Lots of praise & criticism of Douthat as he leaves NYT for 60 Minutes. I'll demur as I have avoided anything w/ that blithering blowhard's (oops!) byline for a decade. Tbf, I do the same with Dowd.

Send in your work! We appreciate the writer's voice. Sometimes, people don't value the idiosyncrasy -- the way that one naturally talks or thinks, the turns of phrase, the associations, the unique details that reflect one's work, one's experience, one's history and inquiry.  We like personality!

As you age, your social graph starts to ossify.

Unless you take deliberate effort to put yourself in generative spaces where you meet a lot of new people, you'll tend to want to spend time with the people you already know.

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! What's YOUR #LastFourWatched?

When a man's got money in his pockets he begins to appreciate peace.

I've been in the mood for horses, sand, and taciturn men who let their guns do the talking. Leone's been a big blindspot for me. Then some Coens, and a pair of Elmore Leonard
