When musicians don’t know how to end a song, they just fade out. I think other writers should do that too. Sketch comedy, screenwriting, playwrights. Have everyone talk softer and softer as they slowly sneak off stage. Novelists can end chapters with gradually shrinking type.

I appreciate this on so many levels.

Mike Nichols: “I said, ‘You can’t play it. You can never play a loser.’ And Redford said, ‘What do you mean? Of course I can play a loser.’ And I said, ‘O.K., have you ever struck out with a girl?’ and he said, ‘What do you mean?’ And he wasn’t joking.” ("The Graduate," of course)

Yup.

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

The frontal lobe is responsible for executive function, and the Lisa Loeb talks so all the time.

Any day is a fine day to listen to this chestnut from 1994.

Reminded today that CBS also cancelled The Smothers Brothers. It was a top ten show at the time.

Thinking today about how the only really good score I ever made in the Kentucky Derby was the year Maximum Security was disqualified (I had the 2nd and 3rd horses for the exacta). I was truly living the racing adage, "Better lucky than good."

@andylevy.net @daniellemoodie.bsky.social @jessecannon.bsky.social @andystweets.bsky.social Thank you all for a soul-uplifting #thenewabnormal episode today! Jesse, I really appreciate the thoughts on protesting; reminder that even chipping away is still fomenting change. Interviews were 🔥, as usual

Had an anxiety dream where I was eating a whole bag of Pepperidge Farms Butter Chessmen and feeling horribly guilty about it. Woke up and then thought DAMNIT IT WAS JUST A DREAM I SHOULD HAVE EATEN THE REST OF THE CHESSMEN

Kenyan #journalist Alvin Kaunda was reporting live from Nairobi when a curious baby #elephant, Kindani, decided to join the broadcast. The playful elephant stuck her trunk in Alvin's mouth, making for a hilarious moment! A joyful reminder of wildlife's charm and the work of the Sheldrick Trust!

Resharing this older, horrible thing. Happy Easter!
