I'm just putting this here because in a way it belongs here. I'm finding it difficult to imagine a conversation I'd be less interested in hearing.

the first thing he says to her is "you're from Scotland" and then the first question is "what's it like growing up in Scotland"

at least he didn't say 'talk a little bit about growing up in scotland' i guess

holy shit...the whole quote is absurd, but I highlighted my favorite part
I think it would have been better off if Zuckerberg stayed in college. Hell, I think EVERYBODY should stay in college, to show you can complete something, that's what life is all about, completing stuff, kinda like playing HQ Trivia to go all the way. It's the essence of marriage. If your significant other is a drug addict, or is physically harming you, get out, that's cool. But even if they're having an affair, WHY DID THEY? It takes two to make a situation, it's best to dig deep and solve it. But no one wants to dig deep anymore.

Lefsetz really went all out with the research on this one:
Do I know enough about Garbage? I bought the first album, was caught up the mania, but Shirley Manson was a cool ice queen, right?WRONG!She’s sassy and opinionated and smart…
WRONG!

bob, and only bob, and no one else, has thoughts on avicii.
― fact checking cuz, Saturday, 21 April 2018 13:39 (six years ago) link
also, it's oman's fault.
I'm thinking it's drugs, it's always drugs, especially when it comes out of the blue. Sure, Avicii spoke of health problems before, they caused him to retire from the road, but what was he doing in Oman anyway.
So it’s kinda like school shootings. Everyone laments the deceased’s passing, talks about what a wonderful person they were, how great their music was, and then it’s business as usual.Meanwhile, what kind of outlaw ties up with corporations, doing sponsorships? If it’s about image, your credibility is immediately shot.

Donald Glover was on "Community," is in the second season of his own highly-lauded series "Atlanta" and has one of the longest running hits on the chart with "Redbone," a cut from his THIRD Glassnote album and still...Most people had no idea who he was.Until now.

i'm going to take the fact "no idea who he was" isn't in all-caps as some kind of major lefsetzian breakthrough.

You don't want to be second best, you don't want to be a booty call, you want to be PRIMARY, but even though you say no, that does not mean you still don't hurt, still don't desire, still don't fantasize.

Or you could be the inane publishing industry, which killed e-books so it could maintain its old numbers. Amazon wanted to push the industry into the future, GROW the business, with all titles under ten bucks. But NO! (Where is John Belushi when you need him?) Now e-books cost as much as, and sometimes even MORE, than physical. The book industry thinks it won, but it lost
TBF, editors and publishers and cover designers and researchers and lawyers and manuscript-readers and acqusitions staff and secretaries and software licenses and rent and electricity and office equipment wouldn't need to be paid if the inane publishing industry just stopped existing and every single book was text-only and published & sold by Amazon for $9.99, of which 99c goes to the author.

oh you sweet naive child
Your eyes would have bugged out. Girls in bikinis. Short ones, tall ones, big ones, small ones. So many fish in the sea you became inured to them. I didn’t know breasts came in that many shapes and sizes. That you could be that thin and be so naturally endowed.

holy shit the entire piece that katherine quoted contains enough Lefgems to keep this thread going for a year
...the assembled multitude was a rainbow of colors, as many Latinos as whites, maybe more, blacks, multicultural people, [...]But it was not scary, AT ALL! Bump into someone by accident and no one took offense. With that many people in attendance you could get scared, think of violence, but there was none of that, it was strangely calm.But in VIP most of the people were white. So we’re still segregated, albeit by economic opportunity and success.

the latest letter is....a lot to take in
Yesterday I played Shawn Colvin’s “Steady On,” of which I had an advance cassette, I played it that week in Minnesota after my ex-wife left, she said she’d call when I landed, but she never did. And when we finally connected I told her not to pick me up at the airport, I just could not be disappointed once more.
also a possible Minnesota connection!!!! woah

Bump into someone by “accident,” just to test if they’re “naturally endowed,” and no one takes offense (or at least can catch you as you slip away through the crowd)

Reminds me of that Lou Reed interview:
Sirius's impending merger with XM is anticipated to boost earnings. Do you own any stock in the company?What are you, a fucking asshole? I'm here telling you the truth about music and you want to know if I have stock in the fucking radio? You fucking piece of shit. What did I do to deserve that?
