for a short run in theaters. Are there plans to stream the movie soon?

Hey, deep sleep is huge for hit hay to heal, regardless whether hay’s hardly hit or hay’s hit hard.

I’m so tired I’m going to hit the hay and then I’m going to bed

‘Harry and Tonto.’ Hard to find this classic about never too late to live your best life.

Underrated movie suggestions 🤔

I was given some bad information and apparently I’m not the new Supreme Leader. Khamenei’s stupid nepo baby son actually got the job

The ease with which Iran’s leadership has murdered thousands of freedom-seeking Iranians with apparent glee, makes an unthinkable prospect conceivable. Perhaps the regime is an enthusiastic death cult that not only doesn’t fear but perversely welcomes Trump’s threats to obliterate the nation’s infrastructure.

There are moments when meaning no longer holds.

And still—something remains.

“White guilt is the most important story no one is telling honestly. Not Marxism. Not woke ideology. Not suicidal empathy. Those are symptoms. White guilt is the disease that allows these other ideologies and behaviors to take hold. It’s the grease that makes all of it possible, and until we name it clearly, we have no chance of reversing it.”

Over 20 years ago, I published an essay called Leaving the Left, my attempt to describe how genuine liberalism had morphed into a pernicious doctrine that declared itself Progressivism in order to repackage as “social justice” the pathologies that had infected Russia, China, Cuba, and Cambodia.

Shelby Steele’s brilliant work had cut far deeper, naming the toxic ideological fervor that had corrupted the Civil Rights Movement and coaxed the West to turn against championing the individual. Now @Hebro_Steele continues the fight.

“White Guilt” is the most timely, the most insightful, the most important documentary of my time on this Earth.

Thank you, Lucille Clifton. Thank you.

One reason we mourn the death of wise public figures is that when they’re gone, their wisdom usually goes with them. Scott Adams turned that around, taking pains to teach everything he understood about his craft, persuasive rhetoric, especially the crash course of his final weeks of living.

I do miss the simultaneous sip, yet delight in celebrating how he put everything he knew into the space between his camera and millions of small screens.

Life always gives it to you straight, only sometimes are you willing to use what you get. Say you realize in two apparently separate domains of your life, you’re given the same problem/issue, wrapped up as different people and circumstances. This is a powerful opportunity to break separation-myopia and resolve something crucial about how you actually are in the world. Practice hearing echoes, seeing patterns beyond “apparent” boundaries.

Illuminating political conversation with a very progressive friend, to whom I described my gradual process of learning to question my formally reflexive, leftist assumptions. A week later she confessed that she was terrified by what she imagined my beliefs might be now. The mere fact of entertaining second thoughts must mean reflexive movement to some imagined far right—what other option? This unwillingness to learn outside rigid silos is everywhere. It’s how we are expected to live now. We can say no to this; we must.

Are you suggesting ‘milk and cookies at night’ might not be optimal? 🥛🍪

@gregogallagher Or....you could just eat foods that actually satiate you...🤯

What we call ‘aging’ has many facets, only some of which can be measured by health metrics on an Apple Watch or similar device. Staying engaged with what you enjoy is huge, and staying interested goes hand in hand. From a birder friend I learned to pay attention to feathered flying creatures, their color patterns as well as their distinctive sounds. This has had the effect of creating a new dimension of ongoing experience. The birds and I were both there, now there’s a connection.

Helped a new friend move today, from the middle of a street to a nearby natural ravine.

Good that you’re acknowledging this shift from ‘natural/natty’ in your protocols, rather than doing it ‘on the sly’ as some trainers do. You’re adding a wrinkle of complexity to your existing business model, which will likely encourage some to start with peptides rather than prioritizing diet/exercise as you’ve long advocated.

[Greg O'Gallagher @gregogallagher]

Yes, I’m going on tirzepatide.

You must lead by example.

Removing friction and making sticking to calorie goals effortlessly is a massive fkn unlock with cascading benefits. Improving insulin sensitivity is also fkn great.

I want to experiment with it so I can coach and speak to it from personal experience
