I had the privilege recently of receiving guided tour in NYC from John Rothman on the Greenwich Village street where we are neighbors. While short in physical distance, the tour covered a meandering set of topics including many of the current and former inhabitants of this tree-lined side street. An exceptional guide with deep expertise!
Ahhhh sir cope, great to see you in the comment section. I recently discovered the meandering tour and it’s been a game changer. Glad to see you’ve been enjoying it as well. As for the Johnny tour, can only imagine how that went, but wish I was there
My current research involves telling the following joke to Liberals (LIB) and Conservatives (CON): A horse walks into a bar; the bartender says "why the long face". The horse replies "My job at NIH was eliminated." CON participants when encountering this joke displayed a greater activation of the mesolimbic dopaminergic reward system, including the amygdala, midbrain, and nucleus accumbens than LIB participants. This suggests a more pleasurable response to someone losing employment but perhaps also a conviction that horses should not be leading scientific research projects. More study is needed.
"And if we give them A.I. companions that they can order around, that will always flatter them, we are creating people who no one will want to employ or marry. . . . "
“Character is who you are when no one is looking” is spot on.
Along those lines, Ray Kroc (of all people) is given attribution for “It’s easy to have principles when you’re rich. The important thing is to have principles when you’re poor.”
I want that business card posted to my home address, stat.
The Johnny Rothman card?
High Holidaze?
Stick to PowerPoint decking!

"Bitter Herb, Thai Shtick, High Holidaze, In-Haggadah-Da-Vida, and Duderonomy"
Love these ideas - has anybody ever linked Iron Butterfly to the Haggadah - that's got to be a first! ... ... agree on the jellies ...

This comment took a lot of work.

But an excellent Presidential cabinet member.
