i hold a record on the kobayashi maru. i’m the fastest person to ever say it was a no-win situation. they said, “george, we haven’t even finished explaining it yet.” i said, “doesn’t matter. can’t be done.” they accused me of cheating. there were hearings, inquiries.

Just finished reading One Day and it’s final few chapters have left me feeling a lot of emotions

While I was in the US I went to see the new Indiana Jones movie in a cinema. Im sad to report that Americans actually do clap and cheer DURING a movie. I couldn’t believe it. Absolutely unhinged behaviour.
