Not judgmental
It’s much harder than it seems, especially when your gut reaction is highly-charged emotion.
But try it.
Make it an all-day meditation about EVERYTHING. Even when you stumble (and you will), try again.
See what it does for you.

Burlesque can be interesting. And this is clearly burlesque. Maybe this bit isn’t your cup of tea, but all these ‘disgusting’ protestations of yours and in the comments - about THIS clip! - are hilariously overwrought. And likely political. Shall I fetch your

I agree, these urges exist.
But you promote raw submission to barbarism. The real men in the world will, indeed, fight when necessary. BUT, they love peace and their fellow humans, and they have learned to sublimate their baser urges for much more valuable characteristics.

I used to tease my cousin, Jim, by calling him a ‘sexy beast.’ Which to me was about a kind of good faith divine struggle I could see in him. That kind of energy is very ‘sexy’ to me.

Did you know that in wolf packs on the move, the alpha very often takes the end of the line? He knows he’s in charge and will wait to be sure every other pack member passes safely, and then he takes up the rear so he can continue to see that through and watch over them.

I have, however, met many many people who seem significantly happier and to have made much wiser life choices than I have…

Ha! It’s pretty cheeky for sure. It gets close to mimicking, but not really. And that’s what burlesque can definitely be: comical, exaggerated, suggestive striptease. I’m not commenting on my issues with it or even if I like it. I’m just sayin: take a breath. :)

I noticed that as well. And I did think it was about the narrative, yes. But it seemed pretty overt to me. I already know their policies and he’s making a point about the large numbers of countries who have other policies.
To me, Whitney’s Super Bowl National Anthem performance still remains at the tippy top pinnacle of any other.
She lends it her own color and cadence, but her gymnastics never pull me out of it. She never once fails to string those beautiful pearls together.

I didn’t know Oliver Anthony existed before two days ago, and I’m intrigued. I’m also very annoyed. Literally EVERY pundit on the planet is trying to either claim him or paint him. ‘Let’s reduce him to a digestible package we can understand and use for our own purposes.’

I really don’t get the loyalty. I mean… I get the middle finger impulse. But, damn… Trump has proved he is loyal to ONLY himself. He would eat his own followers if he thought it would help his objectives. He has demonstrated this repeatedly in real time.
“It was the one moment in our lives that my brother was not as strong as he believed, and I was not as weak. It was the moment that made everything else possible.”
Maybe the most depressing aspect of our modern American discourse is that fewer and fewer PEOPLE interact with each other.
We only get factional representatives.

So much reactionary emotion around watching other situations where law enforcement does nothing to deal with shoplifters. But this does NOT mean we massively overcorrect by shooting them dead. The office had several non-lethal avenues to choose from. He could

So glad the world got to share a little of him. So magnificent. But so are you in your very own way. Lost my dad 21 years ago. The immediacy of the pain dissipates, butthe hole never goes away. In a real sense, it’s a comfort. Your dad always has a spot in your soul.

Ask him about the South Park ‘Buck Rogers’ episodes where their parody of him had a love affair with ‘Mrs.’ Garrison. I’d love to know if they asked him to voice his own character, because it would have been hilarious if he’d leaned into it and voiced it himself.

Those episodes were so insane and brilliant: nearly perfect. The only thing missing was the actual Richard Dawkins’ voice. That would have been friggin amazing!

Maybe. And I’m inclined to agree, but then I remember it’s always easy and very chic to judge people whose political messaging I don’t like, and who appears to be a creep. But, honestly, I don’t actually know the first thing about him. Only allegations.
Trojan war myths and the Oresteia have long fascinated me.

Yes, you do belong here. But part of ‘belonging’ is going about your day like everyone else. You don’t need to be singled out and elevated with a permanent ‘let’s celebrate your sexual preferences’ symbol on display…to go about your day… like everyone else…

Three of my favorite lines, all in one episode:
“It’s Shelley and you know it, you dithering kestrel!”
“F*ck, you’re amazing, let’s invade France.”
“Shut up. Just shut up. You had me at coach.”
Bonus, in the very next episode:
“You couldn’t f*cking build…Jeff Bridges!”
A friend reminded me yesterday of this sequence.
Deconstructing Harry doesn’t make even my top ten Woody Allen films, but this sequence in that film is definitely in contention for my all-time favorite Woody Allen film moments. It is cackling-with-glee funny to me.
The absurd
The idea of changing the name of twitter to ‘X’ seems a bit retro to me.
And that’s fine.
But if we’re gonna do that, I say instead of calling it ‘tweeting,’ we call it ‘faxing.’
‘Despair, or folly?’ said Gandalf. ‘It is not despair, for despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not. It is wisdom to recognize necessity, when all other courses have been weighed, though as folly it may appear to those who cling to false hope. Well,

You asked the audience to view Putin as sincere rather than filibustering. And perhaps he did believe himself to be sincere. But he WAS ALSO filibustering for the entire two hours. He sounded like he was trying to play the Russian trope role of ‘benevolent wise father.’

Matt, it wasn’t about ‘correct.’ It was about ‘mean-spirited and nasty.’
Hugo’s character, Javert, was ‘correct.’ He also became lost in a self-righteous-zealot-jackass spiral which totally enveloped him and ended in suicide. The danger is as real for you as it is for those you
