There's often an oversimplification when it comes to political conversations, but I think all the conversations your parents have with you as a child about beauty hold up here. Also, yeah celebrity is everywhere. And if you're not trying to reach out to Taylor Swift, they're within reach. I don't check my replies or DMs much, but if I rewatch a music video by an artist I like, they usually like or respond because, like Branko said in the bad arts friends episode a few years ago, if you're not Taylor Swift you're lucky if a few thousand people view your stuff. I guess thats the difference between being a fan of someone and being swept up in a scene.

Re the zoom ai chat assist- I went to a labor leader/organizer event and the head of one of the badass flight attendants union said the zoom ai was a boon to record-keeping and transparency- allowing them to have minutes for all meetings to share quickly and easily. I remain skeptical- but the fact is, my understaffed and overworked union, which refuses to use ai, doesnt have those things. Re NEXT with nic cage- it was executive produced by the brother of a kid I went to elementary school with who was a huge philip k dick fan and so in the early web 1.0 days bought the domain name philipkdick dot com, which he later sold to the writer's estate for the rights to one short story.

Wild when Speer shows up in The Shock of the New joking about what "the boss" would have done to him if he'd seen how poorly one of his buildings had aged.

Making Triumph of the Will and shaking my head the whole time to show I disagree with it.

Bourbon conversation makes me sad because I was just getting into it when the tariffs caused Canadian liquor marts to pull American liquor off the shelves. I have found a whisky that is an ok substitute but it’s still not the same.

Ha! All the podcasters who boosted Trump made the same excuse. "Well Harris wouldn't talk to us"
