Here's some New Years perspective to start your 2023. Barbara Walters, Anne Frank, & Dr. MLK, Jr. were all born in 1929. Yet while we were just with Ms. Walters days ago, those two icons are portrayed as ancient history.
Remember, "The past is never dead. It's not even past.”

Modernity has tricked us into thinking that our most authentic desires are our strongest ones. That's a lie though. Even our strongest desires can make us miserable if we desire them not for the utility they provide, but for the status they'll purportedly bring us.

Bro, just come skiing with me. Lift tickets cost $150 per day and you can rent skis for another $50 and you can get a lesson for another $120. It’s so fun and your risk of injury is so high. C’mon bro, you won’t feel your hands & you’ll get sunburn on your face. Bro.

In 1951, Adelbert Ames created the mind-boggling ‘Ames Window’. It’s so effective that even when you know how it works you can’t break the illusion

The Boring Company was never a legitimate enterprise. Its entire purpose was to persuade states and municipalities to abandon mass transit initiatives by offering a tantalizing alternative that in fact would never work.
Just another con by our red-pilled billionaire. twitter.com/henrygrabar/st

They used to say there was something wrong with us because we only gathered in seedy bars. But that was where they herded us. That was the only space we were allowed. And when they attacked us in a gay bar one time too many... we poured out of not just that bar, but all of them.

People who hate queer people want us to keep it private. Behind closed doors. Someplace they don't have to see it. And the doors of a gay bar are doors we keep it behind. A place we can go and be together and not bother *them* with the fact of our existence.

I told my fifth grader that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wanted to take $7 out of every $10 she makes and my fifth grader told me that's not how tax brackets work and that I'd never make enough money to have to understand them anyway and also that she wants to live with her mom.

Real talk for younger voters. Biden delivered on two major policies I never thought I’d see: Student loan forgiveness and marijuana pardons.
If you don’t vote in midterms, you’ll be telling every politician in America passing policies younger voters care about doesn’t matter.

This is genius. Italian singer Adriano Celentano released a song in the 70s with nonsensical lyrics meant to sound like American English—to prove that Italians would just love any American song. And it was a hit.

The Bella Hadid spray-on dress is a liquid fibre — bound together with polymers — that evaporates when it hits a surface (like human skin).
It feels like suede when after drying and can be manipulated into different shapes. Insane.

Skip college. Quit your 9-5. Stop drinking. Wake up early. Go on long walks. Lift weights. Eat protein. $10k all day. It’s dead-simple. 99% of people won’t do this. Be a 1% hero. Unlock life. Cold showers. Invincibility. Power. Masculinity. Testosterone. Winning.

Your teachers are striking.
Your nurses are striking.
Your railway workers are about to strike.
“Nobody wants to work anymore” is deliberately obtuse. What nobody wants anymore is to work in understaffed, overburdened, underpaid positions so 2 dozen ppl can get rich.

Nobody matters. It’s only important how you feel about yourself, and how Keanu Reeves would feel about you if he met you.
say what you will about the 1980s being better, but you couldn't have someone deliver your family three cold hamburgers for $68.90 in less than two hours back then

An ant crosses your carpet. A spider weaves a pattern older than mammals beneath your stairs. Just nod, breathe, and think, “Good. It’s all still here. The forest, the mountains, the desert. At home in my home.” The sterile white box is the stranger. Not the ant. Not the spider.
