It sure is great to have Succession back for Season 4. I mentioned already how sad it will soon be over, but it's so much fun to jump back into the insanely dysfunctional world of the Roy family. I'm not a businessman, but I imagine the weird negotiate against yourself scenario pictured last night is not actually how multi-billion dollar deals actually work. But I'm not here to earn an MBA, I'm here to watch people be really mean to each other on private jets. Oh yeah, and to get in on the ground floor of The Hundred. Who could resist Substack meets Masterclass meets the Economist meets The New Yorker?

This exact case was brought up to me soon after I had my stroke. I don't know if it was bad luck, my age, or the kind of stroke I had but after 3 years, I got almost nothing back. I'm okay with it; in fact I'd much prefer it go better for a 15 year old girl than a grumpy old grognard like me anyway.

"The assumption that animals are without rights, and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance, is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality."
