@bascule What a relief to see a guy in his demographic get cooler and more empathetic with age. There are a lot of rich, but B-list or not quite as famous as they used to be, celebrities that turn to being grumpy old fascists with fever dreams of how they are victims of cancel culture. No, it's the kids who a wrong! Whenever I click on an interview with a guy of his demographics and stature, I brace myself for disappointment.

@skweetis @bascule I have become much better off in old age than I was in my youth, and I have become much more of a lefty as I've aged. Not all us old fucks become FYIGM types as we get older :)
