honestly, a middle-brow (complimentary) director doing a big splashy Classics adaptation that’s sold out for a month at the IMAX and there’s an ongoing debate about it with one of its en vogue translators is probably the healthiest the culture has been in a long time

I guess I always had a vague sense that executives don't know what the people who don't report directly to them actually do every day, but yeah Covid made it clear that they have no clue whatsoever. And moreover think everyone "works" like they do (endless meetings).

one of the things covid really laid bare was that senior leaders and executives are totally disconnected from how workers actually do their work in a way that was pretty shocking and wasn’t, in my working experience, always the case (at least to this extreme)

And on a higher level, I don’t want a director to give me what I want and expect. If I go into a movie and get what I already imagined, it’s impoverishing. This is also why I find AI and algorithms repulsive. Don’t give me what I want and what I already imagined. That keeps me stuck.

Wolves w/LeBron would've been like the X-Men: 5 guys each with their own superpower, all perfectly complimentary, and heavily indexed on the two skills (shooting, defense) that are additive 76ers w/LeBron is just Heatles 2.0: a bunch of ill-fitting scorers trying to get there on raw talent

Okay just putting it out there right now: The Wolves are going to be better than the Sixers this season. They will win more regular season games and playoff games. They will have a higher SRS. They will be seen as a more serious title contender. LaMelo will be a more impactful addition than Brown.

I know that "politically homeless" is a useless/red flag phrase because it's never used by people who actually want to change the world. They want a politics that reflect their boutique opinions like it's a consumer choice. They care more about their intellectual comfort than solving problems.
