So like a compass in a snowstorm, I found a dive bar (shocking, I know) and the drunky couple next to me is (lovingly but unprovoked) whisper-singing old Oasis songs to each other and it makes me think, maybe that’s what life should be, you know?But then I also think, Oasis??! Really? Maybe what’s important in life is to find ways to connect to other humans without vanity, but also maybe what’s really important is to only ever connect with other humans who understand that Oasis really only ever had two good albums and even then, “good” is debatable. #truelove

‪Just had a boarding gate bar chat with a boozy South African woman from New Jersey whose daughter was in Tucson competing in an Irish dancing competition. I don’t seek out this level of cosmopolitanism folks, it seeks out me.‬

The most recent episode of CrashCourse (on the Enlightenment) explains Rousseau and Voltaire as 18th Century “influencers” and I think that’s both funny and actually a really helpful way of understanding history.
