“How was work?”
“I’ve been beefing with Joyce Carol Oates about transubstantiation and Flannery O’Connor”
“What”
“Well she doesn’t know it but I’ve been destroying all her points”
“What”

And wooden bookmarks!
I’m on a crusade to make people stop gifting junk. It’s bad for the wallet, the environment, and the soul
Stocking stuffers don’t have to suck! They just shouldn’t be random crap:
The ideal items are either immediately consumable (candy, hot cocoa, etc) or something you need
Good categories for the latter include:
- Toiletries (nail clippers, makeup, makeup wipes, travel-size shampoos/sunscreen/etc)
-Socks, underwear, gloves, hats, scarves
-Books!!!
-Candles and mugs
-Office supplies (pens, pads, envelopes, stationery, postage stamps)
-Crayons, markers, chalk
-Pantry items (coffee, tea, local honey, fun hot sauce)
-Headphones, chargers, and AirTags, if that’s your type of budget
-Random household things that are actually useful (scissors, kitchen tools, fun soaps, batteries (I know it sounds weird but especially for toys!), Tide pens)
-Seeds and bulbs for planting
-Hobby items (golf balls and tees, guitar picks, yarn, fishing tackle, tennis or lacrosse balls)
Basically, for the love of Christmas, avoid anything marketed as a “stocking stuffer”

A lot of people seem to be jumping on a doom-saying "What would you EXPECT from a heavily BLACK nation?!" analysis of the SA collapse.
I mean, when I go to Jamaica, Bermuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Brazil, etc....I expect the water to run.
The ANC are genuinely incompetent thieves. Cultural and systemic variables have a gigantic impact on outcomes. I.e., New World Latino states often have a HIGHER crime rate than black or Slavic/Stani countries - but not under Bukele :).

Big day for my professional life. I’m a little nervous. Good vibes, friendly energy, and prayers for taking the right path are most welcome and appreciated. 🙏

I would wish not to be hasty in censuring any one; but I always speak what I think.

I love that scene in Good Will Hunting where Ben Affleck is talking to Matt Damon's titular character Will Hunting and he's like “you've got a gift man and you've gotta get outta this town and make something of yourself” and the gift in question is being really good at math and the town he needs to get out of is Boston, Massachusetts.
