Oedipal Context

What happened today is terrible, but insinuating that journalism was responsible for it is... kinda a perfect encapsulation of the pattern of behavior outlined in that article.

@ShakeelHashim Well, you know what would have flown in the face of that article - a more measured response from him.

What happened to Sam Altman and his family is really awful. It is hard to reconcile his call to “de-escalate the rhetoric and tactics” with his implication that a piece of critical journalism (Ronan Farrow and Andrew Marantz’s New Yorker article, presumably) was responsible for this.

@TrungTPhan @NickJRishwain we used to be a country

@NickJRishwain absolute classic… staple of 90s blockbuster renting

Will be watching Sneakers (1992) tonight, a film about former tech colleagues turned adversaries trying to control a God-tier software tool able to exploit cybersecurity vulnerabilities at Central Banks, Energy Grids, Airports and other key modern societal infrastructure.

@mistressdivy Is she shaming me while doing it?

Guys: if a woman challenges you intellectually, is that attractive to you?

@hearinladotcom Think Abott Kinney is evolving in ways that are enticing for the westside but outside that... ooophf... maybe Venice in Mar Vista has some character but not enough.

As someone who has lived on the westside for many years and has also lived in Hollywood for even longer, it is fascinating to me how the wealthier neighborhoods struggle in the way the beef heiress accurately describes. In the ‘80s, Westwood and Third Street Promenade were so vibrant. It’s been fascinating watch these areas, which were surrounded by affluence, deteriorate for a multitude of reasons, but ultimately, I believe, due to lack of soul. Meanwhile Melrose hangs in there and the further east you wander, the cooler things get, with notable exceptions of course. It’s been fascinating watching Echo Park, Highland Park, and Eagle Rock flourish in unexpected ways. I cannot find any examples of that sort of positive change west of the 405 in the last 30 years. It will be interesting to see how this everchanging city develops in the next 25 years - especially in the Valley and South of the 10.

I'm about to run through a window

Mad Men women?

Republican women find a gay husband easier than a gay man can find a gay husband

@lindsay_rhodes How do you see the fit with the Rams (as a team where he's likely mocked)?

Prepping for a mock draft podcast later today and realizing I want to put Makai Lemon on every team. 🤷‍♀️

@kkrespawned Went to dinner need to catch up!!

@oedipalcontext I could slip her a note but then I feel like I need to make a run for it and my bags are too cumbersome

Ugh he just traded seats with his wife and now she’s sitting next to me the feminine urge to tell her to please go through his phone is so strong and powerful I am actively having to fight it

The end of this piece performing the autopsy of Lindy West's memoir and 2010 nu-feminism in general feels like the ending of Apocalypto

RT @lisaawrites: when sylvia plath wrote ‘please don’t expect me to always be good and kind and loving. there are times when i will be cold…

RT @onbeinganangel: loved her work but this is really disappointing. i hope she can clear this up

christ, I think I'm on one right now

i’d rather die in california than live in west texas

@mornings0da bout to get 1k men saying "I'm not afraid!"

@SketchesbyBoze Heard they're a hard read? True?

I’ve been reading these books and I’m telling you, there are few things that will better hone your intellect than reading a bit of history each day. You’ll understand psychology, systems, warfare, government, religion. Most of us are adrift because we don’t study history.

This like the Avengers for Whores

They crucified Michael Douglas for trying to warn us.
