Hey! Josh and Andy and I chatted for a bit about stuff, and somehow Josh and I didn’t start into the Wawa vs Sheetz debate until the end. I thought we could finally settle it.

My meditation app tried to do some AI therapy on me, and I realized why I don’t think I could ever get into LLMs, even if I wasn’t morally opposed to everything else surrounding the tech—I just really hate texting people. I was so bored with it asking me how I was feeling, I shut it down.

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

ISILDUR: true

actual *literal* Caesarism; the Augustus adopted the title Imperator -- "Emperor", a civilian military title -- in part because the Romans had long tradition of rejecting the concept of kings.

“What’s the worst song then?”

That’s easy. It’s “Good Night”, which is like pouring syrup in your ear.

“Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da” isn’t even the worst song on The White Album.

We are trying to get my mom into The Simpsons by showing her Marge Vs the Monorail. If this doesn’t work, I give up.

Grant had many “comedies of divorce”, and everyone flocks to The Philadelphia Story—and hey, I get it, Katherine Hepburn combined with throwing in Jimmy Stewart’s cynical reporter is dynamite—but Awful Truth is a perfect jewel of a movie.

The Awful Truth is one of the greatest comedies ever made, up there with It Happened One Night and any of the Coen Brothers movies.

Tawny owl

Tawny owl

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵
