Wow! This is so good. Barack Obama knows exactly what to say, every damn time.
He taps into the struggle we are experiencing in society & in politics with culture wars, diversity and inclusion and the dangers ahead — unless we find a way to live & let live.
“It’s easier for people to agree on stuff when the majority of people look the same, worship the same way & share the same traditions. It’s harder as societies become more diverse, and everybody is at the table.”
Worth really taking in.

Since this once-spunky-if-odd website seems destined to collapse in on itself in the days ahead, becoming a black hole occupied by people who think the globe is cooling, polio wouldn't be so bad, and being awake is a terrible fate, I feel like getting a few things out while I can
@mtaeckens Only @ BEA. Conventional rules don’t apply there. One year I covertly scavenged electrical cords from a vacant foreign rights booth with Robert Zemeckis. Anything that wasn’t nailed down we pulled out of the wall and took. Great directors ask for forgiveness not permission.
Hey SF- two shows coming up. Uptown Controllers at Cafe du Nord Nov 5 and a solo acoustic set Nov 6 at the SF premiere of #TheClaw film, about my fav old school AWA wrestler Baron von Rashke. This is going to be an awesome weekend! https://t.co/CnS1SughWj

Most books printed from 1890 till today will not last more than 200 years. Like the paper will literally disintegrate. Books from before then basically do not have an expiry date?? Like no one knows if/when they will break down. A book from 1602 will last longer than from 1992.
