I feel like a lot of the policies that come out of supposedly liberal cities due to the structure of moneyed/powered/embedded interests are responsible for dysfunction in those places and Vance types say how horrible those cities are and then… full-heartedly just spell out those policies and try to make them true everywhere?“the problems in SF are terrible, and that’s why we need policies that will make all places have the issues that exist there”

(re: jd vance, i forgot to mention that Hillbilly Elegy is one of the funniest movies i've seen in years. like, in a way that i didn't think anyone even made movies anymore. like, in that way that me and my sister used to endlessly recite lines from horrible t.v. movies when we were kids. that kind of funny.)

My insight is that Glenn Close is a terrible actress.
― the dreaded dependent claus (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 14 June 2023 21:50 (ten months ago) link
Glenn Close is a trashy actress who gets confused for a proper actress because she's got one of those Streep/Barkin faces. Used properly (The Shield, Damages, Fatal Attraction), she's great.

I was watching The Wife (still haven't finished it...) and I was imagining her playing The Joker. In the movie Joker.
(i'm definitely a fan. she's pretty fearless and fearless people fail a lot. but she's always kinda fun to watch.)

DON: I used to see Glenn at the usual Hollywood parties -- Elton's thing, David's thing. She struck me as a woman of extraordinary grace and delicacy, a true lady.

mentioned it recently but when a c-suite guy was speaking to a meeting I was in and he kept mentioning Friedman’s “The World is Flat” glowingly (a couple years after it’s release), I kept thinking he wasn’t long for that job
and, amazingly, he was not

Anyway, remember that time Trump went to Cafe Versailles and said "food for everyone"?
Yeah, he left without paying for anything.
Because of COURSE he did.

technically the article says he didn't actually order anything, as opposed to ordering food and dashing on the check
