“The Muppets is the film I feel most proud of in the sense that it’s good — not quality-wise, which it is. What I mean is that it’s a good thing, what the world gets to experience with the Muppets. The Muppets are never mean to anybody, and their whole message is “We’re stronger together than we are apart, and you don’t have to get laughs by making fun of other people.” They sort of remind us of who we wanted to be when we were kids, before the world got hold of us and beat in the harsh reality of how things really are. You watch The Muppets and you’re instantly transported to the best version of yourself. That’s the thing I’m most proud of.”
A Jason Segel Retrospective Narrated by Jason Segel
I DON’T KNOW, YOU KNOW? IT’S LIKE, PLEASE GOD, NO MORE RAIN, RIGHT? I MEAN, I COULD TRAVEL AROUND WITH A POCKET FLATIRON FOR MY BANGS, AND OBVIOUSLY A NICE HOODED JACKET IS A MUST, BUT MY HAIR STILL ALWAYS LOOKS TERRIBLE BY MID-AFTERNOON. I’M PRETTY SURE WE’VE ALL GOT A BOTTLE OF ROOT LIFTER AT HOME, AND THAT’S SORT OF HELPFUL. I USE GIOVANNI ORGANICS BECAUSE THEY DON’T TEST ON MY FRIENDS, BUT IT’S JUST LIKE, HOW MUCH TIME CAN I SPEND UPSIDE DOWN BLOW DRYING MY HAIR BEFORE I PASS OUT, AND DOES IT REALLY PROVIDE THE VOLUME I WANT AFTER A DAY OF RUNNING ERRANDS IN A MONSOON? SOMETIMES I JUST TOSS IT UP IN A LOOSE BUN OR A TOPKNOT AND THAT’S PRETTY CONVENIENT, BUT I DON’T WANT TO GO TO MEETINGS WITH CLIENTS LOOKING LIKE I JUST STEPPED OUT OF CARDIO BALLET.
IT’S JUST SO FRUSTRATING. THEY SHOULD JUST GIVE US ALL OF APRIL OFF WORK.

14. And then we enter into the levels of reference again, which is where I get completely dizzy “Rollin’ on 24s/while they say on the radio”: what do they say? Oh, good God, they say what critical theory thought they’d say: “This is the remix to igntion”
15. which is to say that the song describes a party where they’re listening to the radio play a song describing a party where they’re listening to the radio playing a a song describing a party where they’re listening to the radio playing a song describing a party and well you get the general idea
16. Which is joy itself! The song has absorbed its creators, its listeners, everybody!
There’s very little chance this wasn’t posted here some time ago, all right, but honestly: this is a perfect thing which exists here before us. Whether you have read it already or not, its infinite wisdom shall never cease.

If you’ve never considered that you might be very mediocre, that’s probably exactly what you are. If you’re continually plagued by the fear that you and your work are mediocre, you’re probably pretty ok. Someone could tell you this all day long and you still wouldn’t sleep well every night. Good for you.
Don’t go to grad school unless it’s free. Or unless you’re a person who continually and uncontrollably makes scrunchy/kissy faces in photographs. If you can’t stop making scrunchy/kissy faces in photographs, you need to go to grad school. Forget that you are or were ever 26. Everyone lied when they said any other year was the worst one. It’s 26. It’ll pass.”
Southern Manners on Decline, Some Say - NY Times →
Interesting article about an incident in Atlanta where two men refused to give up their seats for two women. Of course it wasn’t quite as simple as that. The men were black, the women white.
But it does indicate something that those of us from the South can’t deny. The erosion of Southern manners.
Look, when I’m in New York City I don’t expect anyone to say “excuse me” if they bump into me and am always pleasantly surprised if someone holds the door open for me coming behind them. But I have higher standards when I return home. Please stand when I come to the table; hold open the elevator door; and by all means, give up your damn seat.
