Dan- I am so sorry I have been a looking like a loon lately. Listen to this 60’s classic. Just allow the fear to arise and pass away and rest in flow.

Kneecap was exactly as you described it! Such a great watch, we all loved it ❤️

Dan, I am having some difficulty figuring out how to interact with the material on substack. Do you know of anything like Substack for dummies?

Holy cats. Ten minutes in and I’m hooked on “Kneecap.” And now I have a new regret/rumination: why haven’t I learned Gaelic.

With all that you are doing, how do you have time to read books and watch movies? Good for you!

I really try to stop working in the evenings, which frees up time for culture. Also, weekends! I’m going to see the brutalist this weekend.

Guy Ritchie feel with a gooier center is an amazing descriptor. I’ll for sure check it out

Yes, but. The video is hilarious, but I find AI generated imagery really creepy. Maybe I'm an outlier, but I'd prefer to see hysterically funny videos of real animals doing real things.

Wait, that’s AI?

Seriously??? No cat actually moves like that, and the lower part of the body (also no isn't really a good fit for the the upper part. There are tons of AI videos of babies interacting with cats, but the cats move their bodies in ways that are human, not feline. The videos are hilarious until you look closely.

I thought the cat moved oddly. Scary if it's actually AI!
