having to come to terms with the fact that love is not an everlasting performance in which you attempt to retain the attention of your significant other but rather a release of control and putting faith into them and trusting them to choose to stay with you no matter what you have to offer
to love and be loved is to rest
I spent the last few months talking to people across the political spectrum, and to people who want nothing to do with politics at all. Here is what I learned.
We are not a divided country. We are a country being divided, on purpose, by an American oligarchy that profits from the fight. They’ve captured our government, denied our healthcare, looted our treasury, and saddled us with crippling debt.
I believe in a New New Deal. Healthcare as a human right. The right of every family to a decent home, and an end to endless wars.
And a dividend paid to every American from the AI economy, because these machines were built on the whole of human inheritance. That inheritance belongs to all of us, and not just to the handful of men playing God with our very existence.
And none of it happens if we just move on. Donald Trump, his family, and his administration are robbing us blind, not just of our money, but of our faith in one another, and they have to answer for it. Truth and reconciliation, not revenge. Then we break the system that let them do it.
The question is not whether we will lose our democracy. The question is whether we will fight to take back what has already been stolen.
I learned in recovery that you can’t heal what you won’t name. Neither can a country.
Anne Hathaway says she’s only received one “perfect” from Christopher Nolan across the three films she’s made with him, admitting she cried and wrote it in her journal afterward.
Matt Damon: Chris has a tendency to be a little circumspect, so when you do a really good job, he tends to go, “Yeah, good. Yeah, all right.” And that’s kind of it. It was pretty funny when we were making it because Zendaya came and did something, and the camera cut. There was this long pause, and Chris said, “Perfect.”
Anne Hathaway: That’s next level.
Matt Damon: I’ve done like three movies with him and never heard that. So, that was an experience.
Brittany Broski: Hey, you’ll get there one day. Keep working.
Matt Damon: I’m trying.
Anne Hathaway: I’m not going to say what I’m about to say… but I’ve also made three films with him, and I have gotten one “perfect.”
Matt Damon: You have?
Anne Hathaway: I got one once.
Matt Damon: God damn it.
Anne Hathaway: I know, I’m sorry! It felt really good. It was amazing. I cried and wrote it in my journal.
Brittany Broski: That’s so sweet. You got to remember it.
Anne Hathaway: Yeah, I actually did go home and write in my journal every day on this one because there was so much happening, and I didn’t want it to turn into a blur. What was the thing you said about preparing for perfection and then letting it go?
Matt Damon: Prepare within an inch of your life.
Anne Hathaway: That’s it. You prepare within an inch of your life, but then you just go, “Okay, this is Chris’s show, and he’s the one who really sees the entire landscape.” So it becomes such a pleasure to let go.
Matt Damon: He’s an easy guy to trust. He really knows what he’s doing.
Happy 26th Anniversary my baby. I STILL love you more than my minuscule words could express. You gave me direction. Thank you forever.
