- the richest man in the world should not be so online. it’s unbecoming. JP Morgan once took a boat to Egypt because he wanted to sleep in a tomb to imagine what it’s like to be a dead Pharaoh. that’s what rich people should be doing. not tweeting about NYT movie lists. yuck.
- “Stats are numbers, numbers are nerds, nerds are losers.”
Jason Kelce blasts statistics in wild rant: 'Stats are numbers, numbers are nerds, nerds are losers' trib.al/IcQSLpp - good example of “Catholic Brain”: being a nonbelieving atheist who was raised Catholic, seeing people fretting about “the rapture,” and having a little voice in your head that instinctively scoffs “you’re not even real Christians.”
- not to "hand it to him" but convincing all your rich famous friends to send you sexually explicit notes and doodles for a "birthday book" (not a thing) is a pretty good way to exert leverage on those people.
- the episode of BAR RESCUE where Jon Taffer turns a pirate-themed tavern into “Corporate Bar & Grill,” whose logo is a faceless man in a suit: the most evil hour of TV ever produced. never has a man ground human souls into dirt with such relish. monstrous.

- Gilbert Gottfried died as he lived, with people saying “too soon.”
- not much of a "God Guy." but when you learn that Ray Liotta's final, posthumous performance is in a movie called "Cocaine Bear," and that this is his look in it? well, it's hard not to believe there's some divine architecture glistening behind this pale drape we call "reality."
- they made a series of profitable comedy movies in the 1980s about just how insanely brutal it was to be with your family inside one of these.
