Very much enjoyed this. But very much resent the pre-Mounjaro publicity still from
NPR.

[James Madison Program @MadisonProgram]

Madison's Notes is out with a new episode: "A Divine Comedy."

Host Ryan Shinkel (@RyanShinkel) interviewed Rob Long (@rcbl), the TV writer & producer turned divinity student & future Episcopal priest, to talk about all things Hollywood & holiness.

They discuss the sitcom Cheers, the writer's room, whether art can survive AI, Jerusalem pilgrimages, the nature of humor, a sermon's proper length, if Jesus ever laughed, along with Dick Van Dyke & Michaelangelo, Aristotle & Moliere, P.G. Wodehouse & P.J. O'Rourke, plus much more.

Please enjoy: https://t.co/C4RNqfpYnM

@larmanius @Lileks @Ricochet This is excellent intel. Thanks!

@sammandel @FieldyAI You know, I honestly can't remember why I bought it in the first place -- all I can see now is the red fog of rage at the stupid plastic useless device that doesn't work -- but for IRS purposes, yes it was a business expense.

[Rob Long @rcbl]

Whatever mistakes you may have made in life, whatever mistakes you might make in the future, here's one you can avoid: do not buy, do not even think about buying, a Fieldy device from @FieldyAI. Trust me: totally, utterly, completely useless.

[Rob Long @rcbl]

@coachhockley It does a great job of cutting through the noise, if by "noise" you mean the noise something makes when it's actually working.

[Rob Long @rcbl]

@Tracelator @FieldyAI I'm just a simple man. But if I can save one potential buyer of this useless item, I guess you could use that term.

[Rob Long @rcbl]

@Tracelator @FieldyAI Exactly. And I should have known. But I'm making it my mission to warn the others! It's like that old documentary "Scared Straight" but for wearable AI devices. Just don't do it.

[Rob Long @rcbl]

@az_morlock @FieldyAI Well, who knows? But in the case of this device and this company, it's a whole lotta A and not even a trace of I.

[Rob Long @rcbl]

@klaasm67 I agree.

@kasstl1 Thank you!

@AprilPonnuru Well, they don’t knight you, but you often get a really nice free lunch. It used to be a very lucrative occupation, but not so much these days. If you can, gently guide your son into learning to love the world of quantitative financial investing.

@bendreyfuss @HartWexford Okay, so he sewed some idiotic appliqués on it. In my day, I saw a lot of outerwear with "Echo and the Bunnymen" ironed on. Let's all simmer down.

[Rob Long @rcbl]

@bendreyfuss @HartWexford It's a Polo Coat. Because I am a menswear nerd I have one in navy and one in grey. Also: so did Cary Grant, a famous Nazi.
