destroy shareholder value, achieve enlightenment

Hi!

Thanks for opening this email / reading this post.

don’t ask how I’m doing

I saw some dumbass quote the other day that was like, “maybe depressed people just need to be angrier,” and I said, “LET’S FUCKING GO.”

• I usually consider the slack-jawed, glassy-eyed lead poisoning stare to be a boomer trait, but now younger generations are getting their chance at severe cognitive defects (along with malaria and tuberculosis) due to Trump gutting the CDC. Would not be surprised if this was actually Stephen Miller scheme to ensure a fresh crop of Republican voters.

• Since when do pigs wear leashes?

• As a nosy person, seeing inside people’s homes rocks my world. I really liked these photos of famous New Yorkers’ living rooms, some inspiring (Colson Whitehead working from his gorgeous couch), some annoying (a “media executive” with a movie star girlfriend and acoustic guitar).

• The Four Brunettes of the Apocalypse.

• Quickly changing the name of the newsletter to, “Very Unpopular, Please Don’t Read,” aka, the Bill Maher method of manifesting.

Tunes to start the week with:

I’ve honestly just been listening to Pavement. Stephen Malkmus is still hot, Brighten the Corners is still a perfect album, so why mess with perfection? If you are not a Pavement listener, here are my top five tracks. A quick primer right in time for this Alex Ross Perry doc that looks really good.

1. “Old To Begin”

2. “Shady Lane/J vs. S”

3. “Range Life”

4. “Conduit for Sale!”

5. “Summer Babe - Winter Version” - the ULTIMATE Pavement track <3

And a meditation for the week.

Meditation 4

Even if I’m 
ugly sad stupid
a real disappointment 

By some miracle 
I ended up here 
so why not stay
